"What...sort of person...can seal the fate...of millions...and still live...with himself?"

An indie cyberpunk RPG made with RPG Maker 2000, A Blurred Line follows the story of ordinary blue-collar joe Talan, who works for the all powerful and omnipresent Company. When the President of the Company is assassinated after giving a speech at the factory Talan works at, Talan finds himself the prime suspect and goes on the run. It's then up to Talan to evade his pursuers while getting to the bottom of the mystery at hand.
The game is widely considered (within the RPG Maker community) to be one of the better games made with the program, mostly for its compelling story. Unfortunately, the game remains unfinished. Although the first two parts are complete, the final chapter, Line's End, has not been forthcoming. Since it's been several years since the release of the last chapter, and the creator of the game has moved on to other things, it's unlikely to be completed.
- Decoy Protagonist: The prologue is from the viewpoint of Kersh, Cole and Manta as they try to stop Talan from destroying the Link holding the Catch Colony to the Earth. The rest of the game sets up Talan's motives for doing such an act.
- Let's Play: There's one done by Tobias Grant from Something Awful.
- Mega Corp: The Company.
- Mind Rape: What Mnemosyne essentially does to the Agency Captain/Kersh, leaving him quite scarred. Unfortunately, the Package helps him snap out of it.
- Orphaned Series
