Screenshots
Coldline is an interactive puzzle game set during the Cold War, challenging players to avert a nuclear disaster in under 10 minutes. You assume the role of the USSR chairman in 1962, tasked with contacting the US President to prevent a 50-megaton warhead from reaching New York City. The gameplay is akin to an escape room experience, where players must navigate a series of clues and an automated hotline menu to successfully connect with the White House. This unique premise combines urgency with puzzle-solving, requiring players to think critically and act quickly.
The game’s mechanics are straightforward, as it only necessitates the use of a numeric keypad, making it accessible to players regardless of their gaming background. Coldline emphasizes trial and error, allowing for a fun yet challenging experience. Its minimalist design and simple user interface facilitate quick engagement, although its difficulty can be deceptive. Players will find themselves engrossed in the challenge of saving the day while racing against time.
