A SPECIAL note: Lines Knight was crafted with a big dose of creativity from a young autistic hero, who helped shape the UI, screen layouts, and game behavior. Some things might look or feel a bit different—that’s part of the magic! We hope you’ll appreciate this unique perspective and enjoy the game just as much as we enjoyed making it. WARNING: dangerously addictive and a serious supper-time snatcher!
