SUDBURY, United Kingdom – February 29, 2016 – The BLU Pill Act will allow the UK government to snoop in its citizens online browsing and mobile history. Rebelephant created Mainlining, a computer-hacking adventure game that questions techno-ethics and whether it is acceptable for an organization to have the power to investigate personal data. Mainlining features a mix of dark and dry humor and gameplay that echoes nostalgic point and click adventures. To raise more funds to release the game by October 2016, Rebelephant launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise £15,000 by March 26, 2016. 

The game was created because of the “Draft Investigatory Powers Bill,” legislation that will allow the UK to snoop in its citizens online browsing and mobile history. Mainlining gives people a preview of what it would be like if all online personal data were accessible by the governing powers. In the game, the government introduces the BLU Pill Act and the Secret Intelligence Service’s reintroduction of MI7. The player is an MI7 operative and the main objective is to ensure perpetrators’ arrests and the provision of sufficient evidence in order ensure the longest custodial sentences possible.
