One of the more intriguing reveals from the Story-Rich Showcase was A Line Held Tight, a narrative-focused sci-fi visual novel from UK-based developer Humble Grove.

Set in the 32nd century, the game puts you in the role of The Canary, a miner living in the isolated Brightworld mining colony. With the settlement cut off from the rest of humanity, tensions begin to rise as a workers’ strike threatens to tear the community apart. As outside forces get involved, you’ll be forced to decide where your loyalties lie and what kind of future the colony deserves.

While conversation and relationship-building sit at the heart of the experience, A Line Held Tight isn’t afraid to escalate things when conflict boils over. Players will also take control of massive industrial work mechs, machines designed for mining rather than combat, as the situation becomes increasingly volatile.

A Line Held Tight launches on PC and Mac later in 2026, and a demo is already available on Steam.
