What Linelight is

Linelight is an adventure game developed by My Dog Zorro and released in 2017. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, Oculus Quest and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

2017 saw the release of numerous video games as well as other developments in the video game industry. The Nintendo Switch console was released in 2017, which sold more than 14 million units by the end of the year, exceeding the under-performing Wii U lifetime sales. This has helped to revitalize Nintendo, along with the "retro" Super NES Classic Edition console, the refreshed New Nintendo 2DS XL handheld and a strategy for mobile gaming. Microsoft also released the higher-powered Xbox One X targeted for 4K resolutions and virtual reality support.
