Description
“[A] surprising iPhone and Apple Watch bestseller is pushing the boundaries of fiction” - boingboing.net
“This is the best game on the Apple Watch” - Time.com
Lifeline is a playable, branching story of survival against all odds. Using your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, you will help Taylor make life or death decisions, and face the consequences together.
Acclaimed writer Dave Justus (Fables: The Wolf Among Us) weaves a gripping interactive story through the aftermath of a crash landing on an alien moon. Taylor is stranded, the rest of the crew are dead or missing, and Taylor’s communicator can only reach you.
Lifeline pioneered a new narrative experience enabled by modern devices. This story plays out in real time as Taylor works to stay alive, notifications deliver new messages throughout your day. Keep up as they come in, or catch up later when you’re free. You can even respond to Taylor directly from your Apple Watch or your iPhone lock screen, without launching into the app.
Or, dive in and jump back to earlier points in the story, and see what happens when you make a different choice. Simple actions can have a profound effect. Complete any single path to restart the story and unlock this mode.
Lifeline is a deep, immersive story of survival and perseverance, with many possible outcomes. Taylor is relying on YOU.
You can play Lifeline in any of these languages:
- English
- French
- German
- Russian
- Simplified Chinese
- Japanese
- Spanish
- Korean
NEW in version 1.8: Stick around after the game for a special story epilogue from Dave Justus. For players who have already finished the game, the Bonus Story becomes available under the game options. Witness the events leading up to Lifeline: Silent Night.
Internet connection not required. No in-app purchases and no ads.
Praise for Lifeline:
“I’ve played many games that I find engrossing, but Lifeline may be one of the first that changed the way I thought about my daily routine, which leapt off the screen and became a part of my lived experience.” - Eli Cymet, Gamezebo
“I felt an immediate attachment to a fictional character pinging me from a strange galaxy to my wearable.” - Luke Hopewell, Gizmodo Australia
“[P]laying it on the Apple Watch makes you truly feel like you’re exchanging messages with an astronaut via a futuristic transmitter.” - Michael Andronico, Tom’s Guide
“For a few brief hours I cared – really cared – about the fate of a completely fictional character. I don’t think any other game I’ve played has made me feel that way before.” - Matt Thrower, PocketGamer

Build 812440486v1.32015-05-29 19:21:03
Everybody, you’re *amazing*! You’ve completely stunned us with your enthusiasm for Lifeline. We’re happy to release version 1.3 with several fixes and improvements:
• You'll unlock Fast Mode after completing any single story path, instead of on your second ending.
• After you finish any story path, you can now rewind to certain “checkpoints” if you’ve passed them, instead of all the way to the beginning (this is hard to describe without spoilers!).
• If you were stuck at that one problem spot later on in the story, you’ll be automatically fixed.
• Auto-scrolling has been fixed on iPad.
• Added Apple Watch voiceover accessibility for buttons.
Thanks again! Now get in there, Taylor needs your help!
Build 812306810v1.22015-04-28 22:59:51
Thanks everyone for the absolutely fantastic response and quick bug reports. You’ve completely blown us away! We have some great fixes in this update:
• Improved scrolling on Apple Watch.
• Fixed story typos & bugs, especially a spot where you could get stuck by following a specific sequence of choices. If you got stuck here, you may have to back up to the last decision point and make your choice again to proceed.
• Fixed a problem where you could not review recent messages if you returned to the game after Taylor has disconnected. Instead of an automatic popup, a system message button will now appear at the end of the story log.
• Clarified how to restart the story once you’ve completed any path (tap the button at the bottom of the screen and choose "Start Story Over”).
• Clarified that once you’ve finished any path you can revisit previous choices by scrolling back and tapping either of the response buttons.
• Improved scrolling & Fast Mode: it will only auto-scroll if you’re already at the end of the story log. By the way, Fast Mode unlocks after completing any two story paths.
Thanks again everybody! Now go save Taylor!
Build 812230956v1.12015-04-17 17:32:49
Stay connected to Taylor with your Apple Watch.

Standard concept, poor execution
The concept is just what I expected when I found the game- Taylor is a student "scientist", working on some "experiment" with rats on the "Vario", a multi-million (billion?) dollar extra-solar system ship. The ship crashes, Taylor manages to be shoved on board a now destroyed escape pod and needs to find water, food, warmth and possibly the rest of the crew along with .... well, I think the less obvious needs of Taylor change with the choices the earth bound assistant makes for Taylor, within very limited strictures.
Those are some of the basics of the scenario but moving on in gameplay I'm

Fun adventure
My son turned me onto this years ago. This game is fun of course the first time I played I like killed poor Taylor a gazillion times. But it’s a playable game. This is the first one in his series. There’s four adventures for him and those games are just as fun. It’s one of those games that have you play. He let sit for a while when you can’t remember what happened and then you play again. It doesn’t get old. And I like the fact that you can just kinda take your time he’ll send you a text and then he’ll be off doing something and it’s not a Constant thing, unless you decided to turn on fast mod

Best. Game. Ever.
This game gave me one of the best experiences I’ve ever experienced in a game, the real time gameplay was crazy! One tip if you are thinking of playing, turn off notifications while you sleep because playing this at night gives you the chills. Especially at 3 AM 😳👾

10/10 recommend
Since the start of the game to the end of the game, it’s been nothing but fun and I like all the questions and things you have to think about in the game and the puzzles that he gives you to answer.
Two game creator. Thank you for making this game and as you’ve been feeling that it was a good view and I’m only 13. Thank you for making the game.

Interesting narrative device, decent-ish writing
Downloaded this because the idea of storytelling over time through a fake interface seemed interesting. The game is decent and is an interesting gimmick.
Unfortunately, there isn’t really much gameplay to speak of - almost any choice you make that’s a wrong choice Taylor will ignore and just do what the story wants you to do instead. There are only really 2 major choices at the very end that determine what ending you get. Everything else is pretty pointless and leads to the exact same text eventually.
The writing is also - fine, but not amazing. It’s like a college student wrote a sci-fi sho

Lifetime Lifeline
I’ve been out of here for a long time, even didn’t know the whole series’ removal from my region. I managed an impulse try to recover my purchase, also a chance to rewind all my memories. Now it has been almost 9 years since the little nagging genius communicated with me, who was a girl sneakily playing iPad for the first time at 3 a.m.
I love this feeling of being someone’s company, hope and — LIFELINE!! And I always believe that it’s a two-way relationship. We’re actually saving each other.
Without exaggeration, I’ll say this game changed and determined my life. Thanks for creating Taylor —

BORING!!! Takes too long to move story along
Text is hard for me to read. It’s not the size, it’s the font with the light blue words on the black background. Not a good combo. Should be able to change background and font color and style. Not easy on the eyes at all. Very corny jokes and annoying commentary. Too much snark and not enough realism. I wanted Taylor to die because he/she was the most annoying character I have ever come across in a game and I play A LOT! Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to kill him, so I killed the whole app. This game must have been written by a child. That would explain all the positive comments, bec

8 Years of Playing!
When people talk about their Roman Empires, I never thought I had one. Until, literally twenty minutes ago at the time of writing this review, my brain finally gave me the name of this experience. This was one of the first mobile apps I ever owned on my own phone (back when it was, if I remember correctly, free, since I was twelve and had no job to pay for silly phone games), and no matter how many times I finished I would play it again and again. I’m now almost 20 years old and I’ve just repurchased all Taylor’s stories to live through again. Truly one of the best games I’ve ever had the plea

Neat concept
Only a little ways in but I get the concept. Pretty cool, it’s unique and that is something that is lacking in games today. Four stars just because I haven’t finished it, when I do I would be willing to up it to 5 stars (unless it just gets really stupid).
Update: changing from 4 to 5 stars, had a blast with this one. Kind of short, but there’s is a bonus story, then a sequel. Awesome job guys, what a cool game.

I really enjoyed this text-only, choose-your-adventure-style game. I was surprised how much I connected with the main character and how I wanted to help him out. I enjoy the plot line and the overall mystery. I’m looking forward to the next one.

Taylor’s boring
Ive been trying to play this game for a week and every decision I make that I think is going to lead to something interesting happening, I wait a few hours in real time for Taylor to come back and say that she wants to turn around. If I make her persist, I want a few more real hours for her to come back and say she still wants to turn around. Nothing is happening, just walking and wanting to turn around. There’s no direction and no story it seems like, just like endlessly going in super boring annoying circles for no reason

Really interesting, fun game
I really got into the game and felt the concerns of Taylor, trying to assist in a series of decisions that felt as if they really had consequence – and they do to the characters in the story. It's multifaceted where decisions have outcome for the characters and encourages you to figure out what's going on as much of the situation faced by Taylor remains shrouded, being revealed very slowly. The game has breaks where the character is resting, working, or walking across this desolate moon where the ship crashes. Well worth the time for this quality gameplay!

If I could give it more stars I would
The lifeline series is my favorite series across the entire App Store. There is no better storyline that draws you in and makes you feel connected to a character any better than this series of games, with this game being the best one in my opinion. I’m a few years out of high school now and I remember playing this game in junior high. Thought I would leave a review after remembering this game and just how much of a masterpiece it was. Glad to see there’s plenty more added to the series while I’ve been gone ;)

Did not expect something so good to Come from buying this
At first I thought this was going to be pointless and then when my mom decided to just click by it anyways I was a little bit upset that her money got wasted on something so pointless and then I actually played it and it was amazing my only request would be able to have an option of a mini gameOr maybe a button to click that so we can see what he sees at the very moment not anything that moves just may be a picture like if he was standing out of area and he was busy and if he was standing at the Varia we would just be able to see the Varia And that would be it no bugs or anything so far and I

Lifeline
Lifeline has wonderful creativity in how the story goes, choices can puzzle your brain into making the right choice and helping Taylor survive! Also, using beliefs (aka, aliens who take over your body)
on such a game, really stretches out the imagination of one’s mind.
As you follow Taylor on an epic adventure, you have fun all the way through!

Masterfully written
I have had this game for years. The story is incredibly well written in a not-in-your-face kind of way. The pacing is just right, with highs and lows to keep you on your toes. Sometimes it really does feel like you are having an interaction through a terminal. Very much recommended.

I love this game. Been invested for YEARS
I found this game when it first came out back when I was in high school, it was the free game of the week in the App Store and within a few hours all of my friends were invested in the story as well. Now I’m Back playing it again in preparation for the newest installment game coming out soon!!
Taylor is amazingly written and the style of the game is so unique. The real-time not knowing if you made the right choice is captivating and just so so cool. 10/10 I would recommend this game and the sequels involving Taylor’s story.

Worth All 107 Pennies
This game, first off, is a masterpiece... I loved having to wait for Taylor, in real time; it was satisfying to play it over the course of a few days and then reach the end, rather then just playing for an hour, winning, and then having it be over... This game is genius, so well done. It focuses on the story and puts YOU in charge of making big decisions and paying the price for each decision you make; good or bad. If more games are ever made like this, I'm in!!

Playable again & again!
Like many of the reviews, I’m re-downloading this game for the third or fourth time, which not only makes it an excellent investment, but also speaks to how well it’s made and fun it is to play over and over. I’ve even bought all the other Lifeline games, which I will also replay after playing this one again (I like to go in order of game release because they get better and better). If you’re new to this game, it won’t disappoint and you’ll find yourself coming back to it time and again. I can’t wait for new versions to come out. When might that be, developers??????

These games have stuck with me
I first downloaded Lifeline some five or six years ago. Every now and again I come back and redownload, especially when I’m having a hard time. You feel connected to the characters. Taylor is like a friend to you. The stories are so great too.
Thank you devs, 10/10 recommend

Fun the first time, but ultimately disappointing
I really enjoyed playing through this the first time, but was really disappointed upon going back and trying to find alternate storylines, only to find that there’s really only one story, hitch can only end in a couple of different ways. 99% of the “choices” you make in directing Taylor are totally inconsequential, and you are forced down the same pipeline of a story no matter what you choose. I guess I was expecting the options to lead to different events transpiring. But I still give four stars for a really fun initial play-through!

This game touches my soul love it!
Under helpful User (gratefulformusic & konyvka) had an experience very similar to mine. It’s been a few years since I played. I started playing lifeline when It first came out and at that time I was going through a really hard time and very depressed and lonely. I remember some days the only thing that got me through the day was this game. Worrying about Taylor took my mind off what was eating me up. I was so lonely and depressed it felt good to know that someone needed me even if it was just a game. a fictional character that overcame many obstacles gave me strength to push through what I was

Engaging and exciting
So well written, and so much personality and heart in the characters. I appreciate the attention in not gendering the main character of Taylor so it is up to the reader’s interpretation. Can’t speak highly enough of this game, and once you start you’ll need to play all of the other games. There is a bigger story at play and it’s amazing to learn new pieces of the puzzle as you play different games. So looking forward to the future.

Awesome and unique
I’m barely beginning the series in 2021 I’ve always wanted to play this but for some reason waited cuz I never heard anyone else talk about the game I got tired of waiting and 6 years later finally bought it and I’m glad I did I have never been a big fan of choice based games the only choice based games I really liked was Electronic Arts (EA) A Way Out or The Dark pictures anthology Man of Medan published by Bandai namco but this is a really cool game. I love how Taylor who is technically an ai playing a human character feels real. The way y’all made this ai character is unbelievable because i

Great game
I played through this game a few years ago and loved it. It kept me engaged the whole time and was so much fun. Enough fun I remember paying the $0.99 for the feature to speed up the game so that I could play it a few more times to try different options. Just thought about it and re-downloaded it to play again!

Great Story
If your looking for a game that story drive and similar to the text based adventure games of the 80s then this is it. The game takes place in “real time” so it can take some time for choices to play out. I like the concept that your the only one this stranded astronaut can speak to, if you have seen the movie the Martian with Matt Damon you’ll like this game quite a bit.

I can’t recommend this game enough.
Heyo! I don’t know if lifeline is still being made, or if it’s left as only something from our pasts for us to cherish, but regardless - these games (if you could even call them that) are some of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen. And what I mean by what I said earlier, is, as cheesy and sappy as this is gonna sound, they aren’t ‘games,’ they’re more than that - they’re such amazing experiences. From the actual waiting hours if Taylor is doing something that takes hours (which is so cool and immersive), to the sheer emotional tugging they do on you, it really, REALLY, makes you care wh

So amazingly creepy
This game is fantastic. As a ten year old, for me it’s the kind of game you never play at night, in the dark, or alone. Seriously, though. The devs are awesome. The subtle sound effects really help it all come together. The waits are a little annoying, but it helps you to take breaks and do other stuff. But god, this game is great. I didn’t know Taylor could die until...well, until they did. You need to make more. Really. I think that’s all I have to say, thanks for reading, have a great day, and stay safe! 😷🦠🧴
