Save Taylor!
Lifeline is a playable, branching story of survival against all odds. 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. 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. Supports Wear OS! You can play Lifeline in any of these languages: English French German Russian Simplified Chinese Japanese Spanish Korean 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 “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 Lifeline was created by: Dave Justus Mars Jokela Dan Selleck Colin Liotta Jackie Steege Wilson Bull Jason Nowak Ben “Books” Schwartz

I bought this game in 2015 and "regrettably" never played it through. Maybe I was not "ready". But somehow I remembered about it recently and gave it another go and wow! Yes, I regret not playing it 10 years ago, but better late than never. I got the rest of the series and can't wait to continue Taylor's story!
- Gerrit Janse van Rensburg · v2.3.4
Solid experience
- Sergei Peshek
A replay. Still as good as I remembered it.
- Arnold Mwanjila · v2.3.4
This was a lot of fun! Some of the choices aren't really choices because some of the plot is mandatory, but nonetheless, i played it twice and it was very enjoyable! The plot thickens and it's quite creepy but coool! If you have a smartphone old enough to run this, you should! (i hope this gets remade for newer systems)
- Joris Lean · v2.3.4
great, but i can't play the other games.. will you add compatibility for the next games in the series? because new android versions can't play. really depressing
- דניאל פרץ · v2.2
The Lifeline games are unequaled in the genre. Singularly clever, uneasy, and engrossing. I've been Taylor's only guidance and connection to humanity in the vast , cold, darkness of space 4 times over the years and get sucked in each and every time. And this is only the first chapter in the green nightmare! There's so much more to help (h)er navigate through!
- Meg Lem Graz · v2.3.4
great narrative game
- Florence · v2.3.4
One of the greatest, most gut-wrenching experiences I've ever had! What a stellar game. Great writing, great fun - the story is enthralling and the determination to save Taylor is innate. A truly immersive experience, I highly recommend it for anyone who loves sci-fi, horror, and/or thriller and suspense. I was always anxiously and eagerly awaiting another message from my stranded space cadet.
- E. J. · v2.3.4
Doesn't work at all on Samsung Galaxy watch ultra. Just opens to a black screen and stays there indefinitely
- Ray Hoertz · v2.2
this game...changed my life. play it yourself. it is beautiful..its incredible.
- Bob Walker
Really good. Some frustrating bits where it feels like you don't get a say in what happens, but then that could be the case if you really were exchanging messages with someone remotely (still frustrating though) Well worth giving a go.
- Zapp Brannigan · v2.3.4
we're all the rest of the stores?
- S W (Soracis) · v2.3.4
Doesn't launch
- Lorne Serpa · v2.1.1
I had so much fun playing this game; Taylor is so well written and the setting is really interesting. Throughout my day, if I didn't receive a notification after a while, I'd check in myself xD I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will be looking into the other games!!
- Monica Cao · v2.3.4
Telling the story through notifications that you have to wait a long time for, with just a tiny tiny snippets of story at each time, is a gimmick that I quickly started to dislike.
- Peter S · v2.3.4
A great story! This is the type of casual game that there needs to be more of.
- Rion Wilson-Yue · v2.3.4
Unique and engaging experience. I was genuinely invested in helping the protagonist.
- Adam
This cost me $2.99, but I would pay $10 for this. I had no idea what I was in for when I first started. This felt like I was actually messaging and helping someone stranded on a distant moon, and at times, I felt true fear or happiness. It is an amazing storyline and it is set up great.
- Ethan Huber · v2.3.4
"Great game for the price. It's hard not to be attached to the character, bravo developers!" Wrote this ten years ago, came back to play a classic.
- Donavon Steele · v2.3.4
Great story and superb implementation ❤️
- Jakob Björkskog · v2.3.4
idk I just feel like it's kinda oppish
- Mackenzie Sabourin · v2.3.4
Try it on my Galaxy watch 7 on the black screen 2 sours and only 2 because I like the game
- Josh Prevost · v2.3.4
Replayed this recently and it was still as engaging as I remembered! Very well written character and story, loved it
- Niwi Wini · v2.3.4
one of my fav in my childhood.
- yilin lu · v2.3.4
trash
- hari shankar shaw · v2.3.4
paid money for a game that you click something every 30 minutes 1 time and read that's it. this game is not worth 1 dollar.
- Eric Breeding · v2.3.4
I really enjoyed this game. The messaging concept was great and it allowed to play intermittently instead of having to keep playing long stretches of time, something I don't have time for. Great story and looking forward to see more from this writer.
- Aurélien Lainé · v2.3.4
Phenomenal I love it
- Kristine R · v2.3.4
Solid story and the concept itself is really fun. Played all of them and loved it.
- Joel Malin · v2.3.4
play it
- Gizmo Thirteen · v2.3.4
A fun, engaging text-based adventure with a lot of personality. Like an enhanced choose-your-own-adventure book. I recommend it!
- Lawrence L · v2.3.4
Fantastic game. Kept me glued to the seat at the end.
- Iris S · v2.3.4
Didn't expect much from a paid text based game. However, the story is amazing, altho a bit repetitive as many choices lead to same scenarios, other than that, the game's great, it even works on wearOS.
- Rares V · v2.3.4
Extremely impressed with the game, my only problem with it is that it isn't longer! Definitely going to have to play the other ones too! Works perfectly on Google pixel watch 3
- Sam Hammes · v2.3.4
Great story, clever concept—but why does Taylor treat me like a distant relative who only responds every few hours? I give advice, he disappears. Hours later, I get a needy notification. Repeat. It’s less sci-fi adventure and more glorified waiting room. By the time I remember the game, I’ve lost interest. Skip to the end, press a button, wait another three hours. Nice idea, but I’d rather watch paint dry in real-time.
- Alex · v2.3.4
Taylor does not do anything you tell her to do. It's not a choose your own adventure game if she ignores your advice. Very frustrating.
- Cooper Exley · v2.3.4
Tried on Galaxy Watch4 and Watch7 and got nothing but a black screen.. Bummer.. I really love the Lifeline games..
- Jason Dykstra · v2.3.4
Such a fun and unique story! I've gone straight onto playing the 2nd game.
- Liam Haddadi · v2.3.4
Incredibly boring - Not worth it. I have all notifications on and it still wont notify me when I get a response. Takes ages for any response so I forget what was happening when I see it. Dont buy this so called game, it sucks.
- Erica Lee · v2.3.4
The best $3 I've ever spent. I really recommend doing the "Slow" option, at least until you get a definitive end. The pacing is absolutely fantastic
- Paul Piatek · v2.3.4
This game/story line game, was awesome! It's crazy the way you're like messaging this person stranded in space, and you're trying to help her get outa there. I warn you that you should not turn on the speed up. It feels a lot more realistic if you do it the normal way. Also, it will be a little boring at first, but somewhere towards the middle or so, it starts getting pretty intense. So, definitely 5 stars. Would give 10 if I could!
- Jonah Cristurean · v2.3.4
Love this game
- Andrew Procarione · v2.3.4
The game was more like a "Choose Your Own Adventure Book". I was slightly disappointed based on all the positive reviews. There was nothing impressive about the game. It's just a story with multiple outcomes based on your decisions.
- David Rivera
Bad
- Muhammad Riyan
So far so good I just started it a few days ago lol get back with a more in depth review shortly
- I Am The Night · v2.3.4
This is really interesting and fun
- Zach Moses · v2.3.4
Taylor is busy
- Mikhalych · v2.3.4
An amazing story and wicked dialogue overall a brilliant game
- Richard Boardman · v2.3.4
Excellent narrative! Totally unique concept, I wish there were more games like this. Two thumbs up!
- Nathaniel Lehfeldt · v2.3.4
Man , what a great story I can't wait to try the others . I also want to replay to see the different paths .
