About this game

*** The original Lifeline was the top paid game in 76 countries *** Loved by millions *** Google Play Editors' Choice ***

After a lengthy radio silence, Taylor returns at last! This brand new adventure finds the hapless astronaut on the other side of a black hole, relying on you alone to help make life-or-death decisions in a playable, branching story of survival in the depths of unknown space.

But this time, there’s a twist: Players can also choose to communicate with T2, Taylor’s time-warped, alien-infected “evil twin,” helping or hindering as they see fit. Throughout the story, seemingly simple decisions can have profound effects. Make choices using your Phone or Watch, and face the consequences alongside the desperate astronauts.

Writer Dave Justus (Fables: The Wolf Among Us) returns to pen this fourth Taylor adventure -- the seventh overall in the acclaimed, multi-million-selling Green Series. Whether this is your first interaction with Taylor, or you’ve been a diehard fan from the beginning, you’ll discover a deep, immersive story of survival and perseverance, with many possible outcomes.

The original Lifeline took the App Store by storm -- reaching #1 Top Paid Game in 29 countries -- while pioneering a new narrative experience enabled by modern devices. This story plays out in real time as the astronauts work to stay alive, with notifications delivering 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 discover what happens when you make a different choice. Complete any single path to restart the story and unlock this mode.

The story contains no in-app purchases and no ads. An internet connection is not required.

Supports Wear OS!

Praise for the original 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

I always give these games a 5 star rating as I have loved these things for over 7 years. If you've played the others you know exactly what to expect. Problem is it's been so long since I played the last part i can't remember what's going on or how it ended. And I died more times in the opening section of the game then I've died in all the other lifelines combined. Which shows it has a good challenge. If you've played the others and enjoyed them then buy this and catch up with Taylor.

Great on Watch, and you don't need the phone app at the same time, but it syncs if you use both. Would be better if the text was optimized for a round watch, but not all watches are around so I guess that's good! I can't write this review under the watch section, it won't let me. But either way it's a great game, phone or watch. Fun to play when you're in the waiting room.

A fun little adventure, complete in about 2-3 days. It did feel a little shorter than some of the previous versions, which for the rather steep price point seems a little bit too short. The story develops well, although some decisions dont seem to matter as much as others: Spoiler**: Telling T2 to not mind meld with the other green doesn't seem to actually matter, as T2 does it anyway to help carry stuff. 3.5 stars is the rating I would give here, but 4 for the nostalgia.
