About Lifeline

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

What Lifeline Is Used For

Lifeline is a phone-based adventure game centered on interactive survival storytelling. Based on the metadata, it appears to be used for reading and responding to a branching narrative where you help Taylor make decisions after a crash landing on an alien moon. The experience is designed around choice, consequences, and replaying different paths to see alternate outcomes.

The app also seems built for real-time play, since new messages can arrive through notifications as the story progresses. That makes it a fit for short check-ins throughout the day rather than only one long session. Support for Wear OS suggests it may also be used in a more glanceable, wearable-friendly way, while the included internet permission points to online connectivity for the interactive story flow. The presence of storage and account-related permissions may reflect saving progress or supporting app services, though the metadata does not spell out each technical use directly.

Common uses

  • Play an interactive sci-fi survival story on a phone
  • Make choices that influence Taylor’s progress and ending

  • Use the app for short story sessions during the day
  • Read and respond to narrative updates on Wear OS devices
  • Access the game with multiple language options listed in the metadata
