### 4/5 — My childhood is back

*2025-03-01*

I played the trilogy as a kid and is so glad they brought the original writer back to do another game. I like how this one ended on a somewhat more positive note than the last one and the fact that it featured T2 as part of the team. Overall I still preferred the last game’s UI more than this one, really wish they kept the pfp feature for different people talking. The game definitely still sound and feel like the original trilogy although the story is a bit flawed at times and the system sometimes forgets certain decisions I’ve made it’s acceptable. It was still very fun. The only complaint I have is that my choices don’t seem to make as much difference as they used to in the last three games, and HelpBot is just Glados but annoying. Still, loved the game. Loved T2.

### 5/5 — I miss Taylor

### 4/5 — Some inconsistencies

*2024-05-02*

So… I’m a big fan of lifeline and and was impatient for the next release but I have mixed feelings. I haven’t finished it yet…
First I feel there’s a lot more talk that to me doesn’t help build a connection, kind of distracting I feel, but that’s personal.
And then there’s inconsistencies in the storyline. I said not to take something and then a few paragraphs later he’s carrying it, and then I’m asked about something that was not encountered before. So a bit frustrating…

But the way the story is set up makes for new and interesting conversation dynamics.

### 4/5 — 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

*2024-04-17*

In French 🙏😁

### 5/5 — ♥️Taylor4life

### 5/5 — Took a bit but great second half

*2024-02-16*

Honestly I almost quit the game because it was really hard to figure out who was who and who was talking. But once the first half was over it picked up. You can never beat the original but that’s not your fault.

### 1/5 — Japanese

*2025-10-16*

流石に遅すぎる、、、

### 1/5 — Pas de français

*2024-05-15*

Pas de français

### 1/5 — Nach fast 2 Jahren immer noch nur auf Englisch

*2024-02-19*

Mittlerweile immer nur noch auf Englisch,auf Nachfragen kommen keine Antworten,daher auch nur 1 Stern!

### 1/5 — Duuuuuulllllllll

*2023-10-07*

Extremely dull

### 2/5 — Pas de Français

*2026-06-09*

Ça fait plusieurs années que j’ai le jeu installé dans l’espoir qu’ils sortent une mise à jour permettant de jouer en français et continuer l’aventure avec Taylor, mais je commence à désespérer..

### 2/5 — Choice errors

*2024-08-14*

While I absolutely love this series, the latest game has several bugs related to choices. I’m pretty early in the game and already noticed multiple choices being treated as though I made the other choice instead. Considering it is choose your own adventure, this bug breaks both immersion and the game itself.

### 2/5 — Poor writing

*2024-02-24*

I like the concept, but there needs to be better writing. There’s very little actual choice, and few of the choices were things I would have really said. The writer was trying too hard to be funny, but the result was dialogue that sounded like AI-written Marvel content. The d ending madd no logical sense, and the characters made dumb choices (and you usually had no choice to do a smart thing).

### 2/5 — For me unplayable…

*2023-12-17*

My English is not that bad but I can not play this game because it is so hard to understand important little things to solve problems. But really worth is if you are perfect fluent in English. Hope a German translation is planned.

### 2/5 — Локализация

*2023-02-02*

Игре уже год, а обещанного перевода на русский язык все нет и нет. Купил игру в первый день после выхода в надежде на скорую локализацию и начинаю жалеть.

### 3/5 — RUSSIA!

*2025-08-16, version 1.1.2*

I spent money and time to buy this game, but it doesn't have Russian language. Please add Russian language, be human :)

### 5/5 — Toujours aussi excellent

*2025-11-04*

Hâte de jouer au prochain

### 5/5 — THE BEST GAME ON ✨EARTH✨ (or in the alternate universe idk)

*2025-08-02*

Three minute games is actually the best game company I have ever seen. There are so many paths you can choose. Its awesome. I can’t believe it but at the end I actually felt like Taylor was there. Telling me that I was her friend. AND NO OTHER GAME HAS DONE THAT SO GREAT JOB THREE MINUTE GAMES.

### 5/5 — Happy for Taylor

*2025-05-04*

This is the last part of his story and it’s interesting because you could be a lifeline to him and too T2 there is lots of ways. This can go wrong and lots of ways. This can go right I’ve played this particular version a few times. I just wish they had a version where he can go back through the black hole to his universe and help out Maria but all in all a good close to his story

### 5/5 — Story amazin

*2025-05-03*

Honestly this should be a genre of game, from the storymaker of wolf amongst us, this is expected

### 5/5 — Hooked on Lifeline

*2025-04-27*

I started playing Lifeline+ as part of Apple Arcade and am totally hooked. I always enjoyed the choose your own adventure books as a kid and this is like that on steroids. The storytelling is really compelling and you can really get attached to Taylor and T2. I’ve never paid for games on here before but am happy to shell out a little—like paying for short stories. Hope there’s another one soon!

### 5/5 — I’d die for this astronaut

*2025-02-16, version 1.1.2*

Play the other games first!!!!
I’ve grown to love Taylor over the course of these games. I hope you do too!

### 5/5 — OK WOW

*2025-02-03*

I’ve put off playing this for a while cuz I had to emotionally recover from the last three but boy did this one make my cry I’ve never cried over a game before but this was still my favorite one in the series⬛️🔫

### 5/5 — Amazing story

*2025-01-23, version 1.1.2*

Such a great story that I need more of. I miss Taylor :(

### 5/5 — 久しぶりのタイラー

*2025-01-18*

すごく感動しました
ありがとうございました
続編期待してます

### 5/5 — Can we please get a new game?

*2024-12-20*

These series of games are riveting and I find myself checking back to see if a new one will be released. Can’t wait.
