## What is Lifeline+?

The smash hit texting adventure with millions of worldwide fans is now on Arcade – get lost in space with Taylor as you help navigate the deadly universe of 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

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.

You can play Lifeline in any of these languages:
- English
- French
- German
- Russian
- Simplified Chinese
- Japanese
- Spanish
- Korean


“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

### 3/5 — Cool game, annoying bug

*2025-12-10, version 1.1*

Loved this game, but it’s awful that you have to scroll to the newest message instead of having a button to see the latest one. It’s ok when you first start, but scrolling to the bottom when you get further in is unnecessarily annoying.

### 3/5 — Uhh

*2025-12-08, version 1.1*

This game is kinda disturbing. Idk about it. It’s ok I guess

### 1/5 — Wait to long

*2025-12-05, version 1.1*

You have to wait way too long to answer back.

### 5/5 — 非常棒

*2025-12-05, version 1.1*

难怪得分那么高

### 5/5 — Absolutely incredible. Play this NOW before it gets taken off Arcade.

*2025-12-05, version 1.1*

So, so GOOD.

### 2/5 — What’s the Point?

*2025-12-02, version 1.1*

2 hours in and no indication of target nor any idea of progress towards success.

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2025-11-22, version 1.1*

I actually really enjoyed the story because it reminded me of a book I recently read called the martian. It’s also very interesting cause it happens in real time. What i do not like is how i have to choose out of two options to answer, I think it would be MORE interesting if i had more than two options to respond. But SOO GOOD. You should get this game.

### 5/5 — Easy

*2025-11-19, version 1.1*

Entertaining, went back through a few times.

### 5/5 — Explícito

*2025-11-18, version 1.1*

Horror

### 4/5 — Decent

*2025-11-16, version 1.1*

Fun. Creative. More of an interactive/ choose your own story type of game.
