### 5/5 — Spannend geht es weiter

*2026-05-30, version 2.1*

Nachdem ich den ersten Teil durchgespielt habe, auch mit verschiedenen mehr tragisch oder auch guten enden, hab ich jetzt die den zweiten Teil im Visier. Bis jetzt gefällt es mir sehr gut. Allerdings bin ich noch nicht wirklich durch, aber ich hoffe es wird genauso cool wie das andere.

### 2/5 — Insultingly Short

*2026-05-23, version 2.1*

Very short and wraps up before it really gets going. It ends up feeling like a trailer for a game rather than an actual full-length one. This is basically a filler episode.

### 5/5 — One of a kind

*2026-04-30, version 2.1*

Beautiful and capturing game. Worth every minute you play it

### 5/5 — Taylor’s story with a Christmas spin

*2026-04-07, version 2.1*

I love how the developers added this amazing storyline and how it ties into the main game. If you are a player that has not yet played the original, I would highly suggest playing through it in November, then in December or January play this! The soundtrack is so good and eerie, which helps build the tension as you navigate the ship to help Taylor escape. 

I can’t wait to play the next one and the newer one in the series, please, keep making these as I want to learn more about the Greens and the space force that exists in this game. 

5 stars no questions asked.

### 5/5 — ㅁ

*2025-10-23*

재밌어요!!!소설같은 느낌에 내가 선택 할 수 있는 선택지가 있는것도 신박하고 실제의 시간의 흐름이 게임에 반영된것도 신기하고 재밌어요 ᱍᱍᱍᱍᱍᱍᱍᱍ 

1편에는 거북이모드가 있었는데 아직은 2편 초기라 그런지 거북이모드 안보이네오ㅠㅠㅠ시리즈가 어여 한국어버전 지원이 됐으먼 좋겠어요!!!!

### 5/5 — タイラー！！

*2025-10-10, version 2.1*

この数週間でどっぷりはまったシリーズです。
是非これまでのシリーズもプレイしてください。話が繋がってるので面白いですよ。

追記です
久しぶりにタイラーに会いたくなり再ダウンロードしました。
選択肢、どれがベストかなんて忘れているのでまた当時のドキドキ感が味わえました。
やっぱり最高のゲーム！

今でも続編を期待しています。

### 5/5 — Super fun!

*2025-07-14, version 2.1*

Loved it

### 4/5 — A directory would be handy

*2025-06-30, version 2.1*

I played the first one, and it was pretty creepy… or at least I think it was the first. Now I’m playing others and am frustrated that I don't know their logical order. I’m playing two at once now that I’ve lost them.

### 5/5 — Even better than the first!

*2025-06-28, version 2.1*

Silent Night takes everything great about the original Lifeline and dials it up. The stakes are higher, the atmosphere is darker, and Taylor is back — funnier and more relatable than ever. I couldn’t put it down. An amazing sequel that delivers real tension and heart.

### 5/5 — ‘tis the season

*2025-04-29, version 2.1*

I like the continuation of the story and I love the fact that you can make the font bigger and you could also see where he’s at throughout the game so it’s got it labeled for you. It was very enjoyable and I’ve played many times in the series.
