### 5/5 — I own this game a 5-star review

*2026-05-07, version 1.0.4*

It was so many years ago that I played this game. But till this day I still remember the feeling it brought me. Never rated any app, just thought I should leave a rate today.

### 4/5 — Сделайте перерыв когда Адамс занят меньше , это игра или что ?

### 5/5 — 入り込みました

新しい体験でした。
本当に存在する気がして終わった後の喪失感と会話したい欲がすごかったです笑

### 4/5 — Different but still fun

*2025-05-30, version 1.0.4*

If you’re a fan of the original lifelines, this is a new kind of story with a whole new kind of twist and I’ve killed him a bunch of times before I was able to get to a happy ending, but it’s fun. Definitely something I’ll play again later.

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-03-25, version 1.0.4*

Played it over a decade ago and randomly thought of this game. I wish we had access to chapter 2 of this game.

С удовольствием покупаю и играю во все игры этих разработчиков. Это лучшие текстовые квесты, в которые я играла. Спасибо

### 5/5 — Im glad I kept replaying to get the ending I wanted.

*2024-05-31, version 1.0.4*

The last transmission, (no spoilers here) really feels satisfying. The “contact” feels immersive and I’m looking forward to another installment if there will be one.
