Lifeline

game5/5

Buy it.

What I said.

  1. A new take on choose-your-own-adventure: a distress signal from astronaut Taylor, and you make the calls.
  2. It actually makes you care about the character.
  3. The first playthrough happens in real time. Taylor goes to sleep, then a push notification wakes you up hours later.
  4. Haunting music, great sound, and you can reply from the lock screen.
  5. After one ending you can rewind to any decision, restart, or turn on fast mode so you are not waiting four hours for a Mars hike.
  6. Some arcs end badly. Some do not. Buy it.
