## Lifeline Description
The original Lifeline took the App Store by storm, reaching #1 Top Paid Game on iPhone and Apple Watch in 55 countries. Its compelling mix of real-time storytelling and Dave Justus’s suspenseful writing continues to capture the imaginations of countless players worldwide. 

Lifeline: Bloodline raises the bar with a new story almost twice as long as the original, with many more choices and paths to explore.

The second story in the Lifeline series connects you with Arika, a young woman on a deadly quest to avenge her parents and rescue her long-lost brother. Your choices will keep her alive and help her succeed as she faces mortal danger on her way to a final, fateful showdown against the forces that threaten all of humanity.

Lifeline stories play out in real time. As Arika travels to complete her quest, notifications deliver new messages throughout your day. Keep up as they come in, or catch up later when you’re free. You can even respond to Arika directly from your Apple Watch or your iPhone lock screen, without launching into the app on your phone.

After completing any story branch, you can rewind to earlier parts of the story, or speed through parts you’ve already read. See what happens when you make a different choice: will you guide Arika virtuously, or cut corners to gain an edge? Seemingly simple actions can deeply affect the outcome. 

Arika’s story, and the fate of the world, depend on your judgment. You will face the consequences together, because Arika is relying on YOU. 


Lifeline: Bloodline features no in-app purchases and no ads. An Internet connection is not required.

Praise for the original Lifeline:

“[A] surprising iPhone and Apple Watch bestseller is pushing the boundaries of fiction” - boingboing.net

“This is the best game on the Apple Watch” - Time.com

“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

“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

## Lifeline Reviews in United States

### ***** "Love the game, however with the last update..."
Hello, I really enjoy this game and haven’t finished it yet, but I would like to. I finished a couple of endings, however, with the latest update, the music doesn’t seem to be working. I will turn it on and it will stay on until I make a choice and once I make that choice, the music will turn off, and I will have to go back into the menu and turn it back on. It gets kind of tedious if you can fix this, that would be amazing. Thank you in advance.
-- Audio game lover, 2025-08-13

### ***** "Great character"
The character is very likable.
-- Stinkdamp, 2024-11-09

### ***** "One of the best"
Definitely one of my favorite Lifeline games! Arika is a fun, quippy character much like (but distinct from) Taylor, and the storyline has some genuinely interesting conflicts. The UI is great, much better than Flatline’s, and the wait times weren’t too egregious.

There’s plenty of content here to read— I highly recommend giving this game a spin!
-- Celestialcadence, 2024-09-16

### **--- "Lacks good storytelling and choices"
The writer is full of low brow sarcasm. Almost everything said is some attempt at wit and humor but falls terribly short. The mass amounts of pop culture reference and sarcastic replies really drags it down. Many of the choices are a result of random exclamations that don't describe what's going on until you select between 'What's wrong' or 'Everything ok?' Take out the useless choices and there isn't much substance here. Quite an annoying read.
-- EpikOne, 2024-07-10

### ***-- "It's okay"
A lot of choices didn't matter. Lifeline 1 was the best in the series in my opinion. Like another similar phone interactive game series, Simulacra, the first one has all the charm and the most coherent writing which then falls by the wayside for the rest of the series. But it wasn't all that bad. The time loop part was just annoying though.
-- BruhBruhBruhRubRubRub, 2024-05-21

### ***** "Awesome games"
You can never go wrong with Lifeline games.
-- choirheart, 2023-12-31

### ***** "I want another!"
Hi, will you make another game continuing this storyline or another choose your own path story game with magical ideas involved? I’ve only played the original lifeline and this game. This story was way more engaging in my opinion. I’m down to help you write it if you want, but I’d like another if you’re willing to make one.
-- Is this nickname ok Apple?, 2022-10-02

### ***** "Excellent!"
The Lifeline series is by far my favorite text adventure series. I would definitely love to see more games soon. Maybe a continuation of Taylor or Arika’s story.
-- Admatos74, 2022-05-03

### ***** "Love it"
Its as great as i remember however the part on apple watch where you put your name in it crashes and rewinds the story a bit 😔
-- Rinphiron, 2021-09-22

### ***** "Best Text Driven Game on the App Store!"
I have played this game a couple of times and this past time was the first time I actually succeeded and reached the end. It was a wild ride and an incredible story that just pulls you in like nothing else. I found myself actually worried about Arika as if I was actually magically connected with another person, and the game left me constantly thinking about it. It felt real and it felt powerful, with a great story to match and good choices for how to react, if you enjoy choice driven games, this is the game for you.
