About this game

*** The original Lifeline was the top paid game in 76 countries *** Loved by millions *** Google Play Editors' Choice ***

After a lengthy radio silence, Taylor returns at last! This brand new adventure finds the hapless astronaut on the other side of a black hole, relying on you alone to help make life-or-death decisions in a playable, branching story of survival in the depths of unknown space.

But this time, there’s a twist: Players can also choose to communicate with T2, Taylor’s time-warped, alien-infected “evil twin,” helping or hindering as they see fit. Throughout the story, seemingly simple decisions can have profound effects. Make choices using your Phone or Watch, and face the consequences alongside the desperate astronauts.

Writer Dave Justus (Fables: The Wolf Among Us) returns to pen this fourth Taylor adventure -- the seventh overall in the acclaimed, multi-million-selling Green Series. Whether this is your first interaction with Taylor, or you’ve been a diehard fan from the beginning, you’ll discover a deep, immersive story of survival and perseverance, with many possible outcomes.

The original Lifeline took the App Store by storm -- reaching #1 Top Paid Game in 29 countries -- while pioneering a new narrative experience enabled by modern devices. This story plays out in real time as the astronauts work to stay alive, with notifications delivering 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 discover what happens when you make a different choice. Complete any single path to restart the story and unlock this mode.

The story contains no in-app purchases and no ads. An internet connection is not required.

Supports Wear OS!

Praise for the original 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

“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

So long, space cowboy (s)! I'm so glad, after all this time, we get to see Taylor's story once more! After finishing the game, I have to say, absolutely loved it. Probably one of my favorite Taylor entries. The story hooks you, and the long down times leave you wondering if you made the right choices. Only criticism is that it felt a little short, and some of the down time felt unnecessarily long. Other than that, I'm absolutely excited to see what else y'all do with the lifeline universe :]

I'm a huge fan of these games & have played most of them more than once because the adventures I've gone on with Taylor etc are always exciting and heartfelt. The narrative in this one felt a bit rushed & I noticed some bugs in dialogue (getting the same dialogue for both scenarios despite not making sense) and some choices I felt would come back up later never had consequences, Ex: Taylor not getting anything to eat at the start and then not taking advantage of the fruit & veg in the garden pod

I don't often leave reviews for apps, but I had to for this one. I was in college when I started my journey with Taylor, and I've been hoping for a continuation for a long time. It was so nice to be brought back into this universe (or a parallel universe...?) for a bit. The game made me laugh, it made me cry (and no, I'm not exaggerating, I bawled like a baby lol), & although there were some choices that felt like they didn't have much impact, I'd still say it's overall well deserving of 5 stars
