3 Minute Games, Inc.

About this game

Lifeline is a playable, branching story of survival against all odds. You will help Taylor make life or death decisions, and face the consequences together.

Acclaimed writer Dave Justus (Fables: The Wolf Among Us) weaves a gripping interactive story through the aftermath of a crash landing on an alien moon. Taylor is stranded, the rest of the crew are dead or missing, and Taylor’s communicator can only reach you.

Lifeline pioneered a new narrative experience enabled by modern devices. This story plays out in real time as Taylor works to stay alive, notifications deliver 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 see what happens when you make a different choice. Simple actions can have a profound effect. Complete any single path to restart the story and unlock this mode.

Lifeline is a deep, immersive story of survival and perseverance, with many possible outcomes. Taylor is relying on YOU.

Praise for 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

Ratings and reviews

Phenomenal. I played this years ago on a different phone, and just re-downloaded it to experience this awesome horror story again. The time gating can be a little annoying to some, but it makes it a little bit more personal and heavy in the second half. Haven't checked out their other works yet, but here's to hoping the other options are phenomenal as well!

EDIT:: just finished a replay after all these years, and I had just as much fun this time as I did the first time. I'm excited to play these games all over again ❤️ It is so easy to believe you are talking to a real person in real time; this is a whole new level of immersive! Truly a unique and incredible app that feels like a crazy experience! I felt a connection with the person on the other end instantly. Would highly recommend !!

If you want a modern "Choose your own adventure game", then this is the game for you. I enjoyed every moment! The story was mysterious, suspenseful, and emotional. You find yourself worrying about the main character Taylor, and really wanting to help. An amazing and engaging story! I will continue to follow the Lifeline series and I hope they continue to make more amazing stories
