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
“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

8 of 15Although this may be a phone application game, that is the last thing it feels like. You play a Crisis Line listener. Alex is the main character you talk to; he’s a police detective that takes you on the case he’s currently working. I’ve found myself emotionally invested in his story, as well as the actions and decisions he makes. The only problem I have with the game is that I wish there were more options for things to say back to Alex. Nonetheless, I always find myself just checking my phone waiting for his reply. It feels like you’re actually talking to this person. It will definitely leave you on the edge of your seat if you’re someone like me, interested in crime/the paranormal.
Thank you to the creators of this adventure.
Was really enjoying this game until it reset to the beginning of the story randomly. Frustrated - not clicking through all that again.
I’ve not finished the game but for a choose your own adventure game, this is the best I’ve ever gone through. In many ways have I found myself empathizing with Alex, wanting badly to solve this problem. But all I can say currently? ....[im sorry] [sorry] [sorry] [sorry] .…………..........[Alex is sorry]
I love this game so much it’s so much fun!! This is the exact game I think is worth the cost!! The story line is amazing. Is there any chance there is a hint thing or a cheat vid if your stuck because i can’t get passed the Person corporation without him dying or being hypnotized!! Anyways like i said before I love this game those looking to download it definitely should, see if you are smarter than I am😂😂
Content was OK fun at first but no matter how many times you change the story and your answers the game in the same way only one scenario comes with it cannot download any more,would not waste my money
Sometimes the options it gives you are super limiting and frustraing and the path ends for seemingly no reason. The other annoying thing is that there aren’t any remotely halpy endings. I have played every single lifeline in the series and it always ends terrible, which makes the player feel like it was all a waste of time. Still, I give it three stars for being interesting and spooky.
Only one story. They need to add a lot more. It’s fun but not long enough.
