Report an issueThe 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: Bloodline was created by: Dave Justus Matthew Sturges Colin Liotta Dan Selleck Mars Jokela Benjamin Ellebracht
Original music composed by Norman Fairbanks.

8 of 15Glitchy on my 12 Pro Max and Apple Watch. The app sent an alert to my watch, but when I opened it, it reset the game to the beginning. When the character asks what my name is on my watch, the game closes each time I try to enter it. When I went back to the app on my phone to see if it was where I originally left off, it reset to the beginning again 😩😩
The character is very likable.
The game crashes on my watch when I try to enter my name. I have tried updating both the phone, watch, and game, but nothing I do seems to fix the issue.
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.
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.
You can never go wrong with Lifeline games.
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.
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 😔
