Evaluation

Lifeline is no longer available for purchase on Steam. The developer announced on April 28, 2021 that the game would be removed from Steam, as publisher Big Fish Games was transferring the title back to the original developer, 3 Minute Games. The game has since been delisted — there are no purchase options available on Steam. The game itself is a complete, self-contained interactive story that originally launched on March 16, 2017, and no further content for the Steam version was announced before its removal.

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.

A totally unique experience, 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.
