Description of App
Lifeline Series ** Top Paid Game in 55 countries ** App Store Editors' Choice ** Millions of players love Lifeline **
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 iPhone, iPad, or Apple 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 on iPhone and Apple Watch 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. You can even respond to Taylor or T2 directly from your Apple Watch or your iPhone lock screen, without launching into the app.
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.
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

Comments
oh man, I haven't played these games in...
I haven't played these games in a long time, but really enjoyed the series so far, so I got this third game. Only... I don't remember the exact order of the series, was it lifeline, lifeline, silent night, and now lifeline, beside you in time? Is that the right order to play them in?
Game Order
The Taylor stories should be played in the following order:
Lifeline
Silent Night
Halfway to Infinity
Beside You in Time
Flatline, Crisis Line, and Lifeline2 take place in the same universe and involve the same antagonist, but they contain different characters. I hope the series is truly back, because I've been disappointed since 2016 when I thought everything was abandoned. This game has been available since June, but I discovered it just now.
I haven't heard of this seeries, I'm excited to play the games.

rewinding the story
Hello lovely people,
I hope this finds you all doing well.
So I'm struggling a bit with this app. Whenever a path comes to an end, I have the choice to rewind. however, the only option it wants to give me is the beginning.
I kind of don't want to play the story all the way from the beginning.
Are there any tips?
Since the app says I can go back to any particular point in time or decision, but all I see is the from the beginning button.
Thank you so much!!!
series order
Hello all, sorry for the double post.
Quick question, are the other games in this series besides this one playable as well?
I thought it was just this one that was accessible.
Answers
As I stated previously, all games except Whiteout are usable with VoiceOver. If you want to rewind the story, locate a choice and next to it should be an unlabeled button. Choose this button and confirm you want to rewind to the point before that choice was made.
no buttons?
Hello, thank you so much for your reply!
So there are no buttons, unalbeled or otherwise. I just see the one, that says, "start from the beginning."
That button is labeled, but there are no other options.
Buttons
That's not the right screen. Find them in the main story screen. You may need to close the app and open it again if you're unable to exit that screen.
