Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Played it over a decade ago and randomly thought of this game. We wish we had access to chapter 2 of this game.
The last transmission, (no spoilers here) really feels satisfying. The contact feels immersive and Im looking forward to another installment if there will be one.
The best game Ive ever played in our life. We love it.
From meeting the main character to the dialogue and story telling its a fantastic game. Kept us engaged and glued to our phone for the past few days. The end left us very sad and really wanting a second part. Will be replaying the game in the future :).
This is a really neat game. While it has some language, its still fascinating and entertaining. Ive killed Adams multiple times (on accident, of course) but as soon as we finished it, we felt really accomplished. We highly recommend this game.
This was one of the first choice games we downloaded and it was phenomenal, this game is just so good and will always be a favorite.
After playing this game for a few minutes we were hook the story was fascinating the characters were amazing we love how the Adams actually made you feel like you were there this was an amazing game experience we hope to play more of your games when we get the chance Sincerely, Kadyn.
We wasn't sure how this kind of games could be fun till we played ourselves and we have to say now we can't stop playing! Our compliments to the creative developers! Totally worth it :)).
We fell in live with the franchise with their original Lifeline game, loving the sci-fi aspects and the nostalgia of an old Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book. The outcomes for each of the options are unpredictable, leading a driving story with twists and turns. The real-time waiting between transmissions makes a more immersive experience.
This is the first game that we actually payed for and loved. The entire story plot just kept reeling us in. We felt like we were reading a book. We also like the fact it took us a couple days to complete the entire game, because we had to rewind a couple times. We also like the fact that the game has so many twists and turns and if you pick the wrong choice youre dead. Definitely will be getting the other lifeline games.
This is hands down one of the best games Ive ever played. Like ever. This game actually compels real emotion and fear. We RARLEY rate and have never write a review but this is just too worthy not too. Cannot recommend enough.
We have gone through this installment a couple times, now. This installment was great! Keep up the great work.
This game is amazing! Its suspenseful and you really get invested in it. Highly recommend.
The main character, Adams seems to be almost real. The storyline is great, and we wish the developers would write a book. Great game, would play again.
Ive always seen ads for things like this (like yarn) but we really liked this one because you get to choose your ending. We also like the future predictions. We believe that this is going to happen in the future. Possibly the near one. It is cool to think about the singularity (where AI and machines surpass human intelligence) and how it may never happen.
We loved how it grabs you in and feel whats going on. For you and the characters! Would definitely highly recommend.
We loved this game so much and we cant wait for the sequel to be released.
Im not sure we paid for this game because we downloaded it a long time ago and we wasnt able to read English at all. But since we can (ish..), we finally finished Whiteout and It was pretty good experience. And im also surprised we can get pretty terrified and depressed by texts . Good work.
This is our third choose-your-adventure game from them and its been our favorite. We got emotionally attached to the characters and really enjoyed the story. We highly recommend it.
the app. Such an awesome idea to have battery saving text adventure RPG on something like an Apple watch! Request: please add support for the Apple watch to play the game without the phone! Then you can play without phone, and enjoy with our phone powered off. Thanks.
This game was amazing, we totally recommend it, it has so many twists and turns, unexpected events, and a perfect storyline. We got angry, sad, happy, we felt like we were there with Adams, we were able to visualize everything that happened, we felt like we were actually talking to a real person. This game is perfect for people who like being placed in different situations, good or bad, and to the developers, you have made a game that we can tell you gave your heart and soul in every detail, thank you.
We get whiteout for our birthday and, we love it. Now we cant get the other ones because its money and Im not allowed.
The whole concept of mystery is amazing and you get a dog! It escalates very quickly with multiple endings (or deaths!) for you to get and it goes from survival to body-swapping in a snap! This Game is one of our favorites of all time.
Problem-not showing up on our watch.
Hi our name is Daniel and ever since you came out with the first lifeline it has been our favorite game we have ever played and the various sequels do not fail to disappoint. We have signed up for your email list and everything and it would mean the world to us if you all could please make another game we really enjoy them and it has been a while since we have last played one. Thank you for reading this and we hope to get an email from your team soon about an upcoming lifeline game.
This is possibly the best story line that we have ever seen, it is involving, and you can change it with your own actions. The game itself is simplistic, but making decisions becomes very difficult over time. We love this game, it is very interesting, and makes you want to continue playing. We love story lines, and this one is one of our favorites. We have played some of the other games, and they FANTASTIC! We highly recommend this game, and all of the other LifeLine games. All in all, this is one of our favorite games, and it deserves 10 stars.
When we got this game we just thought it would be some small story about some guy who was stranded in the arctic or something but the more we played the game the more we realized its so much more than that, this game is a work of art and creativity and we really want to see another game about Adams just to see what happens next and we cant wait for anymore games to come out. So to the creators and the devs of this game keep doing whatever youre doing cause this game was a very big hit with us.
Best app ever we bearly made it off the game to say looooovvve it.
These story, decision based games are super cool and the fact it is compatible with Apple Watch allows you to enjoy it without having to pull your phone out of your pocket. It was really cool developing an almost real life feeling with the character. Good luck Adam.
Needless to say, we have loved this game. We played mostly on the Apple Watch adaptation so we were able to use it on the go. It made all of the Story events feel meaningful, used different colors of dialogue to distinguish between characters and the story driven elements were fantastic, keeping us hooked all the through. We are excited for more lifeline games in the future.
This game is so fun. It introduces real world situations, reading, and choice making. We sincerely enjoy the game while we are half way through it, and would suggest it to all of the people we know. Although it takes long for Adams to do things, it it worth the 10-20 minute wait. This is the best game on our Apple Watch and iPhone.
Cant play on our Apple Watch. Wont go past loading screen no matter what we try. Tried to contact app support but wont let us submit because we cant find our in game id.
This is the first review Ive ever written. And its long over due. Years ago we purchased Lifeline and it remains to this day an app outstanding in our mind. We have downloaded so many apps for entertainment over the years that few rarely stick in our head. Lifeline is a breed of its own. Every single production since has been just as wonderful as the first. We would honestly pay more for this app but we are very happy that its cost is more than justified considering the pay off you will get. You develop a kind of weird relationship with the characters in these games. Has an app ever made you cry? Ever made you ecstatic for a character overcoming a hurdle? Welcome to Lifeline. Basically, you easily become emotionally invested while also enjoying yourself. We have tried sooooo many games similar to this (now) franchise since and theres just none that compare. At all.
Ive played these games in the past, but Ive never played one so attaching and in depth as this one. This plot is amazing. We felt like we actually knew Adams while playing this, and we miss him already. We teared up at the ending- we didnt want the adventure to end. Took us around 3 days to finish, not a short story by any means. We just hope we can see Adams again, and his adorable dog, blue. We hope his feeling was right. Adams out.
It was amazing the end and everything we rated it 5 stars u should to.
We really wasnt expecting too much but we ended up enjoying this game more than we expected. We were an interesting way to tell a story through a single character. We love that you can walk away and pick up where you left off when the character is busy. We would purchase another like this one again.
We loved WhiteOut! Its the first game Ive played in the series. We had problems with it in the beginning, where it locked up after playing about 10 minutes. So we deleted it from our phone and then reloaded the game. Second time around we had absolutely no problems and thoroughly enjoyed playing it all the way through! We have already downloaded A second game in the series and Im looking forward to playing it as well! We hope to meet up with Adams in another game soon.

Well we love the game very much keep making more of these we think its fun and its very interesting its something new and like we said at the beginning we really like it thanks guys you just sent us on a very terrific journey sincerely Jessica Hasty.
Love love love this game! Why arent there more like this.
Very unique we feel like Im actually texting someone in a bad situation. Our coworkers are even asking whats going on now. Try it out we havent played anything like this.
We really love the game you guys are making and hope that you continue to make them. We really hope that you guys release the whiteout 2 soon.
This was a fantastic, simple game that made you think. Even though there are no graphics or special animation, the story was suspenseful and it pulled at your heart strings. If Adams was really out there, we would not hesitate to help him. Thanks for this amazing game.
Lifeline:Whiteout took an approach Ive never personally seen in games. It was very fun guiding Adams through the story. Every choice you make either has a positive or negative effect, some that end the game even. But the fact that you could go back and edit choices kept us from being too upset about slip-ups. We LOVED that time actually had to pass between events, it made it almost feel real! And though it was finished in 3 days, we felt bittersweet at the end. We could definitely play another game. We also LOVE THAT IT WAS FREE. Its hard to find a story that you just enjoy and play, no ads! Id pay for future ones though, gladly.
This game is really good! When we were playing it we felt like we were talking to a real person, It was like he was real. But we wish all of the other lifeline games would be free. Now we want to keep in touch with him even though hes not real… But otherwise its Awesome it Bring us into a different world!!!! Hopefully you make a free one soon thanks.
Amazingly written. By then end we were longing for more time with Adams. The storyline is smooth and very immersive you almost feel like your actually talking to someone on the end of the line.
This game is honestly the greatest game Ive ever played. We bought the 4-game pack and am super impressed with each and every game. We cannot believe the depth and storyline in these games. We love the way that your choices shape the game. 5/5 Stars without a doubt.
This was a very different game. Great storytelling; made us form a bond with the Adams character and made us feel for him.
Every story you made are a masterpiece cant wait to get all of them.
Ive played all the lifeline games, and so far, this might be our favorite. You really care about the main character, and you come to grow and learn just as much as the protagonist does through each choice and decision you help them make.
