What Makes Lifeline: Silent Night Stand Out
The hearts and imaginations of countless players worldwide were captured when the original Lifeline took the App Store by storm and became the #1 Top Paid Game, and now Taylor needs your help again in Lifeline: Silent Night!
Acclaimed author Dave Justus returns with a suspenseful new story that plays out in real time, delivering notifications throughout your day. Keep up as they come in, or catch up later when you’re free. You can even respond to Taylor directly from your Apple Watch or iPhone lock screen without launching into the app. Your choices shape the story as you play.
Simple actions can have a profound effect. Complete any single path in the game and then go back and see what happens when you make a different choice.
Lifeline: Silent Night is a deep, immersive story of survival and perseverance, and it’s up to you to save the White Star before it’s too late for its intrepid crew. The fate of Taylor, and the world, is in your hands!
Praise for Lifeline:
“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
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We like the continuation of the story and we love the fact that you can make the font bigger and you could also see where hes at throughout the game so its got it labeled for you. It was very enjoyable and Ive played many times in the series.
These games are amazing. Their gripping theyre funny theyre touching. You will go through quite a bit of different emotions. Theyre absolutely worth the money. Any science fiction fan this is a must to play.
Really enjoyed the game. Keep them coming.
Played through first one, was amazing, played this one, was even better. Did everything right right, up until the very last choice where we messed up and got the worst ending. Back up to just that choice on a gamble and turns out thats the best possible ending, so pog we guess. Not a lot of explanation for the end, but leaves a lot of room for a sequel. Maybe book. Who knows. Either way, hype game, its cheap, worth the time.
We played the first one, and it was pretty creepy or at least we think it was the first. Now Im playing others and am frustrated that we don't know their logical order. Im playing two at once now that Ive lost them.
We can only imagine how difficult writing choose your adventure games can be given you have to account for so much. But whereas Lifeline and Lifeline 2 account for it very well, this game does not. We've played it before a long time ago, and having done things a little differently than that play through we're noticing that you can miss and entire chunk of the game that gives meaningful story details. Now, this would be okay if the rest of the game reflected that you missed it, but this game does not. At a certain point near the end of the story the characters act like that chunk of the story happened even though in our play through this time around did not. It gets very confusing and is rather bothersome.
We love Taylor. Thats it. Thats the review.
We feel like this one was much harder than the last one but we still loved every second of it.
SPOILERS! Spoilers .. Ok, so at towards the beginning of the story we noticed that after Taylor and we agreed to go to the cockpit, in the next conversation, one choice says keep heading to the ready room even though we never talked about that.
This is the second game in the series. Im drawn to it! We care about Taylor and am kinda stressed when we dont immediately hear from (her/him?). Really great game and series.
The legendary story of Taylor continues and its quite as good as the first one. A must buy.
Love Taylors adventures and this one was beautifully written.
We recommend if you played lifeline before.
Thanks for making us cry after getting deeply connected to Taylor. Just, everything that happens. We almost ed started crying sooner but the end just really hit us. They feel like a real person when youre taking to them and you get connected and it just makes everything so much more impactful.
We played the first lifeline and of course, as lifeline players do, had to download the sequel. BUT WHERE IS THE FAST MODE??? This one is just painfully slow to play through because 20% of the game is taylors dialogue, the other is just WAITING for her to do SOMETHING. We cant do it anymore.
Alright, so we just finished this one right after winning the first game. Much to our great relief, Taylor remembered us from the first game and made us rly happyyyy! It was such a good plot! The only reason we didnt rate 5 stars was cause we wish it was longer. We wish there were multiple days involvedbut would totallly say worth the money.
We enjoyed this game. Taylor is our hero.
We enjoyed the writing and flow of the game like reconnecting with an old friend from the first one.
We literally started crying its one of our favorite games and we loved Taylor as a character and everything in general.
Had fun, made it through on our first time so we suspected that there was only one outcome but played it again and made different choices and lost. Cool game.
We finished in 3 days. Its so fun and has great cliffhangers that leave you on the edge of your seat! Though its a bit violent it truly fascinated us and we really enjoyed this one and the first one! Cant wait to move on to the next.
Im only about an hour into the game and it is already the best game on our phone.
This is really good game it doesnt go fast the first time you play it so you might be impatient about how long it takes but its worth it.
We played the first Lifeline game and really liked the main character, Taylor. We appreciated the pop culture references and only had to look up one. The game is written in a way that feels like real banter between friends. It captivated us. We admit we had to go back for a second round to get to the best possible outcome. We loved the ability to fast track the game the second time we played. Great game that captures your attention and keeps it throughout.
Best game Ive played in a while, make that ever.
Hey Im a little late rip some money on our last iPhone but ehh, the storyline continues very interesting follow up because like the last one it could go anywhere it wants.. The story that is another thing. Im just gonna stay in our uncomfortable bunk… And be uncomfortable [Taylor is uncomfortable] man we laughed so hard.
We have played this game six or seven times, and we never get tired of it. No matter how many times we play it, we fall in love with Taylors character and the story all over again. As with all the Lifeline stories10/10.
Its Good we Have Not Finished it But we like it just as we liked the other lifelines.
We swear, the more we play this game and other lifelines, the more we think that this world and universe is real. Thats how good the storytelling is. We need more Taylor stories. We need more lifeline. Of all the lifeline games, Taylor touches us the most.
We really love these lifeline stories. They seem so real and are packed with conflict and emotions. Our only drawback is waiting for Taylor to do things gets a little tedious but that is just our opinion. Besides, the fast mode that comes after Taylor dies is a great way to try all the different endings to the story. Good job.
The original Lifeline was amazing and when we found out there was even more, we were so excited. These games can really give you an aspect of what possible life forms that could be on-other planets. Silent Night and the others really let us enjoy listening to them. It is also great to hear the messages on notifications and that its all timed out to seem realistic. Keep up the good work.
We live for this Game! Taylors story is so amazing.
This is choose-your-own-adventure app. Enjoyed it.
We enjoy these games, even though Im not doing any action and we cant see the character. We feel the suspense.
We just really wish they were all better organized. We just payed for one last night that was free in the Library app that we didnt even know about until it popped up in ANOTHER game we payed for. Seriously love these little stories though. So enveloping.
Taylor is an amazing and funny character and it is a privilege to guide him through the white star.
Taylor is still really enjoyable, we can't wait for their next adventure.
Let us start by saying, we don't write reviews all that often. This game is just as good as the first (which is amazing). We love Taylor, he has our sense of humor and is so witty. We cared more for what happened to him than we do for most people. We seriously recommend this one and the first.
We were so happy that this story continued on from the original Lifeline! We appreciate that this one is quite a bit longer than the first Lifeline. The dated pop culture references were a little much, but we really do know a few people who similarly drop those kind of references, so it wasn't very unrealistic to us.
The second game is not quite as immersive, to us, as the first was, but we love Taylor's character and personality, and this new story is super interesting. One of our all-time favorite games. Definitely worth the money.
Please give us the option to FF from the beginning. We understand that the concept is to experience the game in "real time," but for us, it's a lot more entertaining to read it like a book. We hate to kill someone off just so we can get the rewind and fast forward options.
Must say played the first one and this one is just as well put together. Did not disappoint.
We swear, getting through the first game was a struggle, but then this? We felt fearful for ourselves, as if we were in Taylor's shoes. We have never experienced such a powerful game. Off to the next adventure with Taylor.
This game is absolutely the best app we have ever downloaded, we got it all right our first time and we beat the first game after days and days of trying and rewinding it's been the most fun experience in our time with our phone playing these games, and yes we actually did cry after finishing this game can't wait for another one (and hope to god and all above that there will be.).
This game is so immersive. We feel like we actually am taking with another person. Let's us escape from everyday craziness.
We love these games. We're always happy to play them.
We rate this game a good five out of five. The story is really great and well planned out, the characters were very unique and we loved the feeling of getting attached to them. Its a really great story and game, we would highly recommend it for people who like these types of games.
Amazing game probably one of the best lifeline games out there.
Very fun game, but the actions of the main character took way too long it was very very very addicting.
Simple, engaging, and fun. We're a big fan. Totally worth it.
