High School pack: pick a lunch table, study or cram, and choose clubs and teams. Oval Office pack: sign executive orders and watch approval and the economy move. Heist pack: plan a job and see the odds before you commit. Family Tree pack: grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, and a family reunion to host. A headstone for a finished life, with epithets earned, net worth and bucket list progress. Crown pack: born a prince, with a line of succession and a yearly duty to do or skip.

A whole life, told in years

You press Age and a year goes by. Something happens: a job offer, a bad diagnosis, a landlord who wants his money, a cousin with a business idea. You choose, the choice sticks, and the next year starts from there. Then you die, and the game tells you how it went.

36 careers

From the mailroom to the boardroom, the stage to the courtroom. More than 300 career decisions along the way.

1,000+ hand-written events

Every event is written by hand, not generated. They only fire when they make sense for your life.

Legacy that carries on

Ten prestige paths, 80 epitaphs and a 59-item bucket list. Your next life remembers the last one.

A fresh Today's Life

Every day brings a new starting point, the same for every player: a country, a background and a challenge. Play it and compare notes.

23 optional packs

Heist, Crown, Oval Office, Courtroom, High School and more. A pack adds a new way to play, never a bigger number than a free player has.

No pressure

No energy timers, no loot boxes, no subscription. Ads are rewarded and optional, never between years or on a menu.

Questions

Is LifeLine free?

Yes. It is free to download and play. Content packs and thank-you tiers are optional purchases. Packs add new ways to play, never a bigger number than a free player has.

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

No account, no sign-in. The game plays offline. Your saved lives stay on your device.

What languages does it support?

Menus and buttons are in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The stories themselves are written in English, and I would rather say so than machine-translate them.

How do the ads work?

The only ads are rewarded ones you choose to watch for a bonus. There are no pop-ups, no banners and no ads between years.

Is it on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. LifeLine is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.

Who makes it?

One developer, Sean Lynch. If something breaks or you have an idea, email temveno@gmail.com.
