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.\n\nSimple 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.\n\nLifeline: 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!\n\nPraise for Lifeline:\n\n“This is the best game on the Apple Watch.” – Time.com\n\n“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\n\n“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","facts":{"developer_id":1549997175,"developer_url":"http://3minute.games","first_released":"2015-12-09T18:33:27Z","support_url":null,"privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"2.1","release_notes":"This app has been updated by Apple to prepare for watchOS 27 compatibility.
