HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (4.9 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Content was OK fun at first but no matter how many times you change the story and your answers the game in the same way only one scenario comes with it cannot download any more,would not waste my money

★★★★★ Title is pretty self explanatory; the size of the content seems to be stuck around iPhone 6 sizing, and my notifications are entirely broken (messages I've read show as notifications, new notifications don't come).
★★★★★ I think it was poorly written and way to buggy.
★★★★★ I've played through two other Lifeline games and enjoyed them both. I've recommended them to friends, colleagues and students. While this game seems to follow the same formula for success I began to realize the…

★★★★★ I deleted it after working through it for a couple of days.
★★★★★ I admit I was a little disappointed in the flatness of the character development but the larger issue I had with this particular game is that it lost my progress.
★★★★★ It's way to much time to keep starting again and not know where u may have gone wrong.
Crashes and freezes4%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Crashes A LOT and difficult to stop the game from ending too soon.
★★★★★ I usually loved the Lifeline games, but this one is too buggy (crashes/freezes) and its plot leaves much to be desired.

Fun, addictive16%

16 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I love this game so much it's so much fun!!
★★★★★ I enjoy the story and like the premise that you are on a crisis text line (I'm a therapist irl, so I love that!).
★★★★★ Overall it was fun playing sleuth, but part way through, you kind of knew (or thought) who the bad guy was.
Fast5%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The storyline is rapidly engrossing and pretty fast-paced, and the wait times seem real.
★★★★★ It was buggy in some places--for example, I turned on fast mode to overcome a glitch, but even though I turned it back off, the game continued in fast mode.
★★★★★ I'll be honest, I try to kill off the main character as quickly as possible to unlock "Fast Mode", but that's only because I'm impatient and I can't wait to read what the character has to say next!
Worth the money3%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I am sure the notification thing will be fixed and the story is so so worth it.
★★★★★ Totally worth the money, but ends in a cliffhanger, so I'm stuck waiting for the next one. Every character never gets a (true) happy ending, I suppose. But this one, this game- ends tragically. The true ending was…
Easy to use2%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Way to bring back the fun of the old days and present it in a user-friendly, exciting, new type of user interface!
★★★★★ I like the feature but it'd be nice if it was a little less easy to use.

Ten minute game?

I was excited for this, thinking I was getting a game. It would up being ten minutes? If that. Zero actual choices. Worst waste of time ever. The main character monologues most of the time and you get maybe 15 words in edgewise.

★★★★★Dec 26, 2024
Too much exposition + copaganda

I’ve played all the Lifeline games other than Flatline and this is my least favorite. The main character, Alex, is a detective. He spends half the game telling you about his favorite spots in Austin, and the other half of the game explaining how hard his life is as a cop. Boo hoo, poor Alex. He’s also not a good detective; half the questions he wants to ask have nothing to do with anything, the decisions he makes even after you give advice don’t conform to what a believable detective would do, and he spends more time talking about tacos than suspects. Also, I didn’t want to play a game that acts as a tourist board advertisement for Austin. Honestly, just nowhere near as compelling as any of the other Lifeline games, and really annoying a lot of the time.

★★★★★Mar 23, 2023
Good, but theres a small issue…

The game seems to be delaying, so i close out of it, open again, (and it sometimes has me redo one of my answers again) and it might or might not stop delaying, im not talking about the realistic-ness of the time frame, im talking about the fact that it seems to have a glitch. And sometimes it comes up with an empty page, and then may also take time to load. Which leads me to using fast mode, story line is so good so far! Also a repeat in the story line I’ve noticed.

★★★★★Dec 24, 2022
Meh

Crashes A LOT and difficult to stop the game from ending too soon. There only seem to be so many paths and you keep getting forced into poor choices.

★★★★★Jan 13, 2022
シリーズで一番好き

どのシリーズもそれぞれ味があってスリルがあって感動があるけど、クライシスラインはボリュームがあって特に長く楽しめました! 私が気に入った点は、物語の様々なシーンが不思議と想像しやすく、それがまた綺麗だったことろです。 しかも、海外ドラマっぽい雰囲気(殺人事件と推理、SF要素も上手く混じり合っている)もあって、かなりシナリオが作られてる感がありました。 続編が出て欲しいですね。

★★★★★Nov 2, 2020
Just okay

It was fun to play. Wasn’t sure how long 99 cents would get me. My issue is no matter how many endings different endings you completed, you were always rated low.

Praise for 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 “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
