    Yeah I am not able to go back it won't allow me to choose any other different story line.

    Stuck too, and in a moment, like everything was about to happen at once :D So I have to wait a week and hope that this is the problem that you fixed..

    Really like the game!

    My last line is "(How screwed-up is it that.."

    No were to go

    I had to uninstall the game and restart. I could not go back and choose a different path. I was stuck. Seems to be in the same position as everyone else. Still I love the game.

    I loved this game! Taylor died once. Thankfully it happened early. It would have hurt to start over if messed up the final events.

    The notification/text message feel of the game really lends to its realism. You don't actively choose to sit down and play. In a sense you're always playing. Taylor would message me very similarly to a text message from a friend This really helped blur the lines between a game and reality. Lifeline became a higher priority. I would leave other app/games mid-session to consult with Taylor. The man is stranded on some planet. I mean thats obviously more important!

    I was also forced to spend a couple days with Taylor instead of a single one hour session. My decisions held more weight. I had invested time into Taylor. If I messed up I couldn't quickly return to where I left off. It brought wonderful level of tension. Not something I expect in this genre. In the final scenario I remember the hairs on my neck standing at attention. It was brilliant.

    The only fault is the ending. I don't want to spoil anything. I'm not sure what I expected. I think I just expected more. My feeling of success was not on par with the of build up that lead to it. Maybe it couldn't be.

    I'm at the end of my first playthrough, but I can't rate the game or restart or do anything

    Taylor has escaped in a rescue ship and the last message is in green and it says "connection terminated".

    What do I do?

    If you open the menu in the bright gray tray button at the bottom of the screen, do you have a "Restart Story" button available in there?

    By the way: the story and the game were great!

    Oh, I do see the problem. You're the first person I've talked to who's made it all the way through to that ending on the first shot! We're submitting an updated build to Apple this afternoon, it will include a fix for that. For now you can delete & reinstall the game, and it will give you a fresh start. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks a bunch for letting me know!

    Also, that screenshot might be a little spoiler-y, and now that I've seen it you can take it down ;)

    I actually completed the game first try with that ending as well. I'm recieving the same issue.

    Fantastic game, btw. I don't get to normally tell the developer directly, but well done. I thouroughly enjoyed the story.

    PSA: Our v1.2 app update was approved by Apple, so if you're stuck at that point in the story please grab the newest version! You may have to back up to the choice right before the point where you got stuck, and make that choice again. Please let me know if you're having any issues still.

    This update also fixes the problem where you weren't able to review the last few messages if you come back to the app and Taylor has disconnected, and it vastly improves scrolling on both iPhone and Apple Watch - it will only autoscroll if you're at the bottom of the story log, so it's much easier to scroll back and catch up even while messages are coming in. Super handy in fast mode especially.

    Just finished it. Taylor died once. Hands down one of the best, most thought provoking games I've played in a long time.

    Hello- I think I finished the game (safely), but the ending is the same system message as when you finish badly. Is there a different system message for the optimal ending? Thanks
