3 Minute Games is known for creating games that are not only text based, but also time based. They revolved around the idea that players are interacting with the protagonist, via a messaging service, and the player is the only person whom the protagonist can reach.
Update: December 12th, 2016 7:55am PST: If you have been waiting for this game to arrive, you can now pick up a copy of Lifeline: Halfway to Infinity off of Google Play for a cool $1.99 using the new link at the bottom of this article.
As a result, it’s incumbent upon players to offer advice by selecting from dialog options, then wait for the protagonist to text back, after completing the task in real-time. In short, it’s a twist on Choose Your Own Adventure. Thus, there might be a flurry of messaging that is chased by the hero going dark for a few hours. 3 Minute Games is in the process of releasing a new game in their Lifeline franchise that will be dubbed: Halfway to Infinity. In this release, players will be assisting Taylor, who is an astronaut that was sent out alone on a mission to encircle a black hole. The twist comes in the form of Taylor’s learning that the solitude isn’t there, and someone or something is on board as well.
