What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Lifeline... is a dramatic story that unfolds like a Choose Your Own Adventure book. It can be played on an Apple Watch or other iOS device, making the communication seem quite real. Kids will feel like they are talking to a real astronaut, helping make life-or-death decisions. Death is rampant, as is constant peril. Depending on decisions, the main character dies several different ways. Other crew members died in the crash, and their bodies are discovered and described graphically (though there are no pictures in the game). The story is intense, and the format pulls the player in, which may make it too intense for some. Language options are English, German, and French.
