LifeLine 2.4.3: A LOT MORE LIFE MORTGAGES Buy a home with 20% down. Miss two payments in a row and the bank takes it back, though you keep most of what you put in. RAISES, FIRINGS AND THE PEOPLE AT WORK Ask for a raise once a year, with the odds shown on the button. Every job now comes with a named boss and coworker you can impress, push back on, or cover for. Layoffs happen too, and they pay severance. FAMILY, NOT JUST NAMES Ask your parents for money or advice, look after them when they get old, and borrow from a sibling (they will remember if you never pay it back). MORE STORY 53 new decisions for everyday jobs, new moments for toddlers and young teens, and new stories for the Courtroom, Landlord and Bloodline packs. Your college major now matters for some jobs. LIFE GOALS YOU CAN SEE Your life goal shows how close you are and what to do next, and the age you reached it goes on your gravestone. STREAKS AND REMINDERS THAT PAY Play 3, 7 or 14 days in a row for a reward. Reminders now pick up the story you left hanging. REWIND TOKENS One still arrives free every day, and a short clip earns another. Now you can also buy 5 or 20 of them. SMALL FIXES A teenager living at home no longer goes into debt paying rent nobody charged. A few screens showed the wrong color or a stray number. All fixed. Your saves are untouched. A life, one year at a time.

LifeLine 2.2.7: PLUS, AND PRICES IN YOUR OWN MONEY THE LIFETIME PASS IS NOW CALLED PLUS Same purchase, same price, same everything it unlocks. The old name suggested it included the content packs, which it never did. Plus takes away the optional ads and unlocks God Mode, the prestige careers, the premium origins and the bigger legacy wall. Content packs are still bought separately. If you already own it, you still own it, and nothing about your account changed. PRICES NOW SHOW IN YOUR OWN CURRENCY The store used to print US dollars at everyone, then hand you to a purchase sheet in your real money. Now the price you read is the price you pay, wherever you are. THE SMALL BUTTONS LOOK LIKE BUTTONS NOW The actions on a person's card, and the ones for adopting a pet, selling something or emigrating, were grey on a grey card and read as labels rather than something you press. They are green now. Nothing about how your lives play has changed, and your saves are untouched. A life, one year at a time.

LifeLine 2.2.5: THE BUG-FIXES UPDATE No new content this time, just cleanup under the hood. MONEY Renovating a property right before flipping it paid out more than it should have, and a couple of other quiet money exploits went with it. SECOND CHANCES Cheating death, asking for one more year, or turning back the clock used to let you keep rewards and records from a death that never actually happened. Now it plays fair. RELATIONSHIPS A married or engaged character could still go looking for someone new through a side door we missed. Closed now. FAMILY Continuing the family line as a grandchild used to write your own grandparent into the family tree as a parent. Fixed. SETTINGS A save with Large text chosen before this update could quietly lose that setting. It's preserved now. A life, one year at a time.

LifeLine 2.2: THE ONE WHERE WIDOWS COULD NOT LOVE AGAIN A NEW LOOK ON THE MAIN MENU The background was a grid of grey squares. It is now a field of lives: every point of light is one, a few of them joined into the short chains a family line makes, most of them on their own. AND A FIX FOR THE TEXT SIZE Picking Large or Larger zoomed the app in so far you could not get back out of the Settings screen. That is fixed, and larger text now reflows the page properly instead of magnifying it. WHEN YOUR HUSBAND OR WIFE DIED, THE GAME NEVER LET GO If your spouse died, LifeLine quietly kept you married to them. You could never propose to anyone again for the rest of that life. Meeting someone new was scored as an affair. The game still counted you as married for everything from adoption to the "die single" challenge. And the three moments written for exactly that year of your life, the habit you cannot break, their things still in the house, the first year alone, could never once appear, because all three ask for a spouse who has died and a player who is no longer married. That is fixed, in new lives and in the save you already have. Across four hundred test lives, a spouse now dies in a hundred and twenty-five of them, and forty-one percent of those people go on to marry again. MONEY NOW COSTS MONEY There was no cost of living. Income arrived every year and nothing ever took any of it back, so past about twenty-five your money only ever went up. There is a yearly cost now, and it comes from how you actually live: where you live, children while they are still at home, the upkeep on your property and your cars, and medical costs that climb after sixty-five and get worse the worse your health is. Earn well and you still get richer every year. Stop earning and you will watch it go down. RENOVATING WAS A MONEY PRINTER Doing up a property cost five percent of its value and added fifteen, with no limit. A country estate could be turned into a hundred and thirty-eight million dollars. A place can now be improved to a bit over twice what you paid, and no further, and the builders will turn the job down rather than take your money for nothing. THE BIG BIRTHDAYS STOP REPEATING Your fifth, eighth, eleventh, thirteenth and twenty-first now have completely different versions, with their own choices, and which one you get depends on how many lives you have played. Two lives in a row will not open the same way. TWENTY-FIVE NEW EVENTS, MOST OF THEM VERY EARLY Being one, two, three, four and five was nearly empty. One single event covered being one year old. Fourteen new ones fill in the years before school, including the stair gate, the word you will not stop saying, the wrong shoes in summer, and the friend nobody else can see. TEXT SIZE FOLLOWS YOUR PHONE If you have already told your phone you want larger text, LifeLine now listens, instead of showing everyone the same small type. There is a control in Settings if you want something different. Nine buttons that were smaller than a fingertip have been made bigger. A life, one year at a time.

LifeLine 2.1.1: FOUR THINGS THAT WERE WRONG MONEY THAT RAN OFF THE SCREEN Past about a hundred million, the money line at the top of Assets pushed its own numbers off the edge and printed them on top of each other. It fits now, at any amount, on any phone. TENANTS WHO MADE NO SENSE A strip mall could rent to a retired schoolteacher for seven hundred thousand a year. Commercial property rents to businesses now. An apartment block rents to a building full of people. A duplex rents to a family. Properties you already own are fixed too, so you do not need a new life. EVERY COMPANY YOU FOUNDED WAS THE SAME COMPANY It was called NimbusAI and it sold the same thing every time, so a founder with five companies behind them had five identical rows of history. Names and ideas are rolled together now, across six industries, and you will not draw the same one twice in a life. A LANDLORD YOU DID NOT HAVE Own your home, or an island you live on, and the game could still send you news about your landlord. It does not anymore. If you actually rent, nothing changes. NAME YOUR OWN COIN AND YOUR OWN COMPANY Both screens now have a name field with a suggestion already in it and a dice button for another. Type over it and the thing is called whatever you want. The ticker updates as you type, so you can see what it will trade as before you spend a cent. EVERYTHING THAT WAS THE SAME EVERY TIME Once we found one, we went looking for the rest. Every coin you launched was MoonRabbit. Every movement you founded was The Luminous Path. Every family you joined was the Gallo family. Every account you started posted as "@you" about lifestyle, whatever your name was. All of it varies now, the coin suggestions run to thousands, and your handle is your own name. A life, one year at a time.

Housekeeping. There is nothing new to play in this one. The App Store page now speaks Spanish and Portuguese, so the game is easier to find for people who do. The game itself has spoken both since 2.0. Links to LifeLine events now open the game directly instead of sending you through a web page first. A life, one year at a time.

LifeLine 2.0: A WHOLE LIFE MORE The biggest update since the game existed. Everything that was free stays free. TEN WAYS TO MAKE IT Found a company that actually trades. Launch a coin and decide whether to run. Join a family and rise. Run a corner and manage the heat. School board to the White House. Enlist, deploy, come home. Start a cult. Wear the badge or the robe. Fight for a title. Post until the algorithm loves you. SEVEN PACKS, TRY ANY ONE FOR A LIFE Courtroom. Landlord. Stage & Studio. Hearts. Bloodline. Hard Lives. Wardrobe. Systems, never advantages. Watch a short clip to try one; nothing free ever moves behind a pack. SIXTY-PLUS NEW YEARS The nineties. Childhood. The years of a romance. Grandchildren, in-laws and pets who finally speak. A HAND WHEN YOU NEED ONE Optional clips on the moments a life is about: cheat death and keep the year, take a bad gamble back, a lucky break on your next big roll, one more year at the end. All free with Plus. No forced ads, anywhere, ever. ALSO A weekly challenge. Light mode. Larger text. Reminders you turn on yourself. Spanish and Portuguese. A new icon. Readable type everywhere. Fifty bugs, some of them old, and a fuzzer that threw forty thousand garbage actions at the game so your phone never has to. A life, one year at a time. See how far it goes.

Sports you actually choose — and the list depends on where you were born. Muay Thai in Thailand, Gaelic football in Ireland, Friday-night football in the States. Land you can build on. Buy a plot and put a cabin, a rental duplex or a whole estate on it. Bare land never gains value and can't be rented. A building does both. A new path: dealing. One corner, then the city. Everything you do raises the heat, and the only thing that lowers it is not earning. It ends one of three ways, and you choose which risk you're running. Politics that explains itself. Every office now has duties only it can do — a school board rewrites a curriculum, a senator holds the floor, a president addresses the nation. Rallies buy momentum you can see. And every election shows your odds broken down before you run, then tells you your vote share and what decided it. Decisions now come to you. A vote on the floor, a call on tour, a problem on the corner — instead of waiting in a tab for you to remember them. ALSO FIXED - A serving soldier or a sitting senator no longer reads "Unemployed". - Dying in service now says how and why, not just "killed in action". - The Assets tab explains why buying something doesn't lower your net worth. - Selling a property now costs what selling a property costs.
