Lifestream - A Haunting Text Adventure is an interactive story about John Holton, whose father Randolph, a Catholic priest, has been missing for two weeks. Unable to seek police help without tarnishing his father's reputation as a celibate priest, John searches for him. You play as both John in the present and Randolph in the past, uncovering the events that led to Randolph's disappearance and the mysteries of a strange realm and an enigmatic brotherhood.

Story and exploration

The story unfolds through choices that determine what happens next. You explore detailed locations, including a quaint Victorian home and a small village church, meet and interact with characters, collect and use items, and solve puzzles.

How it plays

Lifestream combines interactive fiction, visual novel and gamebook elements in a graphic interface styled after early-1990s text adventures. Instead of a text parser, you choose from context-specific multiple-choice options. A compass lets you travel between rooms, while separate inventory, map, journal and character screens are available at the push of a button.
