Operator's Side is a 2003 voice-activated video game developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. An English version of the game known as Lifeline gained notoriety for its charming, unique, and sometimes frustrating method of gameplay.

This guide is designed to help English speaking players already familiar with Lifeline in their next journey: playing the game in Japanese. I created it mainly as a fun way for streamers and gamers to challenge themselves again with one of my favourite video games of all time ദ്ദി(˵^ ᴗ ^˵)✧

This guide contains a few key tools to get you started right away, including the full step-by-step walkthrough, a quick commands page, labeled maps, etc. More tools will be on the way when I get time, like a Speedrun Guide, an Abbreviated Full Complete Guide, and a Fun Facts page about things that I learned while working on this project.

 

 

​

Notes: the walkthrough cannot be viewed properly on mobile due to image formatting issues. I'll try to get a mobile guide up eventually; If you notice any issues on desktop (like images appearing in the wrong place or overlapping text), please let me know so I can fix them!

If you enjoy these kind of games you can support me unpacking this one and others in the future on Twitch. I'll be doing a couple of full playthroughs on stream and sharing things I find in the Official Guidebook for Operator's Side.
