Upon checking the store listing for Lifelong, one particular phrase really caught my eye: "the meaninglessness of certain jobs", which is what this game addresses. I see this as a fresh and bold approach for a game.
The game positions you as a humble worker at Scopesoft, "a complex and labyrinthine company" where your colleagues behave quite oddly. You're trapped in this place, aiming to escape by exploring and solving puzzles.

Things take an interesting turn when a remote control with extraordinary powers lands on your desk. Your boss demands you return it immediately, but naturally, you won't — it's your ticket out of this place.
This high-tech remote control, known as the Videoxport V0.8, is typically reserved for the top brass. But now that it's in your possession, you can use it to solve puzzles and navigate through the game.

The remote control has some truly astounding features. It can activate and deactivate objects from afar and relocate your coworkers. It even allows you to read your colleagues' minds if you aim it at them — a form of mind-reading magic. Every little secret you uncover brings you a step closer to the exit. Its most impressive capability is that it allows you to switch bodies and places with any of your coworkers to access areas previously inaccessible.
But Lifelong isn't just about solving puzzles and escaping. It's about exploration and discovery. The office is brimming with hidden rooms and secret spots, so make sure to explore and experiment.
