How it works
Here is one real story, from the first tap to the scene your choice creates.
Each one starts at the moment things could go another way.
Tap one of the choices, or type any move you can think of.
The next scene is written around your choice, with a new picture.
Then keep going. Every choice opens a new branch you can come back to. Reach an ending and publish your path as a book others can read and take somewhere new.Read books by players
