How it works

Three steps, and the story is yours

Here is one real story, from the first tap to the scene your choice creates.

  1. 1

    Pick a story

    Each one starts at the moment things could go another way.

  2. 2

    Make your choice

    Tap one of the choices, or type any move you can think of.

  3. 3

    See it written and drawn

    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

The Last Train Stops at Tomorrow

About this story

Pick the mood

One situation, three different stories

Every row below is the same opening scene. Choose how you want it to feel, and the whole story is written in that mood.

All mood stories
  1. The situationThe Girl in Carrel 14Rain, a nearly empty library, and the stranger at the next desk you’ve never dared to talk to.
  2. The situationBoth Pilots Are DownForty minutes from landing, the cockpit goes silent. Somebody has to fly this plane.
  3. The situationThe Rattle on the RidgeSix kilometres from the trailhead, alone, with one bar of signal: something just bit you.

Your own story

Start from one line

Write a “what if”. The world gets built around it, the first scene is written and drawn, and the first choice is yours.

Who is it about, where are they, and what just changed? One line is enough.

How should it feel?
