FAQ
Questions, answered.
Getting started
A place to play, write and read branching stories. You choose what happens at each turn, an AI writes the scenes nobody wrote yet, and the path you took can become an illustrated book others read and continue.
Not to read published books. Playing, writing, liking, commenting and publishing need a free account, so your stories are saved and follow you between devices.
Yes. A free account plays every hand-written story with all its pictures, and gets AI-written scenes every day and a few AI pictures a month. Plus adds a picture for every AI scene and many more AI scenes a day. Compare plans
You choose. Each story can be written at one of four reading levels, from simple to literary, and you can change it in the story’s menu; new AI scenes follow it.
Playing and writing
When you choose something nobody wrote yet, or write your own move, an AI writes the next scene for your story, remembering what happened before. It takes a few seconds and appears as it is written.
Yes. Under every scene there is a box to write what you do instead, up to 300 characters. Your move becomes a new branch and the story continues from it.
Every choice made in a story branches it. The map shows the whole tree: the path you are on, the branches you tried, the choices nobody took yet, and which scenes readers liked most.
AI scenes and pictures cost real money, so each plan has a daily number. They reset at midnight UTC. Plus raises them a lot.
Pictures are drawn after the scene is written and can take a little while when it is busy. If one fails, tap “Try again” under it. A failed picture never counts against your allowance.
Books, likes and comments
In any story you are playing, choose “Make it a book” at the top. You pick up to which scene, write a hook and a short synopsis, and it gets its own page anyone can read.
No one can change your scenes. Readers can continue your book from any scene into their own story; their new scenes are theirs, and your book stays as you published it.
A like counts fully on the scene you liked and a little on each scene before it, so books rise with their own likes and with the stories that continue from them. The Read page lists the most liked first.
Yes: open the story, choose “Make it a book”, then Unpublish. Scenes that other readers continued from stay readable as part of their books, without your name.
