## What is Dear Traveler?

You’re not just reading a story, you’re part of it.
You were given a dusty notebook on the first day at work, except it writes back. On the other side is a traveler, trapped in a fairytale that’s slowly twisting into something darker. They’re desperate, afraid, and counting on you. Your words are all they have. And every choice you make could change the ending forever.
Dear Traveler is a interactive fiction game where you guide a stranger through a dangerous reimagining of a classic fairytale.

What starts as a familiar tale quickly unravels into something much more unexpected, and far more personal.
! An interactive story with choices that matter
- Influence the outcome through meaningful decisions
- Discover branching paths, alternate endings, and a hidden true end
- Shape the story through trust, timing, and what you choose not to say

! A dark twist on the Cinderella legend
- Glass slippers, midnight warnings, and missing princes, this isn’t the story you remember
- Explore themes of sacrifice, fear, and who gets to be the “main character” in a fairytale
- Bite-sized but emotional, with story beats that range from whimsical to gut-punch

Whether you’re a fan of visual novels, interactive fiction, or games like Lifeline, Dear Traveler offers a short but unforgettable experience.
You’re the only link between this world and theirs.
What you say next could change everything.
