## What is DIYStoryTime?

DIYStoryTime is a choose-your-own-adventure app where you play branching interactive stories and write your own, with no coding.

READ AND PLAY
Step into interactive fiction where every choice matters. Track stats like health and gold in a live HUD, unlock hidden paths as your variables change, and rewind to any earlier moment if a decision goes wrong. Stories come alive with typewriter-style text, adjustable reading speed, text size and font, optional voice narration using your device's own voices, and mood-based background music you can mute any time. Prefer something calmer? Turn on Reduce Flashing to soften visual effects.

Come back every day for newly generated stories with recurring characters and themes, resources that carry between chapters, and secret endings for readers who go far. Track your stats and unlock achievements as you explore.

WRITE YOUR OWN
Build complete stories on your device with the built-in Creator Studio. Define custom variables (numbers, true/false or text) with optional limits and HUD icons. Write passages, add art and background music, and mark endings as victories, defeats or bittersweet. Branch your story with conditional choices (for example, "only if courage > 5") and effects that update variables when chosen. Built-in validation catches logic errors before you share. When you're done, share your story as a file for others to import and play.

MAKE IT YOURS
Switch between the dark Torchlight theme and the light Daylight theme. Sign in with Apple, Google or email, or play as a guest. Works offline: read and create without a connection.

DIYSTORYTIME PRO
A single one-time purchase unlocks five times as many daily stories, the cloud story shelf, bonus endings, and every Pro feature added in future updates. No subscription.

Whether you want to lose an afternoon in someone else's world or build your own from scratch, DIYStoryTime puts the whole choose-your-own-adventure experience in your pocket.
