Professional voice actors narrate the story; you decide what happens next. Choose with a tap or simply speak your choice out loud! HOW IT WORKS • Listen: stories with voices, music and sound design • Choose: at key moments the story stops and asks you to decide.

YOU ARE THE HERO • Stats: earn Story Points with your choices, collect Gold, build skills like strength and charm • Health: wrong choices can wound you.
