Immerse yourself in the world of Reticulum through the stories, art and culture of the people who travel it. The mark of a good story is how well it pulls the reader in, how believable the world is and how interesting and diverse the characters are. Reticulum takes this immersion to a whole new level readers can appreciate and build upon as they travel. Hyperlinks within the stories themselves create another layer of world building that feels like a novel experience. Curious travelers can touch links to reveal information about characters, including portraits, personal history and names written in their native languages. Users can also earn in-app points for learning about the characters' cuisine, animals, games and slang by opening links throughout the stories! Digital and hand-drawn artwork adds life to the Reticulum universe. Learn the characters' languages (and earn more points) through interactive word puzzles featuring vocabulary from the stories.
