About

Wake Alone

Features
Read full description

You wake up alone on a ship in deep space. Something has already gone wrong, and the ship is waiting to see what you do about it. Wake Alone is an anthology of horror stories you read and choose your way through, every word of them written by hand. Your nerve is a meter that mostly goes down. Doors stay shut until you've found what opens them, and most routes end badly. Some end very badly. Fourteen stories. Four are free, and one purchase opens the other ten, including a three-part adventure where what you did in one chapter follows you into the next. Plays offline. No ads, no subscription. Read it in the dark, with headphones.
