About

Wyoot

Features
Read full description

The feeling of a good book, in the time you have. Wyoot is a collection of short interactive stories where most take under 10 minutes to read, and the stories branch based on what you choose. Pick a story from horror, drama, comedy, fantasy, sci-fi, and more. Read at your own pace, tap to make each choice, and watch the story shift in response. There's no single "right" path, just the one you took. Every story has multiple endings, usually four to seven, and some stay hidden until you go back and choose differently. Replay is part of the experience: your progress and unlocked endings are saved automatically, so you can pick up where you left off or start fresh to find what you missed. Along the way, unlock achievements for the paths you discover, track your progress across every story you've started, and explore a growing library organized by genre and curated collections. Optionally, sign in with just your email to sync your progress, ratings, and achievements across your devices. Read once. Replay differently.
