A dangerous crush. A suspicious ally. One very bad idea. Welcome to CastLoop, where stories are made to be played. Watch cinematic stories and choose your next move. Or step into an interactive novel: pick a suggested action or write your own, and let AI continue the story. Your novel can have pictures, too. Illustrated mode adds two AI-generated images to each new turn. Keep reading while they load, or switch to text-only mode for your next turn. In supported cinematic stories, choice hints show effects or requirements before you tap, and on-screen stats let you follow changes as you play. Browse by genre and set your story preferences to find your next adventure. CastLoop+ includes unlimited text-only generation in interactive novels. Illustrated turns cost 10 Diamonds with membership or 20 Diamonds without it. Nonmembers can generate text-only turns for 5 Diamonds. Illustrated generation still requires Diamonds. Subscriptions and other in-app purchases are available. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
