How to Use
• Write interactive fiction stories in plain text - the engine automatically converts them into playable choose-your-own-adventure games • Create scenes by typing scene names in ALL CAPS on their own lines • Link between scenes by mentioning scene names anywhere in your text (they become clickable) • Add multiple choice buttons using dashes: "- Go left [FOREST_SCENE]" • Use square brackets for game logic: [get key], [has sword?], [gold + 5] • Start dialogue lines with quotation marks for different text styling • Add images with [filename.jpg] and sounds with [filename.mp3] • Use conditional logic with [has item?] followed by [else] for alternate text • Display item quantities with [gold] gold coin[s] - the [s] appears only when plural • Click anywhere to speed up text that appears letter-by-letter • Goal: Create branching narratives where player choices determine the story outcome The engine runs your story immediately - just start typing to see your interactive fiction come to life.
