Idle Stories
Text Adventure Gamebooks
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A library of nightmares. Choices that matter, endings almost no one finds, soundtracks that follow you into the dark. Three stories free to start.
Idle Stories is an anthology of atmospheric horror — interactive fiction you read in the dark, where every choice carries weight and every story hides more than one ending.
Board a dead freighter where something on the radio is still counting. Take the last tram on a line that was closed after the accident. Measure an apartment that refuses to add up. Each story is a self-contained descent, written to be replayed — the path you didn't take is its own kind of dread.
• Ten stories, from cosmic isolation to folk horror to post-war noir
• Meaningful choices and multiple endings to uncover
• Voiced moments that surface out of the static
• A quiet, CRT-tinted interface that stays out of the way
• Reads fully offline — no account, no ads, no tracking
• Four languages: Polish, English, German, Spanish
• High-accessibility mode with VoiceOver support
Three stories are free to start — Dead Air, After Us and The Lodging. Unlock the rest when a story won't let you go.
