iPhone
Step inside an illustrated story where every choice rewrites what happens next. Start with a free Short Story, or dive into a full 80–100 scene Graphic Novel.
Reading Alive turns you into the main character. Every scene is written and illustrated as you read, and every choice you make shapes what happens next, so no two stories are ever the same.
CHOOSE YOUR STORY
Start with three launch stories:
• Neon Rain (cyberpunk noir): chase a thief who steals memories through a flooded megacity.
• The Hollow Crown (dark fantasy): an heir to a cursed kingdom, a ghostly king, and no one to trust.
• Last Signal (sci-fi horror): alone on a deep-space relay station, a distress call arrives from a ship that shouldn't exist.
NEW STORIES ADDED REGULARLY
New storylines are added periodically, and each one comes with its own free Short Story to try.
TWO WAYS TO READ
• Short Story: 16–20 scenes, perfect for a quick adventure. Your first Short Story on every title is free.
• Graphic Novel: a full 80–100 scene epic with illustrations throughout.
YOUR CHOICES, YOUR WORDS
Pick one of three paths in every scene, or type your own action and watch the story adapt.
PLAY TOKENS
Tokens work on any story: a Short Story costs 1 token and a Graphic Novel costs 3 tokens. Continuing a story you've started is always free. There are no subscriptions.
SAFE BY DESIGN
Stories are written for a PG-13 audience, typed actions are safety-checked, and you can report any scene with one tap.
