how it works

Three taps to a story
that has never existed.

step 01

Cast it.

Choose up to three characters — ours, or ones you build from a name, a job and three questions only they can answer.

step 02

Set the heat.

Twenty-five tropes from slow burn to cat-and-mouse, each with a heat rating. Your ceiling is yours; we write inside it.

step 03

Read it. Or hear it.

The story unfolds chapter by chapter, about three minutes each, narrated aloud if you'd rather listen in the dark.
