Interactive Questbook
A branching-story system from Leilani Studios. Read a scene, choose what to do, and follow where it leads.
Each book is a complete quest with a protagonist to guide. You read a scene, decide what to do, and turn to the numbered section that follows your choice. What you learn, whom you trust, the trouble you meet, and the ending you reach can change along the way.
Your choices move the story
You might press someone for an answer, take the dangerous route, or stop to look more closely. The book tells you where to go next. You do not read its numbered sections in order; you follow the path your decisions make.
One journey gives you a complete story. Return with different decisions and you may discover another side of the quest.
A little uncertainty, built into the book
Before you begin, choose one of three profiles for the story's protagonist. Each describes a different way to face a problem. Then choose a Fate Mark: Crown, Key, Moon, Thorn, Wave, or Wolf. Keep your profile and mark for that journey.
At certain moments, a Fate Challenge asks you to find your profile and mark in a lookup and follow the section it gives you. Your action might work, work at a cost, or lead to a setback that changes your route. You make the decision; the book handles the calculation.
No dice, character sheet, companion app, or previous gamebook experience is needed. Each book teaches you its own setup before the story begins.
Learn how to play
A reader guide is available for anyone who wants to try a choice and a Fate lookup before opening a book. The books also include a short introduction that walks you through the setup. See the How To Play guide to understand how the Interactive Questbook system works.
