Lights out was forty minutes ago. The guard on the east landing has walked the same eleven paces all week, and tonight, for the first time, he has stopped.
Go now?
Out now
An interactive audiobook that branches on your answer. Yes or no at every turning point, by tap or by nodding your head, and the story genuinely goes somewhere else.
“Go now?”
Your path draws itself as you explore.
The turning point
Answer and it keeps going somewhere else. Not a different line of narration — a different scene, different people, a different ending. Try it below: three questions and eight places to land, written for this page so nothing in the catalogue gets spoiled. A real book is many times this size.

The whole shape
Below is the shape, not the size — the first few forks, drawing themselves the way the app unveils a book while you explore it.
One line
You press play and there is nothing to decide yet. Just narration, and a story getting itself into trouble.
First fork
Yes is not the story and no is not a detour. They are two different scenes, written and narrated separately.
It keeps going
Three turning points alone is eight distinct routes, and none of them is the ‘proper’ one. Prison Break keeps going: 56 nodes of it.
Where it lands
A win, a death, or something quieter that is neither. The tree fills in behind you, so you can see what you missed and go back for it.
Hands-free
Being asked a question is only good if answering is easy. So the answer can be a movement you were going to make anyway.
With AirPods or motion-capable Beats, the app reads head motion on the device to catch the answer. Nothing about the movement leaves the phone.
The headphone button answers through the media session, so the phone can stay in a pocket on Android too.
Every hands-free route is optional. The two buttons are always there, and they are always the fastest way to be sure.
Nod / Shake
The shelf
Every branch written, narrated and checked before a book goes on the shelf — across a widening spread of genres rather than one house style.
Books carry their own advisory minimum age, and the shelf offers a listener only what fits the age the app has for them. What the stories contain sets out exactly what that means.
Every branch is produced and checked ahead of publication. Nothing is generated while you listen.
A short setup shapes what shows up. It is worked out on your device from what you told the app — no profile, no tracking, nothing to sign up for.
Books are content, not updates. New ones appear across genres without you chasing a release.
Getting in
Purchases run through the store at the price shown before you buy. How many free unlocks you get, and which plans are on offer, is always what the app's own purchase screen says.
Free to start
Many free unlocks
Every installation arrives with unlocks to spend on paid books. Spend one and that book stays open for you.
Book Unlock
One book, yours
Buy a single book outright and it stays yours. Not a subscription, and it does not renew.
All Access
The whole shelf
Opens the whole catalogue, including books added while it is active. It renews automatically until you cancel.
Purchases and free unlocks are tied to an anonymous identifier for your installation, which is what lets them be restored later. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly what that is and what is stored, and the Terms of Use cover unlocks, subscriptions and cancellation.
Out now
On the App Store and on Google Play. Both buttons are always here — whichever store your phone uses is the one that leads.
