Text-Based Interactive Stories
Unearth a universe of stories, worlds of fantasy, and realms of science fiction through interactive, text-based stories, each with its own flavour. Would you find magic or alchemy? Would you choose revenge or forgiveness? Which path will you take?
Unearthed Stories offers text-based, interactive, speculative fiction (fantasy and sci-fi) for adult readers – imagine ebooks but with choices.
Read thought-provoking stories with thematic work. You’ll read once, and end up mulling over them for hours. Would you have chosen differently?
This is a library in your hand – each story is standalone and unique, and you’ll find something for almost every mood reader.
And the best thing? We keep unearthing new stories and new chapters periodically!
Some of our favourite stories include:
Static Signal Living Legacy. Two radio arrays. One signal. One mystery. Dozens of people struggling for the truth. Millions affected by the consequences. This is a near-future, hard sci-fi story where the smallest, simplest actions have history-changing consequences.
Mien. Strezia is in distress, and their nobles request political assistance from The Orders. They send Mien, an untried alchemist from a cohort known as Chimeras. Can Strezia be helped, or is it doomed by its corruption? This is a morally-grey, political-philosophical story set in a fantasy world where the unescapable biases of perception taint all decisions and memories.
Means of Egress. A Wanderer awakens. A dungeon opens ahead. A quest to explore and survive. An almighty Dungeon Lord of dungeon-twisting wrath. A waltz of questions on the Wanderer’s mind—What do I want? What do I seek? What is my path? This is a literary dungeon crawler adventure with a philosophical twist.
Our Own Rhythm. Nina, a wooden doll, awakens enchanted by the Lady’s magic—her fae owner—and ready to tap-dance. She does, and the Lady praises Nina’s rhythms and unique style… but her world shifts when she meets the other enchanted dolls. Can she rediscover her rhythm after it’s been silenced?A coming-of-age dark fantasy story exploring bullying, identity, and the strength it takes to rediscover oneself in the aftermath.
