Reading reimagined: the choices you make drive the story and reshape its world.

• Meaningful stories. Each tale explores a myriad of themes through the interactive landscape of speculative fiction. From near-future to the confines of deep space, from grimdark fantasy to dungeon crawlers and cosy taverns, from horror to cloak-and-dagger and more.

• Guide, don’t create. You don’t build a character; you inhabit one. Experience the world through their eyes: influence their path, share their voice, and see where your guidance leads them.

• Textured storytelling. Subtle frames, pulsing images, fades, and vibrations add mood to each scene: small cues that deepen your immersion. All special effects can be turned off to adjust your reading experience.

• Every story has its quirk. Some choices reshape the world; others echo through what’s left unsaid. In Unearthed Stories, every tale has a different mechanic and a unique style of interaction; your reading will always feel fresh.

• Art that belongs to the fiction. Unlock illustrations, character artwork, and maps to deepen your sense of place and character.

What’s the experience like?

Once you open Unearthed Stories, you’ll step into the bookshelf to explore a curated world of literary speculative fiction. Each story comes with a blurb and tags to help you discover themes, worlds, and ideas that intrigue you.

Once you pick a story, you enter its voice and its world—usually in first-person, present tense—and begin to navigate its chapters.

As the tale unfolds, choices are offered. Some are small, and will ripple to the world reshaping future events. Others are ground-breaking and impactful, affecting the lives of all involved characters. Every decision has a unique weight; every path feels alive.

Along the way, subtle visual and tactile cues—pulsing frames, fading colors, vibrations—enhance the story’s atmosphere. Illustrations, maps, and artifacts can be unlocked, rewarding curiosity and attention to detail.

Reading here is active, thoughtful, and deeply immersive. You don’t just follow a story, you guide it.
