Live Demo
The Town That Never Sleeps
The bus drops you off at the Blackpool town limits as the sun begins to set. A weathered sign reads “Blackpool: Dead at Night” with graffiti scrawled underneath: “Population: Less every day.” You’ve come here following reports of missing persons and strange incidents. The town has an unsettling atmosphere – too many boarded-up shops, too few people on the streets after dark, and an unusual number of missing person posters on every telephone pole. As you walk down the main street with your duffel bag, you notice a group of leather-clad bikers hanging around outside a video store. Their leader, a platinum blonde with piercing eyes, watches you with predatory interest. “Fresh meat,” one of them says, loud enough for you to hear. The others laugh, but there’s something unsettling about the sound – like the howl of wolves.Create Content
Questory lets you design stories. Stories are comprised of scenes, characters, variables and inventory items.
Your story dashboard will let you quickly see a visual representation of your story.
See all of the decision trees and how they related. Powerful tools let you quickly find dead ends or unreachable endings.
Add Interactivity
You can adjust variables on scene entry, or when a specific choice is made.
You can add and remove items to your inventory during play, and make items required for certain paths and decisions.
Choices can be conditional on certain variable values being within a range while Characters have multiple expressions and dialogue options.
Add Media, add Style
Every story can have its own custom CSS using a well defined and documented set of selectors.
You can add animations, text effects such as type-writer or glow, scene transition effects, background images and more.
Ultimately, every scene is a WordPress custom post – which means you can add rich media (images, videos) and control layout.
