Introduction to the player

A Moiki interactive story is called a moiki. You do not read it in one go. At each step you make choices, and the story adapts to your decisions.

Reading a moiki takes no installation. A story opens in the browser, on a computer as well as on a phone.

What you will come across

• Choices. The heart of the reading, yours to decide what happens next. See Playing a story.
• An inventory. The items you pick up along the way. See The inventory and items.
• Gauges. Values that move as you go, like courage or gold. See Gauges and counters.
• Images and sound. See Sound and images.
• Achievements. See Resuming a game.
• An accessible mode. For more comfortable reading. See Accessible mode.

Not every story uses all of this. A moiki can stick to text and choices, or mix items, gauges and images. The author is the one who composes.

Resuming, sharing

Your progress is saved automatically, so you can close a story and pick it up later. And when a story wins you over, a single link is enough to pass it on.
