You already write the story. Now your readers can play it.
Your fanfic or original story gets choices and endings. No code, and free.
What everyone asks before starting
- Do I need to draw?
- No. A scene works with just the narrator and your text, and you can use any images you have the right to use: your own, a friend's, or free stock. To see a story with art, open the example story on your stories page.
- Do I need to code?
- No. You write line by line, pick who says each one and make a choice out of buttons. There is no code anywhere.
- Can I publish fanfic?
- Yes. Fanfic is published and read for free on GameTale, on a non-commercial basis: it is not part of the revenue share and cannot be made subscriber-only. If the owner of the characters asks, it comes down. When the revenue share opens, it covers original stories only.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Writing and publishing are free, with unlimited stories and every creative tool, and no card. You only pay for more room, never for tools.
- Can my readers play on their phones?
- Yes. You send a link and the chapter opens in the phone's browser with nothing to download, and the first chapter needs no account. You can write on a phone too. For long sessions, a bigger screen is more comfortable.
From nothing to a published first chapter
Name your story
A title, a genre and a cover if you want one. Only the title is required.
Write the lines
Each line has who says it and what they say. The narrator is already there.
Add a choice
Two or three options, each one taking the reader to a different scene.
Publish and share the link
Before publishing you see what changed. Then send the link to your readers.
GameTale is just getting started
We have no testimonials to show yet, and we will not make any up. If you publish now you are one of the first authors, and published stories show up on the home page.

More questions
Can I earn money from my story?
Not yet. A revenue share is planned and not in effect. When it opens, it will cover original stories by authors aged 18 or over, paid by PIX or bank transfer. Fanfic is not included.
Is the story still mine?
Yes. Publishing gives us only the license to host your story and show it to readers.
I'm 16. Can I use it?
You need to be 17 or older to create an account, because of Brazil's ECA Digital law. Without an account, anyone can read the first published chapter of every story; later chapters need an account.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in the browser, on a phone, a tablet or a computer. For long writing sessions a bigger screen is more comfortable.
Start with the first chapter.
One line, one choice and a link to send your readers.
Free, no card, unlimited stories.
