CLUSTER INTERACTIVE-ROMANCE-ACROSS · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2013-12-18
Interactive fiction story apps
This cluster covers interactive fiction apps for reading, writing, and collaborating on choice-driven stories, with a mix of single-player and turn-based collaborative formats. The dated history shows just six entries spread across 2013, 2019, 2021, 2025, and early 2026, with no clear period of concentration. Traction leaders by activity signal are OOC: The Playable Anime, Janitor: Interactive Stories, and Episode - Choose Your Story, though all show zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
