How It Works
What is inFict?
inFict stories don't happen on a screen or a page. They happen around you — in your city, your neighborhood, wherever you are. You're not a reader or a viewer. You're the main character, and the story is already in motion.
How a Story Works
Every inFict story is different, but they all work the same way at their core.
You download the app and start a story. From that moment, the story is ready to interact with you and your surroundings. You make choices to move the story forward — take an action, send a message, visit a location. Characters respond. Locations reveal themselves. Choices appear. What you do determines what happens next.
As you interact with the story, the narrative unfolds in the app. The story appears on the screen in real time telling YOUR story.
What Can Trigger a Story Moment?
inFict stories unfold through the real-world channels authors set up. As a player, you interact with the story through the actions it asks of you. Here are some examples:
- Arriving at a specific location
- Texting a number in the story
- Calling a character
- Receiving a message at the right moment
- Making a choice that changes the path
- Completing a task with your group
The story is waits for your move. Every action moves it forward.
Who Is It For?
inFict is for anyone who wants to step inside a story.
For players, it's a way to turn an ordinary night into an adventure. Friend groups looking for something memorable to do together. Fans of escape rooms, immersive theater, and ARGs. Travelers, walkers, puzzle-solvers, and curious people of every age — anyone who'd rather do the story than read it.
You don't need to be a gamer, and you don't need to know anything about the story ahead of time. Pick one that sounds fun, gather the people you want to share it with, and press start. The story does the rest.
For creators, inFict is a platform for authors with a story that belongs in the real world. Game designers who want to build experiences that reach people where they are. Escape room creators, scavenger-hunt designers, LARP organizers, immersive theater makers — if your work puts people inside a story, inFict was built for you.
