Mezzotale is a home for branching stories. Read a scene, choose what happens, and the story goes your way, towards one of its many endings. And for writers, a Studio to make them: each scene a card, each choice a thread to the next.
Free to join. One email when it opens, nothing else.

Mysteries, romances, horrors and fantasies by independent authors, with pictures, music and sound. Every choice you make is remembered.
Mezzotale Studio, for writers: a desktop app for branching stories, no code needed. Play your story through as you write it, then publish it to readers.
A minute of your time. We’ll write once, when Mezzotale opens.
