概要
Episode is a massive interactive fiction platform that bridges the gap between gaming and storytelling, hosting over 150,000 stories with billions of reads. It offers a dual experience: players can immerse themselves in branching narratives ranging from Hollywood romances to mysteries, or become creators themselves using the comprehensive Episode Studio tools.
ストーリー
From navigating the drama of high school in 'Campus Crush' to solving crimes in licensed hits like 'Pretty Little Liars', the narrative universe is limitless. Stories are episodic and choice-driven, featuring diverse genres including romance, fantasy, and adventure, where the ending is determined solely by the player's decisions.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around reading animated visual novels, customizing a personal avatar, and making pivotal choices that alter relationships and plot outcomes. Players manage 'passes' to read chapters and 'gems' to unlock premium choices or outfits, while the creative side offers professional-grade scripting tools to build entirely new worlds.
