What it does
Brightwood Stories is a browser-based interactive fiction platform where readers make choices that shape the outcome of stories. It offers a small library of text-based narratives across multiple genres, with state-driven mechanics that track progress, scoring, and inventory. Stories are available in Belarusian, English, and Russian, and progress is saved between sessions.
