Shared Storytelling

A shared story where everyone has a secret agenda.

Watch the drama unfold together, pursue private goals on your phone, and persuade the group to choose the outcome you want.

The Problem

TV & Movies

Netflix · Disney+

Great stories that people can experience together.

But the audience has no agency.

Social Games

Among Us · Jackbox

Fun multiplayer experiences with friends.

But they rarely tell meaningful stories.

Narrative Games

Life Is Strange · Episode

Deep characters and branching paths.

But they are usually played alone.

What’s Missing?

A shared story experience where groups of friends influence the outcome together.

Gameplay Loop

Watch. Strategise. Decide.

Every decision moves through the same three-part loop, combining one shared story with private information on each player’s phone.
