Hi there! Are you interested in making interactive fiction with Twine? Maybe you want to write a choose your own adventure, or a romantic story with branching paths?

Well, I've written a few tutorials to help you get started!

Each part is a small twine game that shows you a few new features you can use in Twine. You can get started making your own games at any stage, but each tutorial will give you some new tools to work with. To use them, follow the links, save the page, and then import it into Twine, which you can download at https://twinery.org/
