Twine is a free, open-source tool for creating interactive, nonlinear stories. You can start without programming, then add variables, conditional logic, images, CSS, and JavaScript. The text-focused editor also supports sound and video. Built-in story formats—Chapbook, Harlowe, Snowman, and SugarCube—change the available features and coding approach. Twine publishes projects directly as HTML files for web hosting or private sharing, and readers open those stories in a browser without installing software. It runs in a browser and has desktop packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Cookbook includes guidance for publishing to Borogove.io and Itch.io and adding work to IFDB. Twine provides an editor reference, documentation, tips, and examples, with community help through the Interactive Fiction Community Forum and Twine Discord. Stories made with Twine may be used for any purpose, including commercial work. The reference notes that heavy multimedia can feel awkward and multiplayer requires substantial programming knowledge.
