Twine Stories

Twine is an open-source tool for telling interactive,  nonlinear stories."     It requires a little programming, but not much. It is sort of like javascript. 

I've been writing a game for a Murder Mystery Party and I was thinking that access to an interactive story might really enhance the game experience. Below is my test story to see how the software works. 

The story should take about 10 minutes to read. Enjoy! ​

When editing the text, you add content, but also links to other passages. Below on the right you can also randomly choose which passage to show the reader. There are lots of other branching options including setting flags and checking them later.
