Interactive Mystery Stories
An interactive mystery story lets you play the investigator: you choose who to question, which lie to call out and which clue to chase, and the story remembers every answer you got. Wimbook's mysteries mix a puzzle with romance or fantasy, and each book keeps its secret on the server, so the truth is fixed while your path to it is your own.
Because you can type your own move, you are not limited to the three options on screen. Bluff, search a room, or say nothing and watch who fills the silence.
