Interactive story games on your phone

AlterPath is a free Android app of short choice-based stories. At each turn you choose what happens next—so the same story can end in more than one place. Sessions take minutes.

What makes a story “branching”?

Branching stories—also called interactive fiction or choose-your-own-adventure—let you pick what happens next. AlterPath brings that to short mobile sessions. For background on the form, see interactive fiction on Wikipedia.

Your choices change the story

In a normal story, the next scene is fixed. Here, you decide. Say yes or walk away. Tell the truth or keep a secret. AlterPath follows that choice into the next scene—so two people can play the same story and land somewhere different.

There is no score to chase. Just curiosity: what happens if you pick the other option? Finish a path once, then come back and take the road you skipped.

What kinds of stories you’ll find

The library mixes short adventures, everyday dilemmas, and playful “what if” scenarios. Some feel light and funny. Others ask you to weigh a tough call. All finish in a short session, with clear choices and endings that reflect how you played.

Made for short sessions

Open the app on a break, on the train, or before bed. Pick a story, tap through a few scenes, and reach an ending. Then try another—or send the same story to a friend and compare where you both ended up.

Fun takeaways—not a quiz

Some stories leave a playful line about how you played. The heart of AlterPath is still the story: choose a path, see where it leads, and try another when you’re ready.

Play alone or with friends

Solo play is enough. When you’re ready, challenge friends on a path, see their endings, and chat about the forks you took.
