About this game

Step into Nightbranch, a library of choose-your-path storybooks where every page is illustrated and every choice is yours. Pick a path, turn the page, and find out where it leads. Some endings are happy. Some are not. You decide how brave you want to be.

Nightbranch reads entirely on your device. No account, no sign-in, and no internet needed once a book is on your phone. There is nothing to set up. Just open a book and start choosing.

— Choose your own way through —

Every book branches. Your choices steer the story and open hidden paths. Reach a bad end? Jump back and try another way. No two read-throughs have to be the same.

— Collect every ending —

Each book hides a whole set of endings to discover, some happy, some grim, and a few you will never see coming. The app keeps track of which ones you have found and which are still locked, as achievements to earn, with hints to point you toward the ones you missed. There is always a reason to go back, take a different turn, and read it again until you have unlocked them all.

— Spooky, made for kids —

Nightbranch tells creepy, exciting stories the way kids actually like them: a little scary, a little funny, and never gross. Think shadowy hallways, oddball mascots, and the thrill of a good fright, all drawn in a bright cartoon style. Made for older kids and up.

— Tap to bring it alive —

The pages are interactive. Tap around the picture and things happen. Fireworks burst over a building, lights flicker, a creepy mascot waves back at you. Little surprises reward readers who explore.

— Reading help built in —

Nightbranch reads the page aloud, one sentence at a time, highlighting the words as they are spoken so a young reader can follow along. Stuck on a word? Tap it to hear it read out and see a simple, kid-friendly definition. Reading help is on from the start and can be switched off anytime in Settings. It is a real reading aid for growing readers, and like everything else it works fully offline using your phone's own voice.

— A growing library —

Nightbranch launches free with full books to read right away, and new stories arrive over time. Unlock more books whenever you like. Each one downloads only when you choose it, so the app stays small on your phone.

— Made safe by design —

• No ads, ever.
• No tracking, no analytics, no social features, no chat.
• No accounts and no personal information collected.
• Reads offline once a book is downloaded.
• Read-aloud and word lookup run entirely on your device.

— Who it's for —

• Kids who love spooky stories and choosing their own way.
• Readers who would rather play a story than be told one.
• Anyone who grew up on pick-a-path gamebooks and wants that feeling again.

Open a book. Pick a path. See where the night takes you.
