About this app

PlayNook is the home of interactive audio books: stories you listen to and play as the main character.

An AudioGame is an experience halfway between an audiobook and an interactive fiction game. Professional voice actors narrate the story; you decide what happens next. Choose with a tap or simply speak your choice out loud!

HOW IT WORKS

• Listen: stories with voices, music and sound design
• Choose: at key moments the story stops and asks you to decide. Some choices are timed, some need an item you've found, some change your fate forever
• Roll the dice: some actions need luck. Roll a virtual 20-sided dice (D20). Tap it, or just say "Roll the dice!"

YOU ARE THE HERO

• Stats: earn Story Points with your choices, collect Gold, build skills like strength and charm
• Health: wrong choices can wound you. Lose all your health and it's game over, unless you've reached a checkpoint
• Your Bag: gather items in your Inventory, discover secrets in your Journal, unlock Badges as you play

REPLAY EVERYTHING WITH JOURNEYS (NEW)

Every chapter has up to 5 independent save slots called Journeys. Finish a story, then start a new Journey and take the paths you didn't dare take. Your stats, items and journal carry over from chapter to chapter within each Journey.

MADE FOR EVERY LISTENER

• Full accessibility: VoiceOver support, text-only or audio mode, adjustable text size, auto mode, voice speed control
• Download chapters and play offline. Perfect for commutes, travel and screen-free evenings

A GROWING CATALOG

Originals, partnerships and community stories across fantasy, mystery, horror, romance and more. New releases every month, plus Shorts: complete one-chapter adventures. First chapters are free. Start playing today.

Put on your headphones, speak and choose: the story is yours.

This app is ridiculous for charging $2.59 Canadian per chapter. It's far too expensive for the amount of content you get, and I wouldn't recommend it to others.

the one time this app worked it was pretty cool. but it didn't let me choose with my voice. so I had to roll the dice and let it choose for me. now after I install an open the app, it gives me a warning saying that, quote unquote, a download cannot be completed at this time. I have the option to retry, but even that doesn't work. I tried to go back, and then got left with a progress bar that doesn't even load. so I am very sad. but I hope it works this time.
