Subtext - Phone diaries

Subtext is still in beta, so everything currently available is free. When the supporter catalog launches, Meet Ai-chan will remain free and every player will be able to choose two Originals to keep. Supporters at eligible Patreon tiers will unlock the full catalog. Creating, exporting, and sharing your own stories will remain free. Community-story imports are also free during beta, though they will eventually be limited on the free tier. Every story is someone's phone in your hands: their messages, their photos, their socials, their bad decisions at 2 AM. You read, you reply, you choose, and the story goes where you push it. Official stories written by us and expanded through regular updates with new chapters, routes, endings, and terrible decisions. Movie Night — A complete seven-chapter story with several endings shaped by your choices. Movie night is every Thursday. You’re not invited. That might be exactly what you wanted. Only Goth — A complete six-chapter story about your roommate Nora and the secret account she thought nobody would recognize. My Beautiful Neighbor — An ongoing story about a new apartment, a window across the courtyard, and a neighbor who knows exactly when you’re watching. Meet Ai-chan — A free six-chapter interactive tutorial. Ai-chan will show you everything this phone can do. Everything. ❤️ Stories made by players with the same engine and the same Studio used for our Originals. And honestly? Some of the best stories on this platform won’t be ours. The same tools we use to make the Originals.. Free, forever. The same authoring system behind the Originals. Built directly into Subtext. Free, forever. Build branching stories told through messages, photos, videos, social media, locations, and everyday phone apps. Create characters, private or group conversations, reader replies, conditions, triggers, routes, and endings. Let readers explore a phone that already feels lived in, with messages, gallery media, contacts, social posts, locations, and items waiting to be discovered before they send their first reply. Features include: Private and group conversations Meaningful choices, conditions, branches, routes, and endings Triggered messages, events, and chapter progression Photos, videos, audio, SMS Moments, and full-screen Live Moments Relationships, affection scores, and player skills Gallery, Camera, Contacts, and custom wallpapers OverFaunt profiles, posts, subscriptions, comments, likes, and reposts NozaMart gifts, Bank transfers, and GPS locations Preloaded conversations, media, posts, items, and secrets Everything the Originals can use is available in Studio too. No code required. If you can write a text message, you can write a story. Export your Story as a single .subtext file, then publish it through itch.io’s mod system using the subtext-story tag. That’s where players can discover and download Community Stories. The official Community Stories publishing guide explains the complete process, from exporting your Story to setting up its itch.io page. During beta, anyone can import a Community Story. Once installed, it plays inside Subtext just like an Original: same phone, same apps, same possibilities. Tag the genres. Tag the kinks. Warn readers about the dark stuff. And read the rules before publishing: Ai-chan remembers everything. 18+ All characters are fictional adults. Ai-chan checked. Twice.
