FMV games
Choose-your-own-adventure videos
Training modules
Educational lessons
Marketing demos
Interactive quizzes
Visual novel-style experiences
Mystery, horror, comedy, and narrative experiments

Key Features

Interactive Hotspots
Place clickable areas on videos or images. Hotspots can open links, display text, play audio, jump to another video or image, trigger dialogue, or run variable actions.

Multi-Trigger Hotspot Menus
A single hotspot can contain multiple possible actions. Hover over a hotspot to reveal a menu of choices, each with its own label, action, and optional visibility condition.

Branching Story Editor
Plan and organize your interactive project visually with a node-based story editor. Connect scenes, create decision points, and structure your narrative flow.

Quizzes and Learning Interactions
Add quiz questions into videos with correct and incorrect outcomes, branching logic, and score-style interaction options.

Quick Time Events
Create timed choice moments where players must respond before the countdown expires. Each choice can lead to different outcomes.

Visual Novel / RPG-Style Dialogue
Build dialogue sequences with speaker names, text pages, optional avatar images, multiple screen positions, and branching dialogue choices.

Variables and Conditions
Create logic-driven projects using variables. Show or hide choices, trigger different outcomes, and build simple IF/ELSE-style interactive flows.

Return-to-Choices Dialogue Loops
Dialogue choices can return players back to the decision page after performing an action, allowing repeatable conversations, investigation menus, clue systems, and RPG-style branching dialogue.

Audio Interaction
Import audio files and attach them to hotspots or image-based scenes. Use sound effects, narration, music, or interactive audio cues.

Customizable Player Theme
Customize the look of quiz popups, QTE overlays, text popups, and dialogue windows so exported projects match your style.

Image and Video Support
Create projects using videos, images, and audio together. Image-only projects are supported, allowing slideshow-style interactive experiences and visual novel projects.

Export Options
Export your project as a browser-playable ZIP package or as standalone desktop apps for Windows and macOS.
