The White Room
Free Mystery/Detective
You wake up in a room, alone and scared. A voice cracks over the intercom, a man named "Steve" introduces himself. Such a banal name for your captor. Figure out how to get out of this nightmare, or be lost to the darkness forever. Note: This is the story that also serves as a demo on the Storyfall landing page.

🧟 ZOMBIE HORROR QUEST
Free Zombie Apocalypse
A mysterious virus has spread across the city. Humans have turned into zombies, with only a handful remaining alive. The player awakens alone in a dark building, trying to understand what happened and survive. Each step is a choice. Each choice is fate. The participant navigates through various dangerous locations: dark corridors, basements, abandoned rooms, and zombie-infested streets. Only the right decisions will lead them to safety, while a wrong choice means death.
