> Universe #1340
Text-based adventures to play with friends
A text-based game where you create and shape your own stories. Make a character, pick a world, and after every chapter decide what you do next. For groups of adventurous friends, or bold solo explorers.
Ever since humans learned to talk, we've told stories.
It's in our DNA.
Universe #1340 takes that storytelling spirit and spins it into an adventure shaped by you and your friends. You don't pick from a list of choices: you write what your character does, in your own words, and the next chapter is written from what everyone did. No two adventures are the same.
You can take it as seriously or as lightly as you want. A murder in a small town, a haunted house, a pirate who can't swim: every story is yours.
How it works
Seven chapters. Your moves.
01
Pick a world
Vampire streets, haunted houses, murders, the far old west... or design your own: type a plot, or roll the story dice for one.
02
Write your move
After every chapter, each player says what they do, in their own words. Use the relics in your backpack. Luck decides how well it goes.
03
Read what happened
The next chapter weaves everyone's moves together. Seven chapters later, you come home, if you survived.
Made for friends
A few minutes a day, together
While you can play solo, we designed Universe #1340 to connect people through stories. Having something to play daily with your friends is a great way to stay connected. If that something adapts to everyone's routine, even better.

Stay alive
Come home, or rest in peace
Your character has stamina. Bad luck, bad choices and missed chapters wear it down, and in the most dangerous worlds the story can kill. Survive and you bring home relics and extra points. Fall, and your next character carries on your dynasty.
Worlds
Pick a world, any world
Every adventure lands in a new reality of the kind you choose. A few of them:
Somebody did it
In here, there's always at least one murder and almost everyone has a motive.
Blood ties
Realities where vampires and humans share the streets, the bars and the bed.
The house
Every house in these worlds is a haunted house.
Neon rain
Rain-soaked megacities run by corporations, where memories, identities and body parts can be bought, leased or repossessed.
The long road
Old kingdoms, cursed objects and people taking very long journeys to get rid of them.
Out past the last star
Humanity went far, met company, and is no longer sure it was a good idea.
The meeting never ends
Realities made entirely of offices and the slow grind of the rat race. Bob is late again.
He is a pirate
Pirates who can't sail and can't swim, but still try to live the pirate life.
Design your own
Write the plot yourself, set the tone and the danger, or roll the story dice and see what comes out.
