FAQ
What is Universe #1340?
A text-based story game for iPhone. You create a character, pick a world (or design your own) and play an adventure of seven chapters. After every chapter, each player writes what their character does, and the next chapter is written from everyone's moves.
How many people can play an adventure?
From one to four. Play solo, or open a portal as a group adventure and send your friends its six-letter join code.
Do my friends need an account?
No. Someone you invite with a join code can play as a guest. If they sign in with Apple later, they keep their character.
How often do chapters arrive?
You choose when you open the portal: every 24, 12 or 4 hours, or as soon as everyone has answered. Playing solo, the next chapter can come the moment you send your move. The app lets you know when a new chapter is out.
What happens if I don't answer in time?
Missing a chapter costs your character stamina. Miss too many and they won't make it home.
Can my character die?
Yes. Stamina goes down with bad luck, bad choices and missed chapters, and in the most dangerous worlds the story itself can kill. Fallen characters rest in the Cemetery with an epitaph, and your next character carries on your dynasty.
Why didn't my move go as planned?
Luck. Every chapter your character rolls the dice, and the roll decides how well your moves go: a bad roll can turn a good plan into a disaster, a great one can hand you something unexpected.
What are relics?
Objects you find on your adventures. You keep them on your shelf at home and can pack up to three in your backpack for the next adventure, and use them in your moves. If your character dies, their relics go to the Museum.
What are points for?
The Hall of Fame. Good moves earn points every chapter, coming home earns more, and surviving the deadliest worlds earns a lot more.
Is it for kids?
No. The app is rated 18+: some worlds are horror, and some stories are for adults.
Is it on Android?
Not yet. iPhone comes first; Android is planned.
