Failbetter builds choice-based stories for the web that rely on text and strong narrative rather than moving images. Readers experience them through the browser, but the story can also communicate out-of-band in response to reader decisions, so characters in the story can communicate with readers through email or social media.
Failbetter builds
its own story to generate revenue directly; builds stories for clients (C4, BBC, O2, Random House) on the same platform; and has made the platform available to other creators (on a free / revenue share model).
