Interactive novels thrive when settings play an active role in the story. AdventureBuildr allows you to create environments that respond to the reader’s choices and actions.

Dynamic Environments

• Create nodes tied to specific locations, allowing readers to explore areas in non-linear ways.
• Example: A reader can choose to investigate the library, dungeons, or tower of a castle in any order.

Setting-Based Challenges

• Incorporate environmental obstacles that require reader decisions to overcome.
• Example: Crossing a rickety bridge during a storm or navigating a maze in near darkness.

Hidden Details and Secrets

• Place hidden items, clues, or lore within settings to reward exploration.
• Example: A dusty tome in a forgotten corner reveals the villain’s motives.

Reasoning

Interactive settings deepen engagement by making the world feel alive and reactive. They also provide opportunities for storytelling beyond dialogue and plot.
