Twine (software)

Twine is a free, open-source tool created by Chris Klimas for making interactive fiction and hypertext fiction in the form of web pages, first released in 2009 and available on macOS, Windows and Linux. It emphasizes the visual structure of hypertext, letting authors link passages together on a map-like canvas, and it does not require knowledge of a programming language the way many other game development tools do, though its Harlowe, SugarCube and other story formats support scripting for more advanced work. This accessibility has made Twine a widely used tool for anyone interested in interactive fiction and experimental games, from hobbyists to commercially released titles.
