Story openings
Each opening is a complete scene: characters, conflict, and a first move. Open it in Studio to change who you are, how relationships work, and where the plot goes — then read chapter by chapter or play through your choices.

An opening is just the starting point. Change who the protagonist is, how relationships work, what the rules allow, and how fast the story moves — later chapters try to follow what you set.
Gender, identity, who you trust, who you love, who you refuse to forgive.

Sweet or angsty, fast payoff or slow burn, more romance or more intrigue.
