59 novels you can play in the browser right now, and fork into the editor to make your own.
Branching novels that play in the browser with no account. Netwrck library novels are complete, playable scripts at different stages of production: 53 of the 59 novels have generated cover art; 59 novels play licensed music credited in the build; in-game backgrounds and character art are still generated placeholders throughout. Fork one and the art, music and voice tools in the editor fill in the rest. Author-published novels carry whatever their author gave them, and each card states its own art, audio and content notice below.
The Netwrck library novels are adult fiction: violence, addiction, the drug trade, psychiatric care, sex work adjacent coercion and infidelity. Sex scenes cut away at the door. Each entry shows the content notice its author wrote, which may be empty for an author-published novel.
