Somni Tales

How to turn any book into an interactive story you can play

You don't need any tools, coding, or writing skill to turn a book into an interactive story. With an AI Storyteller like Somni Tales, it takes about a minute. Here's exactly how.

  1. Pick the book you want to live. Choose any story — a classic like Dracula or Alice in Wonderland, a fairy tale, or a world of your own. The more specific the title, the more faithfully the world is built.
  2. Type its exact title. On the home page, type the title into the play field. Picking the exact title (and author, if you like) tells the Storyteller which world to hold as canon.
  3. Step in as the hero. The book opens and the first scene is narrated aloud. You're not a reader now — you're the main character, standing inside the story's opening moment.
  4. Say what you do next. Type or speak your action in plain words. The world reacts, remembers what you did, and stays true to the book's spirit — its characters, places and mood.
  5. Play to a real ending. Keep making choices. Follow the original plot or break from it; either way the tale builds to a genuine ending, and every playthrough is different.

Do I need to be a good writer?

No. You only ever type what you'd do next, in ordinary words — the Storyteller writes all the prose, describes the scene, and reads it aloud. If you can describe an action, you can play.

What if the book isn't a classic?

It still works. Public-domain classics have their own landing pages, but typing any title at all — modern, obscure, or invented — builds that world on the spot. You can even start from a premise instead of a title.

How much does it cost?

Nothing to try: 10 diamonds are free when you confirm your email. After that you spend a few diamonds per choice, with packs from $5 and no subscription — and built-in pacing brings each tale to an ending before it can run away with your wallet.

Can I play in another language, or aloud?

Yes to both. Every scene is narrated aloud word by word, and stories play in 26 languages. There's also a hands-free mode that reads each scene and then listens for your spoken answer.
