Play Don Quixote — an interactive story where YOU are the hero

after the classic by Miguel de Cervantes, 1605

Put on the barber's basin as a helmet and ride out to repair the world. Tilt at giants that may be windmills, defend Dulcinea's honor, and drag honest Sancho into glory — or play Sancho, and keep your knight alive despite himself.

A moment from one playthrough

Thirty or forty lawless giants wave their great arms on the plain — Sancho swears on his beard they are windmills, wind and sail and nothing more. Rocinante paws the ground. Couch your lance and charge as the story demands, or humor Sancho and scout them first?

Live Don Quixote, don't just read it

In this interactive telling of Don Quixote, you don't read about the hero — you are the hero. The Storyteller keeps Miguel de Cervantes's world true to the original — its characters, its places, its mood, all held as canon — then narrates every scene aloud and draws the moment you're in as an ink illustration. You type or speak what you do next, and the world answers: it remembers the promises you made, the things you took, and the people you crossed. Follow Miguel de Cervantes's plot faithfully, or step off it and watch a brand-new version of Don Quixote unfold — one that still reaches a real ending.

How it works

The Storyteller holds the world of the book as canon — its characters, places and mood — and opens with you as the hero.
Type or speak anything: the world reacts, remembers, and stays true to the original's spirit.
Every playthrough is a brand-new story. Follow the plot — or break it and see what happens.
