Play Little Women — an interactive story where YOU are the hero

after the classic by Louisa May Alcott, 1868

Take Jo's place among the March sisters — the plays in the attic, the manuscript in the fire, Laurie's question you know is coming. Keep the family together through the war winter, and answer for your own ambition without apology.

A moment from one playthrough

Amy stands too near the fire, your only manuscript curling to ash in the grate — years of work, burned for spite. She's already crying. Laurie's sleigh bells ring outside on the ice. Forgive her now, or let her follow you skating and learn what thin ice means?

Live Little Women, don't just read it

In this interactive telling of Little Women, you don't read about the hero — you are the hero. The Storyteller keeps Louisa May Alcott'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 Louisa May Alcott's plot faithfully, or step off it and watch a brand-new version of Little Women 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.
