A laptop showing a Tohil story turn: prose, three choices, and the character's hearts

Every story is a shareable living being.

A world is planted, played and then sealed. Share your Tohil Story Files with your friends and let them have their own custom ending based on their actions!

Seed

The initial state.

A seed contains all the initial information about your world and story, your environment, character, plot threads and more. Bring your favourite character or world to life.

World Characters Opening scene Initial inventory Narration instructions
Sprout

Your mid-play story.

A sprout is the living record of your playthrough: it contains the narrated story, your choices, your actions and the information to move your play into another device.

Hearts Inventory Weather Plot threads Time of day
Tree

Your finished story.

A tree is your playthrough once it ends, sealed and read-only: it keeps every turn you played, the ending you reached and the world you left behind. Nothing can change it, but you can share it, or grow a sequel that remembers all of it.

Every turn kept Its ending Sealed for good Sequel-ready

Infinite scenarios, items, abilities for you to play with.

Every object, person, creature and ability is mapped with pixel sprites. When your character picks up a sword it is a sword.

Spritework is a work in progress, and falls back to an emoji if your story demands something else.

Wish it. The world bends.

Step outside the story whenever you like and ask for anything. When you decide something, mention it to the Game Master and watch it apply to your story!

Heaven's voice granting a shepherd girl wings of her own: bold, but the sky already answered you once today.

Consequences for your actions

The story remembers what you do and pays it back, good or bad. Wrap your cloak around a freezing stranger? You never know who is under that hood. Feed laxatives to the pier seagulls for a laugh? Enjoy your outfit's new colour!

Built for listening & Reading

Tohil can narrate your story aloud using your favourite voice. Put the phone down, let the narration carry and tap your action when the turn ends.

Your story follows you in your commute, while you cook or work. Tohil gives you an infinite audiobook with endless possibilities.
