About

Sequence is a no-code platform for interactive, choice-driven storytelling. Creating branching narratives has always required technical skill or inefficient tools, which discourage the majority of writers who just want to tell compelling stories. Meanwhile, readers have no dedicated home for discovering this genre. Sequence bridges both sides by making creation accessible to any writer and building a community where fans of choose-your-own-path stories can find and share immersive experiences.

Product

Sequence provides a drag-and-drop story editor and a reader-facing discovery platform in one place. Writers use the no-code canvas to build branching narratives, connect story nodes, and publish without writing a single line of code. Readers browse and play through choice-driven stories directly on the platform, with their decisions shaping the outcome. The tight integration between creator tools and the reader experience fosters a community around the genre.
