What Y/n is and who it suits

Y/n is an interactive story game in which you play a character inside a story you help shape. Google Play rates it for ages 12 and over. Its stories cover romance, fanfiction, fluff and mystery, so it fits readers who like choosing what happens next rather than following a fixed book.

Each story starts with a premise, such as a boarding school student trying to win over several boys, or a jailbreak planned with Sherlock Holmes. From there, the story follows the choices you make.

Playing a character and making choices

You act as the main character and respond to what the other characters say and do. Your replies are typed as text, and the developer states that these texts drive the plot.

Your texts also affect how characters feel about you, so a romance can move toward or away from a given character depending on how you respond.

How replays and rewinds work

According to the listing, no two playthroughs of the same story are alike, because the plot responds to your texts. You can rewind a playthrough, which lets you go back and try a different response.

Rewinding is what makes replaying a story practical, since the same premise can lead to a different ending depending on what you write.

Finding stories in the community library

The app offers a library of stories made by other users, which the developer puts at more than 10 million. Stories are grouped by mood and genre, including romance, fanfiction, fluff and mystery.

If you want a story with a particular setup, browsing the library is the listed way to find one that fits.

Writing and publishing your own stories

If none of the existing stories suit you, you can write a story of your own and publish it to the library. This lets you set the premise, characters and plot yourself, and other users can then play it.

The listing presents this as the way to fill gaps in the library, so the stories available depend partly on what the community has written.
