For parents
A fixed library, not an improviser. Every scene, choice, and ending your child can meet tonight already exists in a fixed library of original fragments, written and reviewed before the site shipped. A small deterministic program deals them into each night’s combination — the same way a deck of story cards would — so nothing is made up on the spot while your child reads, and every release is automatically screened against the library’s gentleness rules before it goes out.
Kind by construction. The suspense is gentle (a fog, a shy door, a lost star), antagonists turn out to be lonely rather than wicked, and all eight endings of every story land somewhere warm. There is nothing to lose, no timer, and no wrong choice — different choices are just different tellings.
Private by design. The hero’s name is stored in your browser and nowhere else; the reading streak likewise. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, nothing typed is transmitted. The site works the same with JavaScript storage cleared — it just forgets the name.
The nightly rhythm. The story changes at midnight UTC and is identical for every family that night — which makes “what ending did you get?” a real conversation at school. A story runs about five minutes read aloud.
