Visual novels that live in your browser.

Branching stories with art, music, and choices that matter — to read on any device, and to create without writing a line of code.

sumi is invite-only while we build. Drop your email to a friend on the inside.

For readers

Stories you don't just read — you steer.

🌿

Every decision reshapes the story. Replay to find the paths you missed.

🎨

Backgrounds, characters, a soundtrack, and voiced lines — a full scene, not a wall of text.

📱

Read in the browser or on your phone. Your progress follows you, chapter to chapter.

For creators

🧩

Lay out scenes, dialogue, choices, and branches on a canvas. Drop in art and audio as you go.

🤝

Invite collaborators into the same project and edit side by side in real time.

🚀

Ship straight to readers on sumi — no build steps, no app store, no servers to run.

We’re letting people in a few at a time. If you have an invite code, you’re one step away.
