Interactive stories that put you in real-life situations. Peer pressure, bullying, relationships, substances. Every branch is a lesson. Every consequence teaches something no textbook can.
"It's Friday night. Marcus hands you a red cup. Everyone's watching. Your best friend took one five minutes ago and seems fine. The music is loud. Someone across the room catches your eye and smiles. Marcus says, 'Come on, it's just one.'"
You fit in tonight, but what happens at school Monday? What if someone recorded it? What does your coach say when they find out? Turn to page 34.
Marcus shrugs. But the person across the room walks over. "I don't drink either. Want to get out of here?" Sometimes saying no opens a better door. Turn to page 47.
Practice weighing options and consequences in low-stakes fiction before facing them in high-stakes reality.
Walk through scenarios from multiple perspectives. Understand why people make the choices they do.
Learn to say no, ask for help, set boundaries, and have hard conversations through realistic dialogue choices.
See how one decision cascades into others. Build the mental model that every choice has a ripple effect.
Not every path ends well. Learning to recover from bad outcomes in fiction builds real emotional strength.
Group reading modes let classrooms and families debate choices together, building teamwork and perspective-taking.
Each topic becomes a standalone story with dozens of branching paths. Start with one, collect them all.
LifePaths takes the most beloved book format ever created and points it at the decisions that actually shape a young person's life. Not dragons. Not dungeons. The hallway, the party, the group chat, the moment someone says "come on, everyone's doing it."
