Curve is an interactive roleplay story within the Mythos Unbound collection, written by Grand_Tarkin. Premiering on 26 March, Curve is to be the first choose-your-own adventure roleplay story. The first question directs readers to decide which room of the nightclub the main character should go to.
In Curve, readers make decisions for the main character, the young history student Elise Krige, who is distracted from her end of term assignments by a friend who wishes to hang out at the new nightclub called Curve. Other (non-playable) characters include Greg Gay, Elise's roommate and friend.
Grand_Tarkin has said that Curve's interactivity will be very strong, stating that the outcome of the story will certainly depend on the decisions made by readers. Readers will be given a choice of options, ranging in extremity, for how the main character responds to the events occurring around her. The story is said to be half-drafted, with final writings occurring after each vote has occurred. The aim for the production is to get a short instalment published everyday or every other day.
