Over the weekend I felt nostalgic for classic anthology-style storytelling and wanted to see if I could create something new in that format. Rather than trying to imitate any specific show, I was interested in the broader idea of short speculative stories built around irony, choice, and unintended consequences.

I decided to experiment with AI as a storytelling tool. Going in, I expected the results to be fairly mediocre, but I was genuinely surprised by the output. Some of the stories — and even the generated images — were better than I anticipated and made me want to explore the idea further.

The result is Twisted Logic, a small choose-your-own-path anthology story generator. It can use Google’s Gemini models if you provide an API key, but I’ve also been working to make it function with free alternatives and allow people running local LLMs to point the project at their own models. By default it uses free generators and the browser’s built-in voice (which can be turned off).

The project is free to use and open source (https://github.com/anefiox/TwistedLogic). I mainly built it as a hobby experiment and a way to explore generative storytelling and interactive narrative design. If anybody wants some links to the some stories generated as ebups please let me know.
