An audio adventure that only moves when you do.
What it is
EpicStride is a motion-gated, branching audio drama for iPhone and Android. The narration advances only while the listener is walking, jogging, or running — stop, and the narrator stops mid-sentence and waits, resuming from that same line when you move again. At forks, listeners speak their choice aloud or tap. Every run branches toward good, bad, and secret endings, tracked on a constellation map, so the miles you put in change how the story ends.

The pitch, in a sentence
An audio adventure that only moves when you do — walk, jog, or run through Homer's Odyssey and Iliad, Stoker's Dracula, Shelley's Frankenstein, and the Hollow Road, where every mile earns the next scene and every choice is yours to make out loud.

- Dracula, complete — all four acts and the Crossroads epilogue, each playable as the human who tells it or as the Count. Act I, The Castle, is free; The Complete Dracula is a one-time purchase.

- Android — the same stories, the same motion gating, the same spoken choices, on Google Play.
