TEMPLATE — NOT LEGAL ADVICE Last updated: October 22, 2026.

The service

PickTheTwist publishes original interactive fiction. All stories are fiction, and any resemblance to real persons is coincidental.

Coins and passes

Coins are a virtual item used to unlock episodes. They are not money or cryptocurrency, have no cash value, and never expire. A Story Pass is a one-time digital purchase that unlocks every path of one story. Purchases are processed by Stripe; you receive digital access on this device after a successful payment.

Subscriptions (if offered)

Any plan will bill monthly or yearly, never weekly. You can cancel in one click from your account, and we will email you before each renewal.

Refunds

Digital goods policy: unused coin packs may be refunded within 14 days if unspent. Technical errors are refunded. Story Passes already used to unlock content are generally non-refundable except where required by law. See Fair pricing.

Acceptable use

Don't scrape, resell or redistribute our stories. Sharing clip cards and links is encouraged.

Age

You must be 13 or older. Some stories are rated 16+.
