What Your Story Interactive does

Your Story Interactive is an independent mobile and PC game development studio founded in 2017 and headquartered in Chișinău, Moldova, operating as Your Story Interactive SRL under Moldovan law with a globally distributed team. The company specializes in interactive story-driven games for consumer audiences, built around choice-based narrative mechanics where player decisions branch story outcomes. Its product portfolio centers on two core titles: Romance Club, a collection of interactive romantic stories with multiple serialized sub-narratives including Dracula: A Love Story, Heaven's Secret, and Legend of the Willow, and Zarya-1, a science-fiction survival horror text adventure set on the dark side of the Moon. Both franchises are distributed across mobile (iOS and Android), Steam, and a direct Windows PC download channel, targeting the global consumer gaming market.

Under the hood, the games are authored branching narrative experiences with hand-crafted storylines, choice-driven progression, and multiple romantic or genre paths per title. The company integrates standard consumer gaming infrastructure including Apple in-app purchase billing, PayPal, Google Play billing, and social login via Facebook and Google+. There is no disclosed AI, machine learning, or generative component to the technology stack in the available data; the differentiation rests on serialized narrative content rather than on proprietary engine technology.

Your Story Interactive operates a freemium business model, offering games free to download and play while monetizing through in-app purchases of virtual currency (coins, cash, tokens, points) and virtual items under a limited-use license. Primary customer segments are mobile gaming enthusiasts interested in interactive romance and sci-fi narratives, reached through global app store distribution and an organic social media presence spanning Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Pinterest, Threads, and Tumblr under both corporate and Romance Club sub-brand accounts. The company has 51–100 employees, two registered Moldovan office locations (Chișinău headquarters and Dubăsarii Vechi), and no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity in the available source material, leaving ownership structure as a data gap.
