What is Ficdown?

Ficdown is a choice-based, interactive fiction engine built on top of the Markdown formatting syntax. It enables the creation of interactive stories where readers can make decisions that drive the narrative. Formatting of text is achieved using standard Markdown elements, with certain components like level-two headings serving to define distinct scenes. This approach allows writers to focus on the narrative and storytelling, leveraging a familiar and lightweight markup language to structure the interactive experience
