Storyfall

HTML Export

Export your story as a self-contained HTML file that plays offline in any web browser. No internet connection, no account, no dependencies required.

Features

The exported HTML file includes everything needed for a complete reading experience:

  • Full story playback with scenes, choices, variables, conditions, and effects.
  • Dark mode with a built-in toggle for reader preference.
  • Save and resume using the browser’s localStorage.
  • Variable notifications displayed as toast messages when values change.
  • Mobile-friendly responsive layout that works on phones, tablets, and desktops.
  • Zero dependencies - a single .html file with no external resources.

How to Export

  1. Open the Export tab in Story Settings, or click the ellipsis on a story row in the Workshop.
  2. Click “Export as HTML”.

The export uses your current draft content, so make sure your latest edits are saved before exporting.

Language Support

The exported HTML file sets the correct <html lang> attribute based on your story’s primary language. For example, a story written in Spanish will have <html lang="es">.

Translations are not currently embedded in the HTML export. The exported file uses the primary language content only.

Limitations

The HTML export is a static snapshot of your story. Some Storyfall features aren’t included:

  • No multiplayer - vote-based and cooperative multiplayer require playing on storyfall.com.
  • No analytics - play statistics aren’t tracked.
  • No audio - background music and sound effects aren’t included.
  • No translations - only the primary language content is included.
  • Static snapshot - the export reflects your story at the time of export and doesn’t update if you edit the story later.

For the full interactive experience with all features, publish your story on Storyfall instead.

JSON Backup

In addition to HTML export, you can export your story as a JSON file from the same Export tab. The JSON format is useful for:

  • Backup - keep a complete copy of your story data.
  • Transfer - move a story between Storyfall accounts using the import feature.
  • Archival - preserve your work in a structured, machine-readable format.
