Multic is a platform positioned as "multiplayer interactive comics," officially described as a "multiplayer comics platform where creators collaborate with AI," with the goal of building interactive storytelling with node-graph narrative, real-time collaboration, and unlimited possibilities. Its core idea is "stories played together," emphasizing that it is not just a publishing platform but a stage: creators build branching comics in Studio, readers play them in the iOS app, and choices, reactions, and endings flow in real time within rooms, forming interactive stories that were difficult to achieve before.
[Purpose] Multic is aimed at creators and readers who want to create and experience branching interactive comics. It offers two main product surfaces: Studio, a web tool for creators, and the iOS app for readers (the reader app). The platform also includes a Browse feature, offering Multic Originals, creator picks, and trending stories from the network.
[Main Capabilities]
- Branching panels: every panel can branch, and readers tap to make choices, which ripple through the room in real time.
- Real-time rooms: friends can join the same story room, vote on choices, react inline, or split up and compare endings afterward.
- Cross-device continuation: supports continuing reading across iPhone, iPad, and the web, with time spent, followers, and friends counting toward a Multic identity.
- Reader app: a vertical narrative player with full-bleed cover art, branching panels, real-time rooms, and a tab bar that does not interfere with reading. Choices, votes, and reactions sync in milliseconds; posters continue across screens; content uses editorial curation rather than algorithmic noise, and every Original is hand-arranged.
- Creator canvas (Studio): a web-based production tool with a visual canvas, node graphs for multiplayer story logic, and real-time preview that communicates with the iOS app. The node graph requires no code and supports splitting, merging, and gating panels; supports vertical-first storytelling, allowing art to be dragged in, dialogue to be written, and choice points to be marked; rooms can be opened, friends invited, and players watched browsing the story in real time; one-click publishing to Multic means stories appear in Browse as soon as they are ready.
[How to Use] Readers log in once on iOS and can browse Multic Originals, creator picks, and trending stories from the network; while reading, they tap panels to make choices, can join friends' story rooms to vote and react, or explore separately and then compare endings; reading progress continues across iPhone, iPad, and the web. Creators use the Studio web tool to build storylogic through the visual canvas and node graph, use real-time preview linked with the iOS app, and publish with one click when finished.
[Applicable Scenarios] Suitable for interactive narrative creation, branching comics reading, playing together among friends and comparing different endings, continuous reading across devices, and similar scenarios. The platform emphasizes no ads, no meaningless scrolling, and editorially curated content.
[Limitations] Official materials do not provide information on pricing, costs, specific AI feature details, a complete list of supported platforms (currently explicitly mentioning the iOS app and web tools), system requirements, or usage restrictions, and none is available for now.
