Break the story.
Inspired by the legendary choose-your-own-adventure books of the 80s and 90s, the Playbook series brings the magic of classic interactive fiction into the modern digital era.
In "The Meridian", you step directly into the shoes of a driven reporter working for The Meridian, a prominent news outlet in the heart of Milan.
A massive investigative scoop is within your reach, but the newsroom is a battlefield of ambition, secrets, and unspoken desires.
There are no right or wrong answers—only choices and consequences.
Will you ally yourself with the brilliant but ruthless Filippo to advance your career?
Will you impress Irene, the formidable editor who respects courage but despises laziness?
And how will you navigate your complex, blooming romances with your female colleagues?
From Sara and her mysterious notebook, to Giada the undercover gamer, to Mara and her untold secrets—your relationships are in your hands.
