๐ญ What is if.ro?
Interactive fiction
if.ro doesn't just offer stories to read, but experiences to live. Here you enter scenarios inspired by real life and make choices that change the course of the narrative. Each decision reveals different consequences โ some painful, others bright โ and puts you face to face with values that build or harm. The emotions that the story awakens don't stop on screen: they become themes for personal reflection. Instead of passively consuming an endless "feed", here you have the opportunity to pause, think, and learn from others' experiences.
Reflect on emotions and values
Stories on if.ro are not just imagination exercises, but spaces where emotions and values come to light. Choices lead to consequences that awaken joy, fear, guilt, or hope, and each experience becomes an opportunity to understand what we truly value. By reflecting on these emotions, we discover more clearly the values that guide us and how they influence our daily lives.
