Kocho - Play Make Visual Novels for Android

Introducing Kocho — mobile toolkit for interactive stories

Kocho is a free mobile app that lets you both craft and enjoy interactive narratives on Android and iOS. It’s designed so anyone can be a storyteller or a reader: you can build a new story world, populate it with characters, and then play through the scenes you create.

What you can do with Kocho

• Customize the atmosphere of your scenes with backgrounds, character art, and music.
• Create branching paths by offering players meaningful choices that change the outcome.
• Edit the dialogue and on-screen text to give each character a distinct voice.
• Work entirely offline when constructing or playing stories, then publish wherever you like.
• Use the app on either Android or iPhone without paying — Kocho is free and straightforward.

How creating a story works

Begin by adding the characters and visuals you want. Arrange the flow of scenes, insert dialogue lines, and attach music or sound effects to set mood. Add decision points where the player selects options, and preview the narrative to test pacing and branching before you share.

Distributing and experiencing your work

Once your story is complete, you can export or share it across platforms so friends and players can enjoy it. Kocho supports local playback, so people can play without an internet connection, but sharing options let you distribute your finished app-like story broadly.
