Remember those fun choose your own adventure books from when you were a kid? Now, thanks to mobile developer Terence Eden, you can enjoy the same experience on Twitter. The game starts on an account called @wnd_go, stating that you've been found and your only choices now are to either run or hide.
To follow along with the adventure, users must click on the linked accounts, which will provide the next steps in the adventure. In total, there are 23 Twitter accounts involved in the interactive text-based game, so there's plenty of opportunity to play it through a couple times and get a different end result. Since it's Twitter, there's not a lot of story that can be told within 140 characters, but the adventure does promise all action.
