In a nostalgic twist, the beloved ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ books from the 1980s and 1990s are making a comeback through an innovative device called the Ink Console. This e-ink handheld device is not just a reader but a gaming platform designed for both reading and playing these interactive stories.

As Daniel Pucha (who prefers to be called Dana) aims to reignite interest in reading with this device, he collaborates with developer Rafa Laguna to create an experience that transcends mere reading. Users will be able to buy small cartridges to insert into their consoles to engage with unique narratives, giving life to the classic format of interactive storytelling.

With an impressive 7.5-inch screen and a robust battery, the Ink Console promises to bring a modern touch to the traditional adventure format. While it may look like a simple e-reader at first glance, its functionality as a game creation tool will allow users to craft their own stories, expanding the horizons of interactive literature.

While awaiting the crowdfunding campaign to launch, it’s clear that the spirit of adventure reading isn’t dying out—it’s evolving.
