iepub

Format

A publication format for interactive fiction, not just a save format for one tool.

iepub organizes interactive works around a manifest, story files, assets, and runtime resources that can be reasoned about independently. The goal is simple: the work should remain legible to humans and stable across reader, writer, and export steps.

Practical payoff

Why authors and developers care

A format with visible boundaries makes it easier to audit content, debug reader issues, package a work, or evolve a project over time. That is especially useful once the book includes multiple languages, custom assets, or reader-side tools. Decadence already demonstrates those benefits in a public route.
