Twine is a tool created by Chris Klimas for making interactive fiction in the form of web pages.

Software

Twine is open-source and available as a free download for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux; the software has been updated to a full new version since its initial release.[1] It is popular for developing hypertext narratives and games.

Twine emphasizes the visual structure of hypertext and does not require knowledge of any programming languages as other most game development tools do.[6] Nevertheless, it is regarded as a tool which can be used by anyone interested in interactive fiction and experimental games.[7][8]

Klimas and the Twine development team created a second version of Twine. Twine 2 is a browser-based application written in HTML5 and Javascript, which can also be downloaded as standalone desktop app. Twine also supports CSS.[6] It is currently in version 2.1.0, as of January 2017.[1]
