Iosif Albu
Founder & Writer
I have always wanted to make my own game. Well, now I went ahead and did it :) I have read probably hundreds of books and then I discovered gamebooks. I played them all. Now, here I am, writing gamebooks.
Maria
Writer
I was born creative. I draw and paint and I like mandalas a lot. My stories are darker than you would expect.
Zitara
Writer
I'm a big fan of interior designing, with lots of years of experience. A story is very much like a big house where you take the reader on a journey. I'm working on the Siren of the Seventh Realm at the moment.
Our Story
Trueself Games was founded in Germany with a simple mission: to create the gamebooks and interactive fiction we always wanted to play.
We craft choice-driven story adventures—gamebooks, text-based adventures, and choose-your-own-adventure experiences—where every decision matters and every path tells a different tale.
Our games are built for a global audience at trueselfgames.org, with stories available in five languages. Whether you're a seasoned interactive fiction fan or new to the genre, we're making something for you.
The Beginning
It started, as many adventures do, with running out of stories to play.
After devouring every gamebook and interactive fiction title he could find, Iosif Albu—a software developer with a love for playable stories—decided to create his own. What began as a side hobby quickly grew into something bigger.
Today, Trueself Games focuses on what we love most: meaningful choice, narrative depth, and stories that stay with you long after the final page.
