PUM Companion

Play the Plot Unfolding Machine through an app, easier than ever!

The Plot Unfolding Machine is a game for playing other Role Playing Games by yourself (without a Game Master), also for storytelling, creative writing, and journaling. Create stories on the fly using your own imagination, a plot structure, and a set of random prompts.

PUM Companion allows you to play and track your adventures digitally. Write notes and journal your game, roll dice, keep track of your characters and plot nodes, advance your plot through Scene Beats, ask the oracles, and bring your storytelling adventures with you all along.

The rulebook of the Plot Unfolded Machine is recommended to enjoy the most of this app, particularly If you never did this hobby before. The app is however self-explanatory and has some basic instructions inside to get you going.
