Interactive stories - or stories in which the reader has tools to influence the story in some way, are fun to play, engaging, and have a lasting impact on readers. Having to make choices and imagining different outcomes to these choices forces us to use our imagination, thus allowing us to connect better with the story that we are experiencing.
We strongly believe that the future of interactive stories is in developing novel ideas where user’s interactions happen through multiple mediums such as physical and digital, or paper and light.
Red + Blue Stories, run by Karl Kim and Julie Puech, is a couple of creatives’ endeavours to craft interactive, cross-media storytelling experiences with compelling narratives that spark excitement and wonder.
From our home in Squamish, BC, we explore ways to tell stories that let readers be fully immersed. We develop products that explore how different format interact with each other, that question common storytelling format, and most of all that let users make choices!
We have a lot of imagination and many stories we want to tell… though when it came to naming our studio, we just went by the colour of our hair!
We do everything ourselves - from writing to illustration to hand-drawn animations to the development of our companion apps! We sketch a lot, try many concepts, and ultimately get joy from bringing interactive experiences to life!
It’s been a fun journey, and it has become a beautiful human endeavour as we experience to see the joy our interactive products bring to little humans (and bigger ones too!).
