It’s important to note that the web browser address displayed while playing a game launched from Twine is specific to your computer and will not work for others. If you intend to share your story with other people, you’ll need to publish it.

PUBLISH

When you publish your story in Twine, it creates an HTML file that can be opened in a web browser. Use Publish to File from the Build tab. Twine will then ask you to choose a file name and location to save your published file.

You can upload your story file to a web server, file hosting service, or a platform that allows you to share web content. This could be a personal website, GitHub Pages, itch.io, Borogove or any other hosting service.
