Yarn Spinner is the friendly tool for writing dialogue in games. It's easy for writers to use, and has powerful features for programmers.

Yarn Spinner is a dialogue system that lets you write interactive conversations in a simple, screenplay-like format, which can be loaded into your game and run.

When a conversation is running, Yarn Spinner sends your game lines of dialogue to show, options to let the player choose from, and commands to make things happen in your scene.

Yarn Spinner has been used in thousands of amazing games, including Night in the Woods, A Short Hike, Lost in Random, Dredge, Frog Detective, Button City, Escape Academy, Baladins, and Unbeatable.
