“My name is Isaac Petrov, and SecretLit is the culmination of my three greatest passions: the world-building of a sci-fi author, the collaborative magic of tabletop role-playing games, and the creative challenge of software engineering. It’s the tool I always dreamed of having.”
A New Way to Dream
Have you ever finished a book and wished it wouldn’t end? Or fallen so in love with a character that you wanted to shape their destiny yourself? I built SecretLit to answer these questions. It’s not a book, and it's not a game. It's a new kind of creative experience: Personalized Literature.
Imagine a story that listens. A world that adapts to your every whim. You are a co-creator, whispering your desires to a magical storyteller that brings your imagination to life in a way that is intensely, intimately yours.
“I never thought romance was for me. But when I started building this, I gave myself permission to create one. I was stunned. I found myself obsessing over and falling in love with the characters. The emotional depth was a revelation. I was completely hooked.”
This became my obsession. I poured my craft as both a writer and an engineer into making SecretLit’s characters feel real. They aren't simple video game characters with limited paths; they have their own desires and agendas. They surprise you, challenge you, and make you *feel*.
Your Sanctuary for Imagination
That experience taught me the most important lesson: for creativity to be truly uninhibited, we need a sanctuary. We need a private space where we can explore our ‘guilty pleasures’ and innermost desires without any fear of judgment or prying eyes. This is why privacy is not a feature of SecretLit; it is its soul.
Everything you create is stored only on your device. I can't see it. I can't share it. That is my unbreakable promise to you.
The Future of the Campfire Story
Like many parents, it breaks my heart to see my own teenager drift away from reading. That ancient, immersive magic of a good book—the feeling of truly living inside its pages—has to compete with a world of instant feedback. This project is my answer. It’s my hope.
My second great discovery came while creating a story for my three-year-old nephew, letting him be the hero in his favorite fairy tale. I decided to add AI-driven illustrations. As an author, I’ve always been a purist—the words were all that mattered. But when I saw a unique illustration of a character *I* had helped create, in a place *I* had imagined, I was stunned at the sudden emotional connection! It made the story more tangible, more real.
“Seeing your own personal world visualized is a kind of magic you have to experience to understand. It’s an intimacy with story I never knew was possible.”
This is just the first chapter. I'm drooling just thinking about the future of this new, personalized medium—interactive video that puts you in the scene, dynamic soundtracks that match the mood of your story, and characters that remember you across all your adventures.
My commitment is to keep SecretLit at the very forefront of this new literary frontier. By joining now, you and your family are not just using an app; you are becoming pioneers in the future of storytelling itself.
I can't wait for you to experience the magic for yourself.
