> Where to browse, what the world page and the character page show, and what Play does.

Some people fall for one character, and some want a whole place to live in. Lunafic gives you both doors, and both lead to a story of your own.

## Where to look

Discover shows worlds and characters to start with. Worlds lists every Playable World, Characters lists faces to meet, and Search finds something specific. The covers and faces come first on purpose, because you choose with your eyes before you read.

## The world page

The world page shows the cover, a one-line pitch, who made it, and the characters you will meet. It also shows the roles you can play and a hint of the endings waiting to be found, so you know what kind of story this is before you start.

The main button says Play. If you already started this world, it says Continue and takes you back to your latest story, and a smaller New path button starts another story in the same world.

## The character page

The character page is about one person, with their face, personality and the worlds they live in. Press Play on it and you enter that character's world, with the character already on stage in your first chapter.

## What Play does

- It creates your own story. **Your story starts with an empty Chapter 1. Your chapters and replies belong to you.**
- It leaves the world alone. **The author keeps the characters, rules and lore. You read them, and the AI uses them, but you cannot change them.**
- It asks who you are. **Before the first scene you pick a role, or play as yourself.**

If you are not signed in, Play takes you to sign up first, then brings you back to the same moment.

[Next, choose who you are.](/docs/entering-a-playable-world)
