About the Publisher

Stories the world
hasn't heard yet.

Alura Books is a Sri Lankan publisher dedicated to voices, genres, and formats that Sri Lankan literature has never explored. We don't follow trends — we start them.

Starting with interactive fiction, our titles are crafted for readers who demand more from a book than a single path, a single truth, a single ending.

The Hiker

හයිකර්

by Deshan B. Dissanayake

Sri Lanka's first adult Sinhala interactive survival thriller. You travel to a remote jungle near an abandoned village called Rassikanda. You are the protagonist. Every choice you make determines whether you survive — but no single path reveals the full truth.

"This is not a book you read.
It's a nightmare you survive."

Understanding the Format

What makes The Hiker
different from every other CYOA?

Most interactive books give you separate worlds for each choice. The Hiker operates differently — one world, one timeline, infinite perspectives.

Traditional Choose Your Own Adventure

Separate worlds for every choice

←

You go left → You encounter an elephant. In this branch, the elephant exists only because you went left.

→

You go right → You find a tiger. Completely different world. The elephant never existed here.

Each path is an isolated story. The world only exists where the reader looks.

The Hiker — One World, Every Path

One world. Events happen whether you witness them or not.

←

You go left → You come face to face with the elephant. You experience the encounter directly.

→

You go right → You see the elephant pass in the distance. It was always there. You just weren't looking.

The full truth only emerges across multiple playthroughs. No single path shows you everything.
