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.

Our current titles are interactive fiction, crafted for readers who demand more from a book than a single path, a single truth, a single ending. It's where we started — not where we stop.

"We believe the most powerful stories are the ones that make you forget you're reading — the ones that make you choose, and live with the consequences."

The Hiker

by Deshan B. Dissanayake

Sri Lanka's first 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."

The Thief

by Deshan B. Dissanayake

Five million rupees. Three days. Mr. V pays well. This job is different. Steal a manuscript and a golden lotus artifact. Get in — and out — of Glenrock Bungalow, a colonial ruin dressed up as a wellness retreat in the mist above Nuwara Eliya. Stealth. Lies. Violence. Choose how you become the thief.

"Whatever you find beneath Glenrock
has been waiting far longer than you've been alive."

Understanding the Format

What makes our interactive fiction
different from the rest?

Most interactive books give you separate worlds for each choice. Our interactive titles operate differently — one world, one timeline, infinite perspectives.

The Usual Approach

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.

Our Approach — 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.
