# Start Game

> Open a script from the catalog, read the background, and enter the story.

## 1. Find a script

Browse the home page or use the topic filters. You can also search by script title and select a card.

</Frame>

Look at the image, script type, play count, likes, favorites, creator, and publish time before opening the details.

## 2. Read the details

The details page shows the title, tags, summary, creator, interaction buttons, and two ways to enter:

* **Start New Game** begins from the beginning.
* **Load Save** continues an existing save.

</Frame>

You can like or favorite the script here. Following the creator is separate from saving this script.

## 3. Read the story background

After you select **Start New Game**, the app shows the story background first.

</Frame>

This page introduces the people, place, and immediate problem. It is reading material, not a form or a choice.

## 4. Enter the game

After the opening, the interaction page lets you write what your character says or does. You can also open **Recommended Actions**.

* The top bar opens logs, location, display mode, and exit options.
* The center shows the current story.
* The bottom input area sends speech or an action.
* The right side shows the current character, turn, inventory, and menu.

If you already started this story, return to its details and choose **Load Save**.
