## 📖 "What is the use of a book without pictures or conversations?"

<img src="docs/readme/friend.png" alt="A wall of Alice's chapter 1 text with Tenniel's Alice in front of it" width="100%">

My best friend is dyslexic. A page is a wall. **A story is not.**

So ExpLit turns the wall into a world. You give it **a book**, **a look** and **an open-source game**, and you get back a new game that tells the book's story. Every line is spoken *and* subtitled. Nothing times you, nothing kills you, and you can't fail. And the game watches how it was played, so Gemini 4 Argon can come back later and fix whatever broke.
