Quinn knows where they are. He won't tell you — but he will, when you arrive.
There's no map. No list. No badges to collect for showing up where someone told you to. Just Quinn, listening for the moments when you've come within reach of somewhere worth telling a story about.
Driving cross-country. Hiking a trail you've never walked. Pulled into a rest stop because the dog needed out. The app doesn't ask you to do anything different — keep moving the way you were going to anyway.
When you've stopped within reach of one of the hidden story locations — a forgotten cemetery, the ruins of a town that drowned in 1948, the bridge a legend says fell into the river — your phone buzzes. Once. Quietly. Like a tap on the shoulder at a campfire.
Tap the notification and Quinn tells you what happened here. Three to five minutes. Then it's yours — it shows up in your library, where the others you've found are waiting. Skip it and it stays hidden. You can always come back, but Quinn won't bring it up again.
Every story is anchored to a real place with a real history — backed by archives, ethnographic records, and named sources. Folklore is told as folklore. Tragedy is told plainly. Legends that turned out to be true are told as both.
Drawn from ethnographic record. Always told as the people who told them would have. Never repackaged for the audience.
You'll stand somewhere ordinary and learn what was there before. Sometimes you'll be standing on top of it.
The dates, the names, the survivors. No dramatization — these stories don't need any.
Quinn tells you who claimed it, who didn't, and where the legend has held its ground.
Stories that don't have endings. Sometimes the silence at the end is the whole point.
Quinn names them when he can. When he can't, he says so — and then he tells the story they didn't get to tell.

Your phone's location framework checks against the bundled list. No server call, no upload, no record kept of where you went.
The list of stories you've unlocked is on your phone. It's not synced. It's not in our database. It's yours.
Drop your email and we'll let you know the day Quinn's first batch of stories goes live. No spam, no marketing — just one note when there's something to find.
