Escape From The Billings Mall: A Select Your Own Timeline Adventure

Chuck Tingle presents a choose-your-own-adventure narrative set within The Billings Mall during a reported timeline tear near the lake. This work belongs to the Tingleverse, blending science fiction with horror elements to create an interactive experience where the reader determines the plot path. The story begins with a parent rushing to buy a birthday gift before the store closes, only to encounter inner dimensional events that challenge police assurances of safety. Readers must decide whether to befriend a velociraptor aware of its fictional nature, confront a reverse twin that demands skin, or explore the food court and manager’s office for escape routes. The book contains multiple endings and consequences based on these choices. It is organized as a non-linear text where decisions lead to different scenarios rather than a single continuous narrative. This format requires active participation from the audience to uncover the various outcomes available in this cosmic Void exploration. This title suits fans of interactive fiction, meta-fiction, and unconventional horror who enjoy breaking the fourth wall. It may not appeal to readers seeking traditional linear storytelling or those uncomfortable with body horror themes involving skin removal. The work stands as a distinct entry in Tingle’s bibliography, emphasizing reader agency over passive consumption.
