About Hyde & Seek:
The story doesn’t happen in front of you.
it happens to you.

Each chapter combines atmospheric environments, direct interaction with masked Book Boyfriends, story-driven puzzles, pursuit, tension, and the thrill of being chosen.

Why Should That Feeling Only Exist on the Page?
Dark romance readers know the feeling.
The chase. The tension. The danger that is really safety in disguise.

The Book boyfriends
They Are Not Just Performers.
They Are the Story.
The Book Boyfriends notice your choices, challenge your intentions, and pull you deeper into each chapter.
You do not simply meet them. You are noticed by them.
And once you are chosen, you do not forget it.
