Hooked, an app that makes “chat fiction” on mobile, is making its first longform story on Snapchat. It’s a hybrid of science fiction, mystery, and thriller called “Dark Matter” that takes place in Silicon Valley, as reported by Variety.
In “Dark Matter,” a South Asian-American college student at Stanford investigates her twin sister’s mysterious death, while discovering that she has the ability to interact with dark matter. There are five installments to the story, and they’ll be released daily starting today and ending on October 30th. The stories will be translated into Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Norwegian. Snap and Hooked will share ad revenue from the series, Variety reports.
