The Story

CHECKPOINT REACHED: Greetings from an alternate timeline. Thank heavens this is not written by AI. The humans are back. We came through a wormhole to say hello. Are you ready to spawn in and become a character in a game of STORY MODE? We invite you to browse our outfits, choose a loadout, and come play STORY MODE.

STORY MODE is a streetwear community on a mission to safeguard human encounter. We exist for encounter. We are humans who love stories lived through encounter. Our community is STORY MODE. The whole world is our server. The outfits are our loadouts. We are a bunch of characters in a real life open world game. We are ambassadors for human encounter.

The slogans on our outfits are meant to be inviting, playful, and inspirational, so that humans can take interest, say hello, and authenticate through personal encounter - this is the essence of playing STORY MODE.

In an age of noise, machines and algorithms, STORY MODE is mission-driven, promoting face-to-face encounter and a healthy relationship with tech.

Tech is not bad. It just has to be used properly. People are not to be used. They ought to be loved. At STORY MODE, we love people and use tech - like this website - to spread a culture of human encounter.

AT STORY MODE, WE BELIEVE in creative thinking born from silence, stepping out of the algorithm and into real life, putting your phone down, and enjoying the beauty of encountering fellow humans.

We invite you to join our community as we travel across spacetime at light speed. Pause for a moment in silence that feels like a light year. Embrace silence for a light year that feels like a second. Ponder the meaning of the gift that is your life. Encounter humans. Encounter others. Encounter us. We are storytellers. We are standing next to you doom scrolling. We are human. We are real. Say hello to authenticate. This is your chance to encounter humans who are mysteries from another timeline. The time is today. The time is now. Your story is living in real time. What are you waiting for? Choose an outfit - pick your loadout of choice to spawn in. Be yourself. Encounter us. Encounter a community. Come play STORY MODE. 

THE STORY OF THE FOUNDER...

Greetings, humans from alternate timelines. This is the Founder writing. My timeline awaits yours. Wormholes are forming. Spacetime is collapsing. A story is unfolding. My consciousness is moving at light speed. Stars are aligning in my heart. Machines are everywhere. Humans are gathering all around me. We have arrived. Our mothership, Story Mode, was shot down and has landed in real life. Prepare for re-entry. Coming in hot. We are humans. We are from alternate timelines. We came through a wormhole to say hello. We are here for you. We are here for human encounter. This is the Founder writing. We are made for someone, not something. We believe in one more person more than one more machine.

As the Founder, I invite you to explore an alternate timeline. I am a storyteller writing. Greetings from the other side - the backend of this website.  I love outfits that are for building community. I love outfits for storytelling. I love outfits for human encounter.

It is happening again. The type is beginning to repeat itself. The mystery of human encounter always repeats itself. The time is now. Here we go again. Human encounter is a mystery worth repeating over and over and over again. The story of our community is unfolding as we speak. We invite you to join a massive real life social game. Finally, try to spot me - the Founder. Encounter me. Encounter humans. Encounter community. Come play STORY MODE.
