Detox My Heart

A tech journalist goes undercover at a mountain wellness retreat to expose whatever "transformation" its viral guests keep raving about, and loses his phone and his objectivity at the front gate. Serenity Summit is gorgeous, costly, and clearly hiding something behind the meditation schedule.

Marcus's story gets complicated by bonfire confessions, a founder who's conspicuously absent, and three separate romances that each pull him a different direction. Every one of them forces the same underlying question: whether he's there to write the truth or protect the people who've started trusting him.

You read through Marcus's stay at the retreat, choosing how far he leans into ambition versus attachment as each relationship develops, with those choices steering him toward one of several possible endings. It's a linear-feeling story with branching stakes rather than a sandbox, built around dialogue and decision points instead of free roaming.
