The streets are demanding a new champion for the underground fighting circuit. Could that champion be you?

The call for a new king has been issued, and you've stepped up to answer. Will you defy all odds to rise as the new ruler, a powerful chief of police, a feared gang leader, or will your story end in an early grave?

Street Jam: The Rise is a gritty, 370,000-word interactive adult novel by Tevin Betts, where your decisions shape the entire narrative. This experience is purely text-based—no graphics or sound effects—powered solely by the limitless engine of your imagination.

In one of the world's largest metropolises, you are a fledgling street fighter aiming for the top, whether for wealth, notoriety, or duty. Select from a range of distinct backgrounds and leverage your talents to climb from obscurity to ultimate power. Expect violence, mortality, and chaos to surround you as you conquer club after club, in a story inspired by the criminally underrated Def Jam series.

Will you fight with honor and mercy, relying on pure skill? Or will you be a treacherous, murderous schemer who wins by turning the streets into a warzone? Perhaps you're an ambitious undercover officer using police resources to dominate. Your personality will influence your path as much as your victories.
