Your move
New to text roleplay? Follow these 4 simple steps: Upload or import a story → Select a scene → Pick a character → Start chatting! The AI responds as the other characters while you play your chosen role.
What you can use: TXT, EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW, or AZW3 files, or import a book from Project Gutenberg
What happens: The app reads the story and analyzes it for scenes and characters
What you see: Up to 6 scenes from your story, each with a title and description
What to do: Click the scene that fits the kind of interaction you want
What you see: A list of characters available in the selected scene
What to do: Choose the character you want to roleplay as
What happens: The AI opens the scene and you begin the conversation
Your role: Reply as your selected character in each turn
Be specific and descriptive:
"I slowly approached the door, my hand trembling as I reached for the handle. 'Is anyone there?' I whispered nervously."
Show emotions and thoughts:
"My heart raced as I saw her. Despite my anger, I couldn't help but smile. 'I've been waiting for you,' I said, trying to keep my voice steady."
React to the environment:
"The cold wind made me shiver. I pulled my coat tighter and hurried toward the warm glow of the tavern."
Don't control other characters:
"I walked up to Sarah and she smiled at me and said hello."
You're controlling Sarah's actions
Don't be too brief:
"OK" or "Yes" or "I walked."
Not enough detail for good roleplay
Don't break character:
"Hey AI, can you make Sarah do something?"
Use OOC for meta requests, and keep main chat in character
Use OOC (Out of Character) for planning, guidance, and meta instructions. Keep the main chat in-character for cleaner roleplay.
Use Preferences to tune behavior and style during chat so responses better match the tone and format you want.
When available, NPC cards summarize active side characters in the current scene so you can quickly track who is present.
When available, the Lore Atlas maps discovered locations and relationships as the story continues.
Don't worry. Text roleplay is collaborative storytelling. Think of it as:
Start simple and your style will improve quickly.
Aim for 1-3 sentences minimum. A strong response usually includes:
Example: "I stepped back in surprise, my eyes widening. 'I didn't expect to see you here,' I said, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness."
Try these approaches:
To switch scenes or characters, return to setup first:
Each session is optimized for one character in one scene at a time.
