Description
FableAI is a text RPG where you play the hero and an AI narrator runs the story. Type what your character does or says, and the narrator writes what happens next. The narrator draws anime-style pictures of the scenes as you play, and if you turn on dice rolls, risky moves get a d20 roll. Pick one of 5,000+ adventures or describe your own world in one sentence, then play alone or with up to 8 players in the same story.
HOW A TURN WORKS
Read more
- Choose DO or SAY and type your move. Talk your way past a guard, steal the captain's map, or ask the innkeeper why the town is empty.
- Want a nudge? Tap one of the suggested choices, or ignore them and write your own.
- Turn on dice rolls and the narrator rolls a d20 when a move could go either way. A failed roll is often where things get interesting.
- Not happy with a turn? Retry it, undo it, or tap Continue and let the narrator keep going.
WHAT A TURN LOOKS LIKE
You (DO): I slide the stolen key across the bar and ask the innkeeper who else has a copy.
Narrator: She doesn't pick it up. "Three people had one," she says. "Two of them went missing. The third just sat down behind you."
PLAY WITH FRIENDS
Up to 8 players can share one story. Everyone plays their own character, and the narrator works each move into the same scene, so a heist or a rescue goes differently with every group. Run a one-shot on a Friday night or keep a campaign going for weeks.
5,000+ ADVENTURES, OR YOUR OWN WORLD
Fantasy kingdoms, space stations, haunted houses, isekai worlds, heists, detective cases and everyday life. Play adventures other players have built, or type one sentence, like "a kingdom of floating castles guarded by an old dragon", and start playing it right away.
BE ANYONE
Play a knight, a smuggler, a starship pilot, a detective on a night train, or yourself. Nothing is scripted: you decide what your character says and does, and the story goes from there.
MEMORY YOU CAN SEE AND EDIT
Story Cards and Memory Fragments hold the names, places and events the narrator should keep in mind. You can see, edit and delete them, so you decide what it remembers. Some memory features need a paid plan.
FOR TEXT ADVENTURE AND TABLETOP FANS
If you grew up on text adventures and gamebooks, or you run tabletop campaigns, FableAI will feel familiar, with an AI as your game master. Play a short solo adventure on the bus, or a long fantasy campaign with your group.
