Narrative Start a story

Interactive stories, written with you.

Type what your character does. Narrative writes what happens next, keeps track of the characters, and lets you change anything.

Free for 7 days on any plan. From $14.99 a month.

Start from an idea.

Pick a genre and an opening, or write your own. Add companions with as much or as little detail as you want.

Act, speak, or narrate.

Type what your character does or says, and the next passage appears as it's written.

Pick the version you like.

Get another version, compare the two side by side, or edit the passage yourself.

Edit any character.

Give anyone an age, a background, or a secret. Add or change characters mid-story, and the next passage uses the changes.

See what it keeps track of.

Story memory lists the people, places, and events so far. Read it, correct it, and add notes for the writer.

Ask the Helper, or have it fix things.

Ask about a character or where the story could go. Or tell it what's wrong, and it fixes it and tells you what changed.

Direct the next scene.

Stay in the moment, let the other characters take over, or say exactly what should happen next.

Branch the story.

Start a new branch from any passage and keep both.

Roll dice if you want.

Turn on character sheets and dice. Each roll's result shows up in the next passage.

Change how it's written.

First, second, or third person, passage length, how strict the rules are, and a voice to read it aloud.

Questions

How does the free trial work?

Pick any plan and add a card at checkout. Nothing is charged for 7 days. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing; otherwise the plan starts and renews each month.

How much can I write?

Each plan includes a monthly writing allowance. Standard suits a few evenings of reading a week, and each plan above it doubles the writing. If you reach the allowance, you can move up a plan or wait for the new month. Reading and editing never stop.

Can I try it without a card?

Yes. Sign in with your email address and your first scene is free.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, from Manage billing in your account. Your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for, and your stories stay yours to read, edit and download.

Is Narrative for adults?

Yes. You must be 18 or older. You choose the tone and content of each story, including whether to allow mature material.

Which devices does it work on?

Web, iPhone, Mac, Windows, Linux and Android, with one account across all of them.
