Write. Branch. Play.
Talescape is a platform for writing interactive stories, building branching choices and publishing Tales that Dreamers can play across platforms.
How Talescape Works
From First Line to Playable Story
Talescape gives Bards (creators) one place to write, build, test and publish interactive stories. Start with scenes, dialogue, characters and media, then connect them with choices, variables, items and conditions until Dreamers (players) can play the finished story.
- Write
- Create chapters and scenes, write dialogue and narration and add characters, images, sound and atmosphere in a visual editor for storytellers.
- Branch
- Turn choices into consequences with variables, conditions, events, items and achievements. Test your branches before players reach them.
- Play
- Publish Stories to the Talescape library so Dreamers can discover, collect, review and play them across all supported platforms.
- Grow
- Use emotional feedback, documentation and community support to improve your stories after release.
Playable Outcomes
What Dreamers Will Play
The library is still small because Talescape is in Creator Beta. These early Tales show what Bards can build and what Dreamers can play.
