Talescape is a platform for writing interactive stories, building branching choices and publishing Tales that Dreamers can play across platforms.
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.
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.
Your dungeon is ruined, your minions are unionizing and the heroes are already on their way. Luckily, you hired Mr. Graves: a very proper assistant for a very improper crisis.
You only want to go home. Eight floors, one elevator, one endless office corridor. If something has changed, turn back. If everything looks normal, keep walking. And if something notices you: run!
You don’t really have time for memories. Your own life already feels unstable enough. But while clearing out your grandfather’s apartment, you uncover the traces of a man who lived through the slow collapse of everything he knew.
Maria’s first day at a new school begins with small mishaps and quiet doubts. What starts as a simple meeting with the principal slowly reveals that the place holds more stories than she expected.
Choose Your Next Step
Talescape has two sides: Bards create interactive Tales and Dreamers play the stories those creators publish.

This release is mostly about scopes. Dialogues no longer have to sit on a single scene, variables can be bound to a scene, a chapter or the whole story and text fields can now pull values from variables directly. There are also two new input actions: one for free text, one for picking from a set of choices. On top of that, stories, public author pages and asset packs are now browsable on the website.
Talescape is in Creator Beta and the first Bards are already turning ideas into playable stories.
