Talescape is a living stage for imagination - where stories are crafted by Bards and experienced by Dreamers.
Why Talescape
Technology should serve art. Talescape turns interactive storytelling into a craft that’s simple, fair, and built to last.
A Glimpse of What’s Possible
The Tales below are concept previews designed to show how stories may look on Talescape. They’re temporary examples, the real worlds will be imagined by Bards in our community.
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.
A man enters a magical forest seeking something he cannot name. The deeper he travels, the stranger the woods become. Whispers guide his steps, and beauty hides quiet dangers.
In a post-technological desert, travelers chase fragments of a shattered sun - a story about purpose, hope, and human resilience.
In a crumbling library, a lone historian uncovers stories that can reshape the past... but every edit demands a sacrifice.
Contests that Celebrate Creativity
Every few months, Talescape hosts themed storytelling contests - opportunities for Bards to share their imagination, experiment with new ideas, and earn real rewards.
The first contest is coming soon. Join the community to get notified when submissions open.
Create Tales or Explore Them
Whether you’re a storyteller or an adventurer, Talescape gives you a way to experience imagination. Bards bring worlds to life - Dreamers explore and keep them alive.
Craft interactive stories with branching dialogue, visuals, and sound. Publish them to the Talescape marketplace, join contests, and earn from your creativity.
Explore immersive Tales from creators around the world. Collect, review, and experience stories across Steam, iOS, and Android.
Every Tale needs a Bard. Every Bard needs a Dreamer.
We Believe Stories Are the Most Human Form of Connection
Talescape was built on a simple idea - that imagination deserves a home. In a world of noise, we create a quiet space for reflection, curiosity, and creation.
Stories outlive their creators. Through Talescape, they can keep growing - shaped by the Bards who write them and the Dreamers who experience them.
Latest from the Journal

This update introduces two important new features: item types and variable display options. Items can now take on different gameplay roles (default, consumable, or equippable) giving stories more interesting inventory logic. Variables like health, sanity, or progress can now be surfaced directly to the player as visible stats.

This is the first update after the launch of the Closed Beta. It mainly includes bug fixes and optimizations based on the first wave of testing, along with a few new additions. I finally created the first batch of tutorial videos I had been promising. The first 7 videos cover the Setting up your Story section of the documentation and can be accessed directly in the editor or viewed on YouTube.

It’s been a while since the last devlog. Most of that time went into getting the closed beta up and running, and I simply didn’t keep up with documenting the overall progress. Because of that, this entry will be a bit denser than usual. I’ll focus on the main features first, and cover the smaller changes and bug fixes in a separate list for those who want to dig into the details.
The first Bards are already building new worlds, and the first Dreamers are waiting to explore them.
