Is it a game? It sure is Amazing though! *2026-08-24* Stumbled upon this app by accident. Didn’t think too much with it being AI, but with the team that put all the effort into it. It is amazing. With the help of AI I am able to create stories and adventures of my own that otherwise would have just stayed in my head. Storycraft has such a cool concept on world building and being able to interact with a community, I find it hard to stop creating my worlds of my imagination. **Developer response:** Thanks poxyboy, glad to have you in the community! ### 5/5 — Freedom to Create! *2026-08-24* Freedom to create as many stories as we have in our head and live inside them— that’s what hooked me. Some games tell you a story. This one asks, “What’s yours?” I’ve spent hours just building worlds that were bouncing around in my head for years. It sparks creativity. it made me want to draw, write, and design again. It doesn’t consume creativity, it multiplies it.I’m looking forward to seeing all the new features! This game has amazing potential! **Developer response:** thanks pink runway, so glad we've been a small part of your creativity explosion! ### 5/5 — Masterpiece, but just one change. *2026-08-01* This games concept is amazing and its a very cool game to spend my time. However I would like to be able to switch worlds, so it doesn’t get too repetitive and you having to keep re using the same characters over and over. Just an easier way to navigate through it. Thats all, overall an amazing game though. **Developer response:** Hey DragonHunter, thanks for the review! If you have a second pop into the discord so we can make sure to correctly understand your feedback. If you want to create new worlds go to the library and create a new one there, and if you want to switch between your worlds go to the Home tab and you can travel to any of your worlds there. Hope this helps! ### 5/5 — Most creative game i’ve ever played *2026-07-24* I was skeptical coming into this game but once getting into it blew me away. It allows you to create worlds and stories that other players can read. The AI helps create all of the ideas you have. I dont know of another game like this that allows such freedom and creativity. As someone that doesn’t have a ton of free time it allows me to scratch that creative itch on my time. The devs also seem super involved which is awesome. There have already been multiple new features since i started playing. Very cool and very creative!!! **Developer response:** Thanks hochunk! Glad it’s letting you scratch that creative itch! ### 3/5 — It’s okay, but needs more activity. *2026-07-19* I mean, it’s great. I enjoy creating my own buildings and characters in my own world. However, it gets a little boring walking around and placing things. The game needs more activity. I wish the characters could walk around and interact with the other characters instead of using the comic feature. I do appreciate how you can hit trees and decor to get more ink. But there’s one minor bug that I keep running into and it’s that i can’t really chat or add a comment on the bulletin board because the words aren’t showing up properly. I see the concept of the game but it’s still a bit buggy and a little stale, if there were background music and short minigames like tomodachi to keep players engaged then I wouldn’t mind changing my rating to four stars. **Developer response:** Hey Jxrdn appreciate the feedback. We are adding more features all the time, and more activity beyond the core crafting and storytelling loop is in the plan. If you join the discord we can help you with your message board bug! ### 2/5 — Not very original *2026-07-01* The app is okay but nothing special. The stories are very basic and not as interesting as I expected. It gets repetitive after a while and there aren’t enough good options. I don’t think it’s worth it compared to other apps. Overall, I was disappointed. ### 5/5 — It’s official *2026-06-19* I’m obsessed. I can’t put it down. Alls I know is I’m getting super crafty and creative and now im so busy…I don’t want to sleep at night I just want to write my own stories re-roll ai prompts a build a whole storyline and world. I’m able to intertwine my stories and get the system to almost pull what I want for the most part on decor. Occasionally I run into some problems where it doesn’t want to read everything I write but it does for the characters and stories. & The character crafting is superb!!! Needs a better tutorial though to explain some tidbits like building rooms. Making new stories. Etc. also they have a discord with support and they are on it!! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Developer response:** Thanks killakitty, glad to have you as a member of our community, love your creations! ### 4/5 — Great idea but having issues *2026-03-26* So I was very impressed and excited about the game at first. The idea behind it is brilliant but after I built my first character I couldn’t do anything except walk around my “world” and visit other people’s worlds and there’s no main menu. I am also stuck in someone else’s world and get back to mine. There should be a way to go to main menu and show how to build things and create your next character. It talks about building things in the description of the game in the App Store but I see no way to do any of the things except what I’ve already done…create my character. I literally have no way to get back to my world because there’s no button to go home. There’s no buttons on the screen at all. So I’m stuck walking around and that is boring. I love the idea of the game but I am about to delete it because of all of this. **Developer response:** Hey Anabela! So sorry this happened to you -- this was a bug and should be fixed if you try again! ### 5/5 — New life to old work *2026-03-23* I am currently working on bringing my characters and stories into Storycraft and it is amazing to see my life’s work come together into an interactive world. The possibilities are endless!!! ### 5/5 — I wish for these 3 updates *2026-03-20* The first update is something when you can create a character you can decide the appearance but the game will give you like a selection of options different personality traits that describe what the character does because I think like that selecting thing where are you? Decided character traits in the speech bubble needs like a group of parts like that was the backstory mixed with the traits that I want more like parts of it , the second update I wish for is a update with different relationships for each character on their own personality type and the other character personality type , and the last how about every holiday at least for the holidays we have this game you could have a character making competition with a different theme each time , **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback Helly Kitty fan 67! We have some questions about your requests, if you are able to join the discord we'd love to understand your requests better. We are working on better backstory, and relationship options, and eventually we'll have holiday themed events for sure! ## Frequently asked questions about Storycraft ### What can I create with Storycraft?
