Lorath is your personal pen-and-paper roleplaying game – an AI game master that creates stories made just for you. Your characters are at the heart of it. You bring heroes, villains, and companions to life, set out on adventures with them – and they don't forget. Lorath gives your characters a real memory: they remember the night in the storm, the battles won and lost, the promises and the betrayals. Across many adventures, a true bond grows. Speak with them directly – and they answer as the people they have become at your side. Classic fantasy is your starting point: hooded messengers, ancient kingdoms, magic and deep secrets, rich atmosphere, and choices that matter. But the world is yours – create any genre you want: sci-fi, gothic horror, cyberpunk, and more. What makes Lorath special: - Characters with memory who carry your shared story across every adventure - An AI narrator that matches your tone – epic, dark, romantic, or offbeat - Your own worldbuilding: places, peoples, secrets, and rules, all vividly connected - Play solo, co-op with a companion, or together in a group - Playable offline: your characters, worlds, and adventures are always with you With version 7.0.0, Lorath has been rebuilt from the ground up – for a more personal, more immersive, and more alive experience than ever before. Your adventure. Your characters. Your story together. — Terms of Use (EULA): https://app.lorath.eu/nutzungsbedingungen.html Privacy Policy: https://app.lorath.eu/privacy.html
