About

Fakeality

Features
Read full description

Most story games hand you a script and let you pick which branch to walk down. Fakeality doesn't have a script โ€” the story is written around you. Pick where you start. Thirteen stories, each hand-written as a place to begin: moving into a Brooklyn apartment with a job that starts Monday. A 1948 Chicago death the police called an accident. A season in Bath with an inheritance riding on it. A caretaker post at a house nobody visits in winter. A cyberpunk job the fixer won't put a number on. A dam settlement that runs its lights four hours a night. Then the rest is yours. Do what you want, say what you want, go where you want โ€” and the people around you actually respond to it. Not a fixed menu of replies, but the real situation you've created. Push somewhere unexpected and the story doesn't break; it follows you. Nothing is waiting at the end, because there is no set ending. Every scene is generated by AI as you play, so no one's story is ever the same โ€” even we don't know where yours goes. If you've ever had a great night at a tabletop RPG, where you could try anything and someone made the whole world react, that's the feeling โ€” in your pocket, ready in a few spare minutes. And when you've had enough of ours, build one of your own. Your setting, your cast, your tone โ€” Fakeality writes the world and plays it with you. ABOUT CREDITS Writing an original story on the fly takes real computing power. The large majority of what you pay goes directly to the AI that generates your story โ€” credits exist to cover that cost, so the story can keep responding to anything you do.
