Storylark Start a story

Stories that bend to the choices you make

Storylark is an interactive fiction game. Pick an AI character and a setting, then decide what happens next. Characters remember what you said and the plot changes with every turn.

Characters are AI. The short scene here is a real example of how a chapter plays.

IrisThe Observatory · Chapter 1

Rain taps on the dome. Iris is hunched over an old brass telescope, checking her watch for the third time.

From first line to your own plot

No scripts to memorise. You type or pick an action, and the story responds.

  1. Choose a character

    Start with a ready-made character or adjust their personality, backstory and way of speaking.

  2. Pick a world

    A mystery in a seaside town, a long voyage between planets, a quiet bookshop — the setting sets the tone.

  3. Decide what happens

    Each choice opens a different path. Come back later and the character picks up where you left off.
