Browse community worlds or create any story you can imagine with our AI world generator. Tweak it to perfectly match your tastes or play it right away. Want full control? Build your own world from scratch or make one in minutes using AI. ## How it works 1. **Pick a World.** Browse community worlds, create your own with AI-powered tools, or write them yourself. 2. **Choose Your Character.** Select a character and shape their backstory before diving in. 3. **Play Your Story.** Say or do anything. The AI adapts to your choices and writes the story around you. Every account gets free credits just for checking in. ## What's on the homepage The HTML home page is a live storefront rather than static copy. It renders, server-side for crawlers and then personalized after load: - **Featured worlds hero.** A rotating, admin-curated spotlight of standout worlds, each with its art, tags, gameplay mechanics, favorite and play counts, and author. - **Rising.** Worlds less than two weeks old and picking up players fast. - **Most played this week.** Where players are spending their time right now. - **Staff picks.** Handpicked by the Imagina team. We play these on our own time. - **New.** Just published by the community. - **Creators to watch.** Profiles of active world authors, linking to their public creator pages at `/u/`. - **Community favorites.** What players are favoriting lately. - **Roll the dice.** A random selection, reshuffled on every visit. Let luck pick your next story. - **Jump back in.** For signed-in players, a shelf of their ongoing journeys so they can resume where they left off. These sections are dynamic and change constantly. The full, browsable catalog of public worlds lives at https://playimagina.com/browse and grows with every new community submission. ## Loom Engine Loom, our AI storytelling engine, adapts to your choices and creates dynamic storylines. With advanced memory, NPC tracking, and deep context awareness, every adventure feels uniquely yours. - **Memory and NPC tracking.** Loom remembers your choices, tracks NPCs, and maintains deep context across your entire adventure. Characters react to your history, not just your last action. - **Long turns.** Rich, detailed narrative responses that give every moment the depth it deserves. No one-liners here. - **Texting threads.** In worlds that enable it, characters can text you mid-story: the exchange renders as phone-style chat bubbles with contact portraits, right in the narration. Built for modern settings, group chats included. - **Long-running journeys.** Built for epic sagas. Play for dozens of turns with persistent memory that keeps your journey coherent from the first chapter to the last. - **Play in your language.** Pick your output language at the start of a journey. The AI writes narrative, dialogue, and suggested actions in French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, or Simplified Chinese. - **Play anywhere.** Phone or PC, your journeys are stored in the cloud and accessible from anywhere. Pick up right where you left off. ## World-building tools From character builders to world editors, a complete toolkit to craft the universe of your dreams and share it with the community. - **Community worlds.** Explore a library of worlds and quests by our community of storytellers and creators. - **Rich characters.** Create deep characters with unique backstories, traits, and descriptions that Loom weaves into the narrative. - **Customization.** Worlds can have custom themes to help immerse you in the story. Tailor every aspect of your experience to your preferences. - **Image generation.** Generate portraits and artwork for your worlds, and, with turn images enabled on your profile, generate a journey portrait from the play header. ## No training wheels Imagina doesn't hold back advanced users. Peek behind the curtain to see exactly what the AI is thinking, planning, and tracking. Take full control of the engine to steer the narrative exactly where you want it to go. - **See the AI's thoughts.** View the AI's internal reasoning, state updates, and narrative planning for every single turn. - **Full narrative control.** Edit any response, retry generations, or rewrite history. You are the ultimate game master. - **Advanced configuration.** Define complex lore books, strict character instructions, and custom state trackers for your worlds. ## In open beta Imagina is evolving fast.
