Narriva Stories FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Learn how Narriva Stories' interactive AI storytelling works, what you need to play, how early access and the waitlist work, and what to expect from the first story in Caldris.
What is Narriva Stories?
Narriva Stories is an AI-powered interactive story platform. You enter an authored world, act in your own words, and shape what happens through your questions, choices, relationships, and discoveries.
Is Narriva Stories a game, a book, or a chatbot?
It combines interactive fiction, narrative games, and authored storytelling. It is neither a fixed dialogue tree nor a general-purpose chatbot: each story has an authored setting and dramatic arc, while your actions determine the path and outcome.
How do I interact with the story?
You can type or speak naturally. Ask questions, investigate, accuse, bargain, lie, comfort, threaten, or try something unexpected. The world responds in character and opens paths shaped by what you do.
Do characters remember my choices?
Yes. Clues, promises, relationships, suspicions, and unresolved conflicts become part of the ongoing story. Characters can remember what you said and did, and later scenes can change as a result.
Does the world change when I am away?
That is part of the design. Time can move forward, characters can act and share information, and situations can evolve while you investigate elsewhere or are absent.
What is Caldris?
Caldris is the setting of the first Narriva story. Chapter One begins with a breach in a noble-backed medical wing: patients are missing, a guard is dead, and one cell appears to have been opened from the inside. Your investigation determines which truths come to light.
How does Narriva Stories use AI?
AI helps characters respond naturally and lets scenes and world state react to the player. It works inside an authored world with designed characters, mysteries, rules, and dramatic structure rather than generating a directionless story from scratch.
When can I play Narriva Stories?
Narriva Stories is currently in development. Join the waitlist to receive development updates and invitations to early tests. There is no public release date yet; timing will be shared directly with the community.
What will Narriva Stories cost?
The early alpha is planned to be free. Future pricing has not been finalized. We will be transparent about access, memberships, and AI usage costs, and we want the early community to help shape that model.
Which devices and browsers will be supported?
Narriva Stories is being built as a web experience. Exact browser, device, and microphone support for each test phase will be shared with invitations so participants know what they need before entering Caldris.
How can I help shape the project?
Join the waitlist, take part in early tests, and share what works and what does not. Questions, theories, discoveries, and honest feedback will directly influence how we improve the experience and the world around it.
How does Narriva Stories handle privacy?
Our privacy notice explains how this website, the waitlist, and the contact form handle personal data. Product-specific data practices will be explained transparently before early testing begins.
