Lanternplay
AI-authored interactive fiction

Dream a world.
Branch it. Let
anyone play it.

Describe a setting and a cast. Lanternplay generates a full branching story — every node written, illustrated, and scored — then hands you the tree to refine and a link to share.

The Glass Cathedral

Light pours through a thousand drowned windows. On a throne of coral sits the Drowned Queen, and above her, turning in a shaft of gold, floats the Ember Crown.

Plead your true purpose
Seize the crown while you can
From prompt to playable

Three surfaces, one flow

1 · Generate

Set the world, cast your characters, pick an art style. One AI pass writes the entire branching script — review and edit before a single credit is spent on art.

2 · Refine

Open the node tree. Rewrite text, regenerate any image, swap or AI-generate audio, re-route branches and fix dead ends — node by node, in a visual graph.

3 · Share & play

Publish a clean public link. Anyone can play in-browser — full-bleed art, narrative, audio, and choices — no account needed to read your story.

Credits, not subscriptions

Buy what you build

Script generation, per-node images and AI sound each draw from your balance. Top up whenever — credits never expire.
