It grows from your sentence
Setting, rules, cast and the first scene come from one line you write, in about 30 seconds.
World Mode
Say one sentence. Step into a world.
Describe a world and who you are in it. Pominis builds it, brings in its people, sets the first scene and lets you walk in. Talk to anyone, go anywhere; the world answers in words and pictures.

One sentence to a playable world
Characters with the same face everywhere
Every place you go, there when you arrive
Built for the format
Not a chat window. A world you are standing in.
You see where you are
Every scene shows the place you are in and the people who are there, not a wall of text.
It goes where you go
There is no fixed map: head somewhere new and the world is there when you arrive.
How it works
From one sentence to a world you play
No setup screens. Write the world, wait half a minute, and you are inside it.
Write one sentence
Who you are and where: "I'm the new postman in a lighthouse town where every letter is for someone who's gone."
Meet the cast
While the world is built, its people step forward one by one, so you know who you'll meet.
Talk and act
Type anything or tap a suggestion. Characters answer in their own voice and the story moves with you.
Go anywhere, come back later
New places open up as you arrive. Leave, and a character may write to you; the world waits where you left it.
What makes it a world
Built to feel alive
Characters who remember
Relationships, promises, things you carry and what you're after are kept, so later turns build on earlier ones.
One face per character
Everyone looks the same wherever you meet them, from the first scene to the last.
The scene keeps pace with you
The view changes the moment you arrive somewhere, never before, so the story and the picture stay together.
Publish your world
Share it with a link or to the community. Everyone who opens it walks in from the beginning, in their own session.
World Mode vs AI chat roleplay
Roleplay with a place, not just a person
Chat roleplay apps give you one character in a text box. World Mode gives you a place with several people, scenes you can see and a story that moves.

Want to shape every branch and line yourself? Write it into a full story in the Studio; a world can become one with a click.
Start with a place and a role
Give yourself a reason to be there
The best world sentences say where you are, who you are, and what is strange about it. The world fills in the rest.
“I run the last noodle stall on a night market that only appears when it rains, and tonight a customer pays with a letter from my late father.”
Frequently asked questions
World Mode FAQ
Is World Mode free?
You can start a new world for free, and every world comes with free turns. After those, each turn costs a credit.
How long does a new world take?
About 30 seconds. While it is built you meet its characters, then the opening scene appears and you are in.
Do the characters remember me?
Yes. Each world keeps a memory of relationships, promises, the things you carry and what you're after, so what you did earlier shapes what happens next.
Can I play an existing story as a world?
Yes. Many published stories offer World Mode: you step into their world with their characters and scenes and go wherever you like.
Can other people play my world?
Yes. Publish it from the world menu or the Studio. Anyone who opens it walks straight into the world, in their own session.
Can I turn my world into a full story?
Yes. In the Studio, Write as story writes chapter one from your world's cast and places, and you can keep editing from there.
What world do you want to stand in?
One sentence is enough. Pominis builds it and lets you in.
