Start from a template
A small library of ready-to-use story shapes: short enough to remix, specific enough to make the first generation useful.
Mystery
Short route
Rainy School Mystery
A missing notebook, one suspicious classmate, and a hallway clue that changes every time the bell rings.
Prompt seed
Write a rainy after-school mystery with one protagonist, three suspects, and a final choice that decides who gets trusted.
Slice of life
Mini loop
Cozy Bookshop Loop
A quiet neighborhood bookshop where the same day keeps repeating until one conversation finally lands.
Prompt seed
Create a gentle time-loop story set in a bookshop with one recurring customer, one secret, and three emotional choices.
Romance
Short route
Neon Confession
Two characters meet under city lights, but one confession arrives before either person is ready.
Prompt seed
Write a neon-lit romance with two leads, one delayed confession, and a final branch between honesty and distance.
Sci-Fi
Medium route
Shipboard Secret
A generation ship, a locked maintenance deck, and a secret that has survived eleven years.
Prompt seed
Create a sci-fi interrogation scene on a generation ship with one hidden truth, two pressure points, and a route split at the end.
Horror
Short route
Folk Horror Trail
A forest path, a wrong map, and a series of choices where every safe-looking turn feels worse later.
Prompt seed
Write a folk horror story with a single trail, a vanishing landmark, and choices that slowly reveal they were never safe.
Drama
Medium route
Student Rivalry
Two top students compete for a scholarship while a third choice decides whether the rivalry becomes a partnership.
Prompt seed
Create a school drama with three key characters, one public event, and a branch that decides whether trust can survive competition.
Start with one premise
Each template is short on purpose. Pick one emotional engine and build outward.
Make the first choice matter
Good templates give the player a decision that changes the scene, not just the line of dialogue.
Lock the look early
Set the art direction before generating too many assets so the story feels consistent.
How to use a template
- Keep the first scene small enough to finish in one sitting.
- Use one clear setting, one protagonist, and one pressure point.
- Add a second branch only after the core route feels good.
