The Basics

You're not reading a story — you're inside one. Type what your character says, does, thinks, or feels. There are no wrong moves. The world responds to you.

Try being specific. "I examine the letter closely" gives the AI more to work with than "I look around."

Suggestions

After each response, you may see suggestion chips — quick actions you can tap to jump in. They're starting points, not limits. Type your own thing whenever you want.

The lightbulb button toggles suggestions on and off.

Director's Note

The 📝 note button (next to the thumbs) lets you talk to the storyteller without breaking character. Use it to steer tone, pacing, or direction.

Examples: "Make the next scene more tense" or "I'd like to meet a new character" or "Slow down — I want to explore this room."

Menu & Controls

The hamburger menu (top right during a story) gives you access to:

Undo — take back your last turn if the story went somewhere you didn't want.
Copy transcript — save or share your story so far.
Text size — adjust the reading size.
Dark/Light mode — switch the theme.

Tips for Great Sessions

Be yourself (or someone else). You can play as anyone — speak in character, react honestly, make choices you wouldn't normally make.

Push back. Disagree with characters. Ask hard questions. Refuse. The world adapts.

Use the Director. If the pacing feels off or you want a shift, the 📝 note button is your secret weapon.

There's no failing. Every choice leads somewhere interesting. The story can't break.

About

StoryHuddle is an AI-powered interactive narrative platform by PLOTPOINT Creative Media. Every story is generated in real time — no two sessions are alike.

The first turn takes the longest (the AI is building the entire world). After that, responses are much faster.

Why is the first turn so slow?

The very first response takes longer because the AI is building an entire world from scratch — characters, setting, tone, history, all of it. Think of it like a novelist writing the first page: everything that follows depends on getting this right.

After the first turn, responses are much faster. Grab a drink, enjoy the campfire animation, and know that something good is coming.

The connection dropped / I got an error

If you're on mobile and the screen locked during a long generation, your phone may have cut the connection. StoryHuddle will try to reconnect automatically. If it can't, tap the menu and go to "My stories" — your session is saved and you can pick up right where you left off.

Keeping your screen on during the first turn helps prevent this.

What should I type?

Literally anything. Speak as your character ("I don't trust you"), take action ("I open the letter"), think out loud ("Something about this doesn't add up"), observe ("I watch his hands"), or just react ("I laugh"). The more specific you are, the richer the response.

There's no wrong input. If you're stuck, tap one of the suggestion chips.

Is my data safe?

Your stories are stored securely and never shared with other users. We don't sell your data. Session transcripts may be reviewed internally to improve the experience. Passwords are cryptographically hashed — we can't read them. You can request deletion of all your data anytime at privacy@storyhuddle.com.

Can the story go anywhere?

Pretty much. You can walk away from a conversation, change the subject, refuse a quest, start a fight, fall in love, or ask the villain to sit down for tea. The AI adapts to your choices. There are safety guardrails for harmful content, but within those boundaries, the world is yours.

What's the 📝 note button for?

The Director's Note lets you talk to the storyteller, not your character. Use it to adjust the experience — "make this scarier," "I want to meet someone new," "slow the pace down," "skip ahead to the morning." It's like whispering to a DM between turns.

I didn't like what happened. Can I go back?

Yes! Open the menu and tap "Undo last turn." It removes your last message and the AI's response, so you can try a different approach. It's your story — edit it however you want.

Can I share my story with friends?

Tap the menu and choose "Copy transcript" — it copies your entire session as text that you can paste anywhere. Share the highlights, post your favorite moments, or just keep a personal copy.

I'm a guest. Will my stories be saved?

Guest sessions aren't saved after you leave. If you want to return to your stories later, create an account with your email and set a personal password from the Account screen. It takes ten seconds and your stories will be waiting for you.

Is this AI? How does it work?

Yes — every story is generated in real time by an AI trained on a vast library of literature, history, and narrative craft. No two sessions are identical. The AI operates under a proprietary storytelling system designed specifically for interactive fiction. It's not a chatbot — it's a narrative engine.

Something felt off. How do I give feedback?

The thumbs up/down buttons appear after each response — tap them anytime. If you have more detailed feedback, email us at feedback@storyhuddle.com. We read everything. You're shaping what this becomes.
