Living World Engine

Your world evolves between sessions. NPCs age, politics shift, seasons change — all without you present.

NPC Memory System

Every character remembers your history. Betray a merchant, and word spreads. Earn respect, and doors open.

Persistent World State

Leave mid-quest and return weeks later. Your world waits exactly as you left it, every consequence intact.

Multi-Genre Support

High fantasy, cyberpunk, horror, western — the Engine adapts its tone and world logic to any genre.

Scheduled Events

Set coronations, migrations, or eclipse rituals on a real calendar. The world runs on its own schedule.
