Your Scenario

Your desires come to life, one choice at a time

Interactive survival stories

Jungle, mountain, arctic, ocean. The AI holds the terrain, the exhaustion, the cold. You keep a cool head.

Survival in a hostile environment is a genre of constraints. The cold, the hunger, the injury, the exhaustion. Your Scenario keeps the conditions consistent — the water you didn't find yesterday is missing today, the sprained ankle doesn't heal in three chapters.

You choose the environment (jungle, mountain, ocean, desert, arctic, cave, island), the cause (plane crash, shipwreck, an expedition gone wrong, war, escape) and what you have on you. The starting resources change everything — a full pack versus nothing in your hands is two different stories.

Alone or in a group: solitary survival is psychological (inner monologue, hallucinations, moral choices you face alone). In a group, it's political (who commands, who eats first, who gets left behind).

The sub-styles of the genre

So many starting points — the AI adapts to whichever one you pick.

Plane crash

A grounded aircraft, a handful of survivors, the forest all around. The classic. How many days before rescue — and is there any rescue?

Shipwreck

An island, a raft, a boat taking on water. The sea as the principal antagonist.

Mountain storm

Stranded at altitude, zero visibility, the temperature dropping. The summit is for tomorrow — if you survive the night.

Polar expedition

Absolute cold, short days, dwindling rations. Shackleton, Scott — the genre in the vein of Alfred Lansing.

Escape

Flight across hostile terrain. The threat comes from other humans as much as from nature.

Solo Mode

Sample opening chapters.

The AI writes in the first person, building on every choice you've made so far.

Day 3, boreal forest

The helicopter crashed in the night. The pilot is dead, your two colleagues survived, one with an injured leg. You're in a remote area — no GPS signal, the radio fried on impact. There's one cereal bar each and half a canteen left. You reckon the nearest town is thirty kilometres south — if you go south.

Duo Mode

Live this genre with someone.

Two protagonists, two players. Each one chooses on their turn; the text unfolds accordingly. Here's how a typical exchange plays out.

Fourth night since the crash. The blizzard turned back; it will return before dawn. The water is low. Ivan watches the fire, Nora has the knife.

Nora
  • Go down to the stream before the blizzard picks up again
  • Stay, ration what's left
  • Try to signal from the ridge

Nora has gone down. The canteens are full but the stream is half frozen. Ivan sees tracks near the camp — too big for a fox.

Ivan
  • Light the second fire, widen the perimeter
  • Move the supplies closer to the tent
  • Track the prints before they come back

Both fires are burning. Nora is back. Far off, in the forest, two yellow lights have stopped thirty metres away. They're no longer moving.

Nora Nora's turn to play…
  • Shout, bang the metal — scare them off
  • Put out one fire to shrink the silhouette
  • Stay still, listen

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI know survival techniques?

The basics (fire, shelter, water filtration, navigation, signs of danger) — yes. On sharp detail (precise knots, edible plants by region, celestial navigation), it stays plausible but not at the level of a manual. This is fiction, not training.

Is this a text-based role-playing game?

Yes. Your Scenario is a text role-playing game (RP) where the AI handles the narration and the characters in real time. You decide, it writes. Unlike a classic message-based RP, every chapter is built around your choices and remembers everything that came before.

How does it actually work?

You describe in a few words the beginning of the story you have in mind. The AI writes the first chapter and offers you three choices to steer what comes next. With each choice, a new chapter is written, taking into account everything decided so far. You can also write your own action freely.

Is it free?

Yes. You get free credits when you sign up, and each chapter costs a few credits. Paid plans are available for heavy use.

Are my stories private?

Yes. Your scenarios belong to you. You can share them via a link if you want to; otherwise they stay strictly private.

All genres

Your Scenario spans twelve worlds. Each with its own codes, atmosphere, and archetypes.
