How it works

A page. A choice.
A new page.

Not an audiobook. Not a chatbot. A tale that bends to every move you make, written in the voice of the world you stepped into.

  1. Pick a tale

    Eighty-seven bundled classics — Dracula, Sherlock, Beowulf, the Odyssey — each with a hand-curated AI scenario. Plus myth, folklore, history, stage, and epic-poetry worlds. Or invent your own.

  2. Read what the AI writes

    Streaming prose arrives a sentence at a time, in the voice of the world you stepped into — beneath a painted cover conjured for your story.

  3. Choose what happens next

    Pick from three offered branches, or type whatever you want. The story adapts.

The headline act

AI Adventure. Your move.

Every turn, the AI writes the next page in the voice of the world you're in — then hands you the pen. Pick a branch or type anything at all, and it remembers: your choices carry forward turn after turn, so a single run can unfold for hours and never repeat itself. Here's one turn.

A live AI Adventure turn — The Prismshard Heist, Chapter 1: a scene painting for the turn, the story written in a vivid heist-noir voice, and a 'Type your own move' box
The Prismshard Heist · Chapter 1 · Approach

Three bells past midnight, and Halen breathes the kind of quiet that belongs only to cats and thieves. The mist sits low on the canal, smelling of brine and old rope, and the cold of the tiles seeps through your boots like a slow debt.

1 Cross by the bridge and go in at ground level
2 Signal Mora to test the wards with a prayer before moving
3 Send Pell to shadow the errant sentry first
Or type your own — "What if I refused the invitation?"

The turn shown on the phone, set in readable type — a live run of the real Prismshard Heist scenario. Each turn opens with a scene the app paints for it; every branch is written fresh, so no two runs are the same.

195 doors, one vault

Pick a world. Any world.

Six of the worlds waiting inside — horror, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, high-seas adventure, and the Old West. Each opens under a cover the app paints for it, then branches turn by turn from the premise below. Every classic on the shelf has one too, and the original worlds are built for nothing else.

Plus 87 classics with scenarios in the source's own voice, and whole shelves of myth, folklore, history, stage & screen, and epic poetry — 190+ scenarios in all.

What's inside

Every classic. Every choice.

A literary engine, a quiet reader, a trophy gallery — built like a chef's knife, not a Swiss army.

Live a classic

Eighty-seven public-domain books pre-loaded — Dracula, Pride & Prejudice, Sherlock Holmes, Treasure Island, the Odyssey, and 82 more. Each has its own AI Adventure scenario calibrated to the source's voice.

Or a world only you know

Sketch a premise — title, genre, characters, a plot seed. The AI weaves a branching tale around it, keeping continuity across every turn.

Painted, not printed

Every book and adventure gets a painted cover in a Victorian-engraving-meets-illuminated-manuscript style — 87 painted classics, plus a fresh cover conjured for each story you start. In AI Adventure, every turn opens with a new scene the app paints for the moment.

A reader, too

Saved books open into a clean, themable reader — adjustable size, serif/sans/mono, light/sepia/dark, chapter narration that reads aloud, and navigation that remembers where you left off.

Earn the trophies

Achievements for completing books, finishing scenarios, writing your own moves, and reading across genres. Stats track your library, finished reads, and turns played.

Yours alone

Saved adventures and reading progress live on your device — no account, no login, no telemetry tied to your name. The AI never trains on your stories.

A look inside

Crafted, top to bottom.

A literary luxury aesthetic, hand-built one screen at a time.

Common questions

FAQ

Everything reviewers, readers, and parents ask us.

Is the AI just rewriting the original book?

No — the AI uses the book's world and voice as the setting, but every adventure is its own continuity. You're not reading Dracula. You're at Castle Dracula, making choices Jonathan Harker never had.

What if the AI says something off?

It happens. Tap "Try again" on any turn to regenerate, or type a different choice to steer the story. The system prompt is tuned to keep prose in-period and on-tone, but AI is AI.

Does the AI train on my stories?

No. Your input is sent to our backend for the duration of the request, forwarded to OpenAI for generation, and not stored on either end. We don't sell or share your input.

Can I read offline?

The 87 bundled books are fully offline-readable. AI Adventure requires a network connection — every turn is generated live by the model.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

You keep access through the end of the current period, then drop back to the free tier (3 AI Adventure turns / month). Your saved adventures and library stay — they're on your device.

How is this different from AI Dungeon?

StoryVault is built around literature — period-correct prose, hand-tuned scenarios, a real reader for the source books. The AI keeps you in the source's voice instead of letting the story drift into generic fantasy.

iPad? Mac? Android?

iOS first. iPad works on the same iOS app. Android and Mac are on the roadmap but not committed yet.

I'm a teacher / parent / reviewer — how do I evaluate it?

The bundled library is all public-domain material rated 12+. The AI Adventure system prompt explicitly excludes explicit sexual content and child endangerment. Reach out at dmusk188@gmail.com for review codes.
