Local-first interactive fiction
Step inside a story that remembers you.
An experimental indie project where your choices shape persistent worlds on your own machine. Explore, speak, act — and let the story remember what you do.
The wind moves through the valley, carrying the scent of smoke and wet stone. Ahead, the ruins of an old watchtower rise from the mist.

What is it
An interactive fiction app for living stories.
First Person Viewpoint lets you inhabit an evolving world instead of choosing from a fixed dialogue tree. Write an action, speak to a character, or change the scene. A local narrator carries it forward while characters, places, goals and consequences persist.
Natural interactionDo, say, ask, or describe what happens next.
Persistent world stateCharacters, places, inventory and choices keep their history.
Private by designLocal play stays on your own machine with no FPV account.
How it works
Simple, but powerful.
1
You do, say, or ask
Interact naturally. Be curious, creative, or chaotic — it is up to you.
2
AI continues the story
A narrator writes what happens next, keeping the world consistent and reactive.
3
The world remembers
Your choices shape people, places, goals and future events.
4
A unique story unfolds
No fixed path. Just you, the world, and what happens next.
A story that changes with you
A choice can echo scenes later.
FPV does not only remember the last message. Decisions can change relationships, unlock places, close opportunities, and alter what characters know when you return.
Choice recorded→World state changes→Later scenes react
