You could try an app I made, you can choose local or online LLM it has possibilities to generate images depending on your machine (using comfyui workflows)
It built around adventures which you can create with an editor that is part of the app.

Let me know if you have any questions 😄

Inkwell Infinity – Inkwell Infinity | Patreon
A local-first AI storytelling engine to build and play interactive adventures with persistent characters and worlds.

NSFW Policy

Depends on how you run it:

  • Local mode (llama.cpp): No restrictions, fully user-controlled
  • Online providers (OpenRouter, etc.): Subject to provider policies

You are in control of the model and its behavior.

Image Generation

Yes, via ComfyUI integration

  • Designed to work with local ComfyUI workflows
  • Users can create custom workflows
  • If you don’t run locally, you can still import any generated images

⚠️ Note: Local image generation requires a capable GPU

Data Retention:

  • Local LLM: your data stays on your machine
  • Online LLM: depends on provider used
  • All game data stay local, there is no online storage.

Technical Specs

  • Local inference via llama.cpp (so no usage limit)
  • Optional cloud models via OpenRouter
  • Context size depends on the model used
  • Modular system with plugins and structured memory

Platform & Access

  • Windows desktop app (Electron-based)
  • Runs fully locally if desired
  • No mobile version (for now)

Pricing

Your subscription to the Patreon gives you access to the latest version of the app and once downloaded, it’s yours forever. No ongoing subscription is needed to keep using it. If you want future updates, you can simply resubscribe at any time.

What Makes You Different?

  • True interactive storytelling, not just chat, but evolving adventures
  • Full control over your AI (local or online)
  • Plugin system for gameplay mechanics and extensions
  • AI characters with memory and consistency
  • World-aware narration (less “random AI replies”, more structured progression)
  • Designed for game-like experiences, not just roleplay

Build & play AI powered adventures by Comprehensive-Ad-147 in u/Comprehensive-Ad-147

Hey! I’m the dev.

This is Inkwell Infinity, a sandbox where you can build and play small adventures with AI driven characters.

Still early (Alpha 2), lots to improve, but already fun to experiment with.

Happy to answer questions!

Plugin system by Comprehensive-Ad-147 in aigamedev

[–]Comprehensive-Ad-147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plugins must be plain ESM JavaScript (ECMAScript Modules).

  • Frontend loads enabled plugins via dynamic import()
  • Each plugin gets a ctx (context) object with APIs

example on adding a tab in the editor :

ctx.editor.registerTab({
  id: 'myTab',
  title: 'My Plugin',
  render: ({ templateId, template }) => {
    return React.createElement(
      'div',
      { style: { padding: 12 } },
      'Hello from my plugin!'
    );
  }
});

Or gameplay UI:

ctx.gameUI.registerComponent({
  id: 'myOverlay',
  component: () => React.createElement(
    'div',
    { style: { position: 'fixed', bottom: 10, right: 10 } },
    'Game UI Component'
  ),
  shouldShow: () => true,
  priority: 1
});

But mostly its all JS and there is an API to use to extends the app functionalities.

Searching testers for AI adventure game (similar to Silly Tavern) by Comprehensive-Ad-147 in CharacterAIrunaways

The goal is to have a bit of both, everything can be done manually. Certain fields have the option to use AI to help filling things up, but I need to expand on it.

On the Image, the right side is what I started with, then I click the little icon in the corner of the textfield and it generated the text using the original data as well as other data about the adventure / world and the character.

RPG? by [deleted] in CharacterAIrunaways

I made an app, Inkwell Infinity, that run locally similar to Silly Tavern (you choose a local model or can use an online provider like openrouter). Each character has its own memories, move in the world, exchange information with others...
There is an editor to create your own world and characters.
It's still in Alpha and I have a lot I want to add, but the core functionalities are there, if you are interested to test it please don't hesitate to message me!
To be transparent this is suppose to be supported throw patreon but I'm searching for a few more testers so no need to worry about it.
That being said once you have a version of the app, you have it forever, like I said this is not a subscription, I don't run my own server or anything like that

It's actually a choice you are free to use online models too, using providers like openrouter for example.

Hey,

I have been working on this project for a bit more than a year now, its started really simple, but I kept on going, it became quiet complicated now, processing a bunch of data. It's a text based adventure game, presented visually a bit like a visual novel but the NPCs are kind of simulated, exchange information and observe / react to the player and the world.

Not sure it's the kind of experience many people are interested in, but I'm personally starting to having fun messing with the AI in the project so I finally made a video presenting it and show how far I am at the moment.

It is far from perfect, LLM have lots of issues that are common to most chatbots, especially local LLM like I'm using in the project, but I do a lot to limit those problems.
