Inkwell Infinity

Play stories. Write worlds. Keep it on your machine.

Inkwell Infinity is a text adventure sandbox where a local AI acts as your Game Master. Explore living locations, talk to characters with their own schedules, fight when combat is enabled, or just live in the world, sci-fi colony, medieval court, horror town, cozy slice-of-life, whatever your adventure is built for.

No two playthroughs need to read the same. Type natural actions and the game interprets them.

What you can do

As a player

• Rich scenes: location backgrounds, music, animated UI, narrative log, and optional voice narration.
• Living worlds: NPC schedules, time of day, inventory, progression, economy, and more (per adventure).
• In-game phone: messaging, gallery, and extensible apps when the Phone plugin is on.
• Persistent saves: pick up where you left off.

As a creator

• Adventure editor: build locations, characters, scenes and more.
• AI-assisted authoring: generate and refine content with integrated LLM tools.
• Optional image pipeline: hook up ComfyUI for location and character art.
• Plugin system: turn combat, theft, skill checks, and other systems on or off per adventure.
• Templates: start from a base world and customize it.

Built for sandbox social simulation

Inkwell is designed for open-ended social simulation, not a single genre. Relationships, routines, secrets, jobs, rumors, and emergent situations matter as much as combat and you choose which systems each adventure uses.

---

Privacy & offline play

Runs as a desktop app (Electron) with local backends. Your stories, saves, and models stay on your machine. No account required to play your own adventures.

You provide and configure compatible local LLM runtimes; setup is part of the install.
