Psyche is a psychological AI RPG. An AI Narrator interviews you in a conversational Profile Builder, builds a character from your real life, and drops you into your chosen world. The Narrator tells your story — drawing on your wounds, your people, your drives. Your world knows who you are.
Before your story begins, the Narrator asks 12-14 questions about your life — your roots, what you enjoy, what you obsess over, how you handle fear, what you're carrying. The more honestly you answer, the richer your story becomes. There are no wrong answers. Everything you share stays in this session only — nothing is stored on any server.
Tip: Play as yourself. The game is designed for real people, not characters.
Basic Mode — Pure story. Choose A, B, or C and the Narrator responds. No dice, no numbers. Just your decisions and their consequences.
RPG Mode — Adds a full d20 dice system. Every choice has a difficulty rating and a stat check. Your roll determines not just whether you succeed, but how cleanly — or how badly.
When you pick a choice, the game rolls a d20 and adds your relevant stat modifier. The result is compared to a Difficulty Class (DC). You'll see the full math: rolled 13 + 3 (Strength) = 16 vs DC 15 — SUCCESS.
Five possible outcomes: Critical Success (something extra), Success (clean win), Partial (succeed with cost), Fail (consequence), Critical Fail (catastrophic).
Not all choices are equal. Each option carries a different risk level — visible before you pick:
Your pattern of choices is tracked. Consistently pick A) and the world starts to know you're a risk-taker — and your story shifts to match.
Combat stats — HP, STR, DEX, CHA, MANA — drive moment-to-moment survival. MANA is Soul Development \u2014 your creative and spiritual force and connection to the deeper self.
Psych stats — IQ, EQ, WIS, STB, SHD, HON, VUL, OPT, PLY — derived from your intake and drift through gameplay. Your choices shift them over time. OPT (Optimism) and PLY (Playfulness) directly calibrate the Narrator's tone — high OPT means a more hopeful story, high PLY means wit and levity; low scores push toward darker, heavier narration. Hover any stat to see what it means.
Your psychological stats are not fixed. Make reckless choices and your Shadow (SHD) rises, your Stability (STB) falls. Show vulnerability in the intake and your VUL score reflects it. The world is a mirror.
