What It Is

Plottery is an AI narrator–driven desktop role-playing / text adventure app. Players enter actions or dialogue, and the AI narrator continues the story. It emphasizes that it is “not a website,” but a locally installed app, currently available for macOS Apple Silicon, Windows, and Linux.

Core Capabilities

Plottery’s main selling points are local execution and flexibility in model choice. Users can download the app’s recommended models with one click, choose any local model, or connect to a cloud API they already have access to. Compared with cloud AI games that charge by word count or compute usage, Plottery has no official limits on playtime or turns. The product also introduces multiple background agents to track world state, helping the narrator reference characters, quests, scenes, and world records in long-form stories, reducing the problem of “story forgetting.”

Pricing and Trial

The basic version is priced at €0 forever and includes all features, updates, unlimited play, and the ability to connect any AI model. An optional Marketplace subscription costs €3.99/month and comes with a 30-day free trial. It lets users browse and download scenes, characters, and story card packs published by other users in-game; downloaded content remains available even after the subscription is canceled.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are strong privacy and control: stories and saves are stored locally, and when using a local model, the app can run without an internet connection. It also supports saving, undoing, retrying, and editing narrator responses, making it suitable for refining stories over multiple iterations. The downside is that the current version is only v0.1.0, and stability, the model compatibility list, hardware requirements, Chinese-language support, and the scale of community content have not been disclosed. Output quality also depends heavily on the model chosen by the user and the performance of their computer.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Plottery is suitable for users who enjoy AI text adventures, long-form role-playing, interactive fiction writing, or who already run large language models locally. Access from China is not discussed in the main text. If using a local model, it should theoretically run without relying on the public internet, but downloading the app, models, Marketplace content, or connecting to overseas cloud APIs may be affected by network and payment conditions. Alternative options include other local LLM frontends, AI Dungeon-style cloud text adventures, or custom story workflows built with general-purpose chat models.
