Before a big choice
Branch first, then choose.
Branch at the message that offers the choice, then take a different door on each path. Neither choice has to be the one you regret.
Tap a choice when the story offers one, or type your own move, and the storyteller tells you what happens next. Branch from any message to take the other road: the path you left stays exactly as it was, and the branch map keeps every route in view.
Each path keeps its own recap
The short answer
Yes. On LoreWeaver an AI storyteller plays out each scene in response to your choice, whether you tap one the story offers or type your own. You can branch from any message to follow the road not taken while the original path stays untouched, and a branch map shows every path you have opened. It is free to start, with 20 replies in any community world before you make an account.
Updated
Every way to steer
| Tool | When it appears | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Opening suggestions | A new story, before your first move | The storyteller suggests three first moves: one to act, one to speak, and one to look closer. |
| Story choices | When a world’s Loom thread offers them | Up to six choices appear above the reply box. Tap one and it becomes your move. |
| Branching Choices | Every 4 turns, once a world installs it | A Loom template that offers 3 choices on a steady rhythm, rewritten by the world’s creator to fit the story. |
| Your own move | Every turn | Write any action, line of dialogue, or narration. No list of options ever limits you. |
| Branch from here | On any message | Starts a new path from that point. The original is left alone. |
| Rewind to here | On a reply with story after it | Deletes everything after that reply for good and cleans up the memories from that stretch. |
| New version | On the latest reply | Plays the same turn again. Switch between versions and keep the one you like. |
Inside a branch
Branching copies the story up to the message you picked, with the memories written by then, into a new story of its own. The branch map shows it beside the original, which stays untouched and ready to continue.
From the fork on, each path saves its own memories and builds its own recap, so what you promised on one road stays out of the other’s memory. Rename a branch after the choice that made it, and the map reads like a table of contents.

The warden’s keep · Midnight
The warden
“Most climbers take the ember door. You chose the stair, so tell me what the moon promised you, and I will decide whether you pass.”
Playing it well
Before a big choice
Branch at the message that offers the choice, then take a different door on each path. Neither choice has to be the one you regret.
Mistakes
Rewind when a reply went wrong and you want it gone for good. Branch when the other road deserves a story of its own.
Names
A new branch takes the story’s title with “(Branch)” added. A name like “The moonlit stair” tells you at a glance where it went.
The map
The branch map draws every path as one tree, marks the message each one forked from, and shows its turns and recap before you continue.
Off the list
Offered choices are suggestions, not a fence. Write a fourth option in your own words, and the story takes it as seriously as the rest.
Second takes
Not sold on the latest reply? Ask for a new version of the same turn, compare the two, and keep the one that opens the better door.
Openings with a fork
“The ferry splits the river into three channels. One is lit, one is singing, and one is very quiet.”
“Two letters arrive on the same morning, both addressed to you, and each one says not to open the other.”
“The elevator offers floors one through nine and a button with no number that is warm to the touch.”
“Your guide stops at the fork and admits she has never gone past it. Left smells of the sea. Right smells of smoke.”
“The heist is set for midnight, but the vault door is already open and the guard is waving you in.”
“The flood will reach the village or the library first, and there is only time to warn one of them.”
For creators
Premise
Write the premise and tone, then add one or more openings. When a world has several, players pick the one they start from.
Choices
Install Branching Choices for 3 options every 4 turns, or write a Loom thread that offers choices when the story reaches a place, a flag, or a turn you pick.
Consequences
Have a thread set a flag when a player takes a path, then open or close later scenes on that flag, so the door they skipped stays shut.
Publish
Add a cover, a content rating, and at least three lore cards, then publish. Every player gets a copy of their own, with room for as many branches as they like.
Questions
It is a story told in the second person where you decide what happens at key moments, the way gamebooks once sent you to a different page for each choice. With an AI storyteller the story is made as you go, so any choice gets an answer, including ones no one planned for.
Both work. A new story suggests three first moves, and worlds built with story choices show options to tap at the moments their creator picked. Between those, a short line like “take the left door” is all a move needs.
Use Branch from here on the message where the choice appeared. You land in a new copy of the story at that point, take the other option, and the first path waits for you on the branch map.
Branching keeps everything: the new path starts beside the old one, and nothing is deleted. Rewinding cuts the story back to a reply you pick and permanently deletes everything after it, cleaning up the memories from that stretch.
Up to the fork, yes: a branch begins with every memory saved before that point. After the fork they part ways, each saving its own memories and recap, so a betrayal on one path never turns up in the other’s recap.
There is no set limit. Each branch is a story of its own in the same world, and the branch map draws them all as one tree, with the message each one forked from.
Yes. Create a world with a premise and openings, add story choices with the Loom, track what players chose with flags, and publish it to the Hub for others to play.
Yes. Play 20 replies of any community world without an account, then keep going on the free plan with unlimited replies from the free storyteller and 25 premium replies a day. Branching, rewinding, and the branch map come with every plan.
