Every scene illustrated on demand, in any art style you can imagine
Go Anywhere, Do Anything
This is a game with no rails — no preset choices, no scripted endings. Type what you want to do and the world plays out the consequences.
Characters aren't waiting for their next line: they pursue their own goals, interact with each other, and react to what you do.
Not a Chatbot. A Simulated World.
Most AI story apps hand you a chat window and call it a day. DreamRunner is a game: a simulated world where characters, locations, and events keep their own state — and the writing, art, direction, and voice all flow from what's actually happening in it.
A Cast That Remembers
Every character keeps their own memories, written from their own point of view. The grumpy mentor and the wide-eyed apprentice recall the same scene very differently — and act on it.
Art That Knows Your Story
Scene illustrations are composed from your real story state — character appearances, outfits, location, even your point of view — not from a generic prompt.
Voices You Design
Describe a voice in plain language — "warm, gravelly, slight British accent" — and every line is spoken aloud in it. Each character and the narrator gets their own.
You Pick the Brain
Choose from over a dozen AI models across six providers, then tell it exactly how to write with custom instructions. Your story, your author, your rules.
Hear Your Story Out Loud
Full voice acting for every line — a distinct voice for each character and the narrator. Design voices by describing them, tune volume and pitch live, and let your story play out like an audiobook you're inside of.
Every one of these voices was designed from a single sentence of plain description — the same way you'll make your own. Press play.
Illustrate Any Scene, On Demand
One click and Depict reads the current scene and paints exactly what's happening — the characters, the setting, the mood, framed from your point of view. Don't love it? Generate as many variations as you want.
Stories That Never Lose the Plot
The world remembers how you played it. DreamRunner keeps running summaries of your playthrough and gives every character their own personal memory. Hundred-scene epics stay coherent, grudges are held, promises are remembered — and you can view and edit what the world remembers at any time.
Enjoy Community Stories or Create Your Own
Play adventures shared by the community or describe a character or world in one sentence and let the AI build it for you.
Everything Is Yours to Edit
Create or edit characters, outfits, locations, and story text anytime — or just describe what you want and the AI fills in the details.
Select a Visual Style or Create Your Own
Pick a curated style or build your own from a huge library of AI image models — mix architectures, checkpoints, and LoRAs until it's exactly your aesthetic.

Play Free NowFrequently Asked Questions
Is DreamRunner.ai free to play? +
Yes. The free plan lets you create and play AI-generated stories and generate images at no cost, with rate limits that reset over time. Upgrading unlocks premium AI models, voice, scene illustration, more art styles, and unlimited generation.
What is an AI visual novel game? +
It's a game played inside a simulated world rather than along a scripted plot. In DreamRunner the writing, artwork, and characters are generated as you play: you type whatever you want to do, the world plays out the consequences, and the scenes, illustrations, and voiced dialogue follow from what actually happens.
Can the characters actually speak? +
Yes. Every line can be spoken aloud with full text-to-speech. Each character and the narrator gets a distinct voice, and you can design new voices just by describing them in plain language.
Can I create my own characters and worlds? +
Absolutely. Describe a character or location in one sentence and the AI generates the full details — name, personality, appearance, outfits and more. You can edit anything by hand at any time, and share your stories with the community.
Which AI models power the stories? +
You choose. DreamRunner supports over a dozen text models across providers like Google, Anthropic, DeepSeek, xAI, and OpenAI, plus a wide range of image models. Custom instructions let you tell the AI exactly how you want it to write.
Do I need to download anything? +
No. DreamRunner.ai runs entirely in your browser on desktop and mobile. Just open the app and start playing.
