Membership & pricing
More nights on the shelf
Every turn of a story is written for you as you play, so playing spends credits — a small internal unit metered by what each turn actually uses. Reading is priced in turns below; the credit numbers are the fine print. All per-turn figures are typical, measured values.
Checkout is launching soon. Purchases will be processed securely by Paddle as our merchant of record. Prices are in USD. Taxes may apply and will be calculated at checkout. Until then, every reader plays on the free plan below.
60 credits a day (~3 typical story turns), banking up to 180 while you are away. New readers start with a one-time welcome pack: 600 credits with a Google-verified account (enough for a full playthrough, or your first crafted story) or 60 with email verification. The standard narrator, the full shelf, and story bookmarks are always included.

The fine print, plainly
- Turns are metered by what they actually use, so a long, elaborate turn costs a little more than a terse one. A typical standard-narrator turn is ~16 credits; translated turns typically add ~55.
- Subscription credits refresh monthly and expire at the end of each billing cycle; purchased pack credits never expire. Your balance always spends subscription credits first, then purchased, then free.
- Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Cancel any time — you keep access and that cycle's credits through the end of the period. See the refund policy.
- Crafting a story is metered the same way — the workroom quotes the typical charge and the required balance before anything spends. You only pay for what's used.
