Hey. Built a thing, it's live, go break it:
SagaFlow is interactive text adventure platform(ai curated). Our news engine picks up real current events and turns them into playable branching storie. Multiple genres, multiple languages
The thing that makes us different: we're not "AI Dungeon but news-flavored." We obsessed over quality — the writing, the UX, the visual side. A lot of time went into prompting and a caching system that lets us reuse story scenes intelligently. At 10–20 steps with 3 choices each you get a practically unlimited number of outcomes, but we're not burning money on every single API call. That balance is the engineering core of why this works better (at least supposed:)
Who wants this
People who are sick of doom-scrolling. You read the headline, now you can step into it and see what happens if you make different calls. Also casual players who grew up on Choose Your Own Adventure and want that format but alive. Content creators who want a tool for their audience. And potentially businesses that want to gamify their pages to keep users around longer , that's a B2B angle we're exploring.
Market and competition
Interactive fiction is not new — Zork, Choose Your Own Adventure, AI Dungeon. But nobody owns "today's news as a playable experience" at any real scale. AI Dungeon drifted into chaos and lost focus. Choice of Games is great but fully static.
Broader context: AI tools, casual gaming, and media engagement are all growing. We're at the intersection
Where we are
Live. Not beta, not demo — real product, core features work. More functionality is coming but what's there is functional and stable. We support multiple languages simultaneously which honestly took work.
Money
Not raising. Don't need investment right now. Currently running free and unlimited for all users. Freemium model is coming — free tier stays, paid plans for power users and content creators, B2B integrations for businesses that want to embed gamified experiences on their platforms
Why
Decent background in AI, came originally from trading. This was a deliberate challenge for me , I never built a consumer web product before. Wanted to do something where quality actually mattered and where I could apply what I know about AI systems in a way that's visible to real people, not just a trading algo running in the background.(Tired of building invisible things.)
Roast the product, the UX, the business model, the idea, whatever. Good or bad — genuinely don't care which, just want to know what's broken or stupid.
