s[TOR-Y]telling: Closed Loop is out now!

major update

s[TOR-Y]telling: Closed Loop · published

Today, October 28, s[TOR-Y]telling: Closed Loop is out in full! Type what your character says, propose what happens next, and see how AI characters respond. Every scene gives you room to be curious, playful, dramatic, or wonderfully unpredictable.

Thank you to everyone who tried the demo and joined us during Steam Next Fest. Your time with the game meant a great deal to us, and we’re excited to welcome you into the full release.

Your story, your choice of AI

Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI) means you can run local AI on a compatible GPU with no AI usage fees. In single-player, local AI can run offline. If you prefer, optional Cloud AI uses credits, requires an internet connection, and offers paid credit packs through Steam. It’s a choice you can make for the way you want to play, with no subscription required.

A full campaign and a cast to explore

The complete narrative campaign with TOR-Y is ready to play. Alongside it, the full game includes 50 built-in characters and scenarios. Settle into a conversation, try a new situation, or use the AI-assisted creator to make your own characters and scenarios. You bring the ideas; the scene makes space for them.

Let the whole scene speak

Up to nine AI characters can share a scene. They can respond to what you type and to one another, so a conversation can take a turn you didn’t expect. You can also configure their reply order when you want to guide the rhythm of an exchange.

Bring friends into the story

Steam multiplayer gives you two ways to play together:

  • Party Mode: Each player has their own character and takes turns shaping the scene.
  • Free Mode: Players propose events and vote on what happens next.

Built-in voice chat lets you talk as you play. Guests don’t need hardware for local AI inference: the host powers the AI through a local GPU or optional Cloud AI.

Make it a shared event

Streaming? Your Twitch or YouTube audience can join in by sending !story events. Give viewers a way to contribute ideas while you play, and find out together where the scene goes.

The game is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS (Apple Silicon), with multiplayer cross-play and Steam Cloud saves. The interface and content are available in English and Brazilian Portuguese.

Get the full game, or try the free demo if you’d like to step into a scene first. For questions, feedback, or support, visit the Steam Discussions. We can’t wait to see the stories you bring to life.
