AI Turns Your Text into a Story: Text-Based RPG 'Saga & Seeker' Adds 'Branch Generation' Feature for Infinite 'What-If' Storylines

Saga & Seeker, a TRPG-style 'text-only RPG' that uses text-generation AI to create one-of-a-kind stories simply by letting players input what they want to do, has released its v1.2.0 update on July 9.

The v1.2.0 update introduces the new 'Branch Generation' feature, allowing multiple inputs at any point in the story. Each input can now be continued as a separate 'branch,' enabling players to enjoy different story developments individually.

Not only can players casually experiment with various inputs, but combined with the newly added 'Session Restoration Function,' they can now replay completed stories and enjoy alternative 'what-if' routes.

Experience Saga & Seeker, where your imagination can now unfold more freely than ever before!

◆ Watch the gameplay trailer here:

Saga & Seeker (shortened to 'SagaShika') is a story-crafting game that digitizes the character-play experience of 'TRPGs' using text-generation AI. Unlike traditional games with preset choices, players directly type what they want to do, and characters react accordingly, advancing the story based on your input.

Additionally, the 'Saga & Seeker Official Portal Site' allows players to upload original characters and scenarios, and publish their gameplay logs to revisit anytime.

The portal site is mobile-compatible, enabling players to review their stories anytime, anywhere, almost exactly as they appeared in-game.

◆ Enjoy Story Branches Freely with the New 'Branch Generation' Feature

The newly added 'Branch Generation' feature in v1.2.0 allows players to restart input at any desired moment in the story, making it easy to explore alternative story paths.

During a quest, pressing the 'Input Again' button opens the branch management screen. Here, players can select any past turn to make a new input or choose from previously created branches to continue from that point.

◆ Replay Completed Stories with the 'Session Restoration Function'

The v1.2.0 update also introduces the 'Session Restoration Function.' Previously cleared quests and even abandoned ones are now saved, allowing players to reload and continue from where they left off.

Previously, SagaShika only allowed one suspended quest at a time, but this update now enables players to enjoy multiple storylines in parallel.

Even stories that have reached their epilogue can now be continued if players wish. For branched stories, all branches are saved, and players can resume from any of them.

◆ Additional Convenient Features, Including Character Sorting

This update also adds highly requested features such as 'Character Sorting.' Players can now create custom folders to better manage their many original characters or those created by other players.

Saga & Seeker will continue to receive regular updates, including new features, in the future.

◆ Game System Overview of 'Saga & Seeker'

・ Simple gameplay: Just write what you want to do

The game progresses through repeated cycles of 'narrative descriptions' generated by AI and 'player action inputs.' Input content is entirely up to the player—no matter what you type, the AI will weave it into the story.

・ Full free-form character creation

In Saga & Seeker, not only the player's character but also NPCs in the party can be fully customized from scratch. Detailed stat and skill customization is possible, and character background text can be freely input. These texts are reflected in actual gameplay by the AI, creating unique stories for each character.

・ Infinite customization of experiences through imagination

Skills and 'memories' earned upon quest completion are automatically generated by AI to match the quest content, accumulating one-of-a-kind experiences for your character. Character data can be edited anytime, and for those seeking deeper experiences, an original quest import function is also available.

・ Share your creations

Original characters can be shared with other players via character sheet import/export functions. Upon quest completion, an HTML-formatted 'Quest Log' is generated, which can be reviewed on smartphones and shared online.

◆ About the Use of Generative AI

This game uses text-generation AI as part of its system. However, all in-game illustrations, sound effects, and other assets are created by human artists. No AI-generated assets are used except for the text generated during gameplay.

Saga & Seeker aims to be a game where players and creators can unleash their imagination and craft their own unique stories.

◆ About Dagdoria Studio

Dagdoria Studio, founded on the concept of 'rough, therefore interesting,' was established with the mission of delivering new and innovative game concepts without compromising their raw, unpolished charm.

Saga & Seeker is a work that creatively utilizes generative AI as a new 'toy.'

While generative AI is notoriously difficult to control, it also has the fascinating ability to produce results beyond imagination. By intentionally delivering this 'wild horse' in its raw form, we hope players can experience the charm of 'rough, therefore interesting.'

Dagdoria Studio will continue to dig for untapped gems of fun, not limited to generative AI alone.
