Scene 01 · BellsworthExample
Polly Wickes, the flower seller, offers a sprig of lavender in a foggy gaslit market yard in Bellsworth

look

MARKET YARD, BELLSWORTH. Fog, gaslight, coal smoke and roasting coffee. You are Alice, new to the district and an hour lost. A flower seller comes out of the fog with a basket on her arm and a sprig of lavender held out to you.

Every scene is written live, so yours will go its own way.

Type anything

Type Anything, and See It

A text adventure used to understand a few hundred words. Mythx understands sentences. Ask a question, follow someone, try something nobody planned for, and the story answers in the world's own voice.

  • No parser and no command list: plain words in, story out
  • The people you meet answer as themselves and remember you
  • Your first scenes arrive with a picture of the moment
  • Free in your browser, with no sign-up and no download
Session log · The Hollow LanternExample

  1. Kethra Vayne dangles your new key from one finger. "So you're the one he picked. Congratulations. You owe people money now."

  2. Ask Kethra who he owed money to

  3. "Half the ward," she says, grinning. "But the one who matters? Ask Bram what he keeps locked in your cellar."

  4. Follow Bram down to the cellar
  5. Bram Tallow holds up a lantern in the stone cellar of the Hollow Lantern, beckoning toward a locked oak door

    Bram Tallow, the Lantern's cook, holds his lantern up to an old oak door with a rusted lock. "Nobody has opened that since he died. I never had the key. You do."

  6. Listen at the door

  7. Footsteps. Not behind the door: above you, on the roof.

  8. Climb out onto the roof
  9. Sylvaine Ashgrove, an elf ranger with a longbow, crouches on a moonlit rooftop and signals for silence

    Sylvaine Ashgrove, who runs the ward's night patrol, is already crouched on the ridge with her bow. She raises a finger to her lips and points down at the street.

Typed lines are plain words. Nothing here is a fixed choice.

From Zork to AI

Classic Text Adventure Games vs. an AI Text Adventure

Text adventure games began with Colossal Cave Adventure in 1976 and Zork a year later. They understood short commands, and every room and reply was written in advance. An AI text adventure keeps the idea, words in and story out, and drops the limits.

Interactive stories that hold together

A World That Remembers You

The usual complaint about AI text adventures is memory: a few scenes in, the story forgets who you are. In Mythx every world is a fixed place with its own people, and they keep track of you. Pay Kethra back and she remembers. Break a promise to Bram and so does he.

Each world also has its own day. People have jobs and routines, there are tasks to take on and places to travel, and morning turns to night as you play. Step away and the clock pauses, so the world is where you left it when you come back.

AI Text Adventure FAQ

Is this AI text adventure free?

Yes. It is free to start in your browser with no sign-up and no credit card. Free play includes 10 scenes a day, and your first scenes come illustrated; after that, free scenes continue in text. Premium adds unlimited story and up to 100 illustrated scenes a day.

Do I need to learn commands?

No. There is no parser and no verb list. Type what you want to do or say in plain words, the way you would tell a friend, and the AI narrates what happens next. If you would rather watch for a moment, let the narrator move the scene along.

Does it have pictures?

Yes. Mythx illustrates your first scenes in the art style of the world you chose, and the characters keep the same faces from picture to picture. Free scenes continue in text after that; Premium illustrates up to 100 scenes a day.

Can I make my own world?

No. Every adventure takes place in one of 13 hand-built worlds, which is what lets their people keep jobs, routines and memories of you. You can design your own hero’s look in the character creator.

Is it like AI Dungeon?

Both are text adventures where you type anything. The difference is that Mythx gives every story a fixed world with its own cast, places and art style, remembers the people you meet, and illustrates your scenes. There is no custom scenario editor and no mature setting.

Do I need to download anything?

No. The text adventure runs in your browser on a computer or a phone. There are also apps for iOS and Android if you prefer them.

Can I save my adventure?

You can play without an account. Sign in with Google to keep your adventure for good, to continue it on another device, or to buy Premium. An adventure played without an account is deleted after 24 hours of inactivity.

Is it safe for teens?

Mythx is filtered and has no mature setting. Players must be 13 or older, with a parent’s or guardian’s consent for minors.
