Spec score 8.6 #3 of 25 in Game Narrative Design Software

What it is

Poetix is a visual, node-based editor for branching game stories. Stories are organized into beats, dialogue, choices, conditions, and consequences, making the structure visible as connected narrative elements. An AI co-writer can suggest edits, but each suggestion waits for approval before changing a story. The simulator supports starting from a chosen beat, overriding variables, and inspecting condition results during playtesting. A story version can be published as a browser-playable link. For Unity projects, Poetix exports beats, choices, and variables and supplies a runtime API with ready-made dialogue and choice interfaces. Pro and Studio users may use their own OpenAI key instead of Poetix credits. Users retain ownership of created content and may commercially use resulting products without owing Poetix royalties or fees. The free plan includes unlimited stories and scenes, up to three writers per story, unlimited readers, 50 AI credits per month, and Unity export. Pro costs $15 a month; Studio costs $39 a month and supports up to 25 collaborators on up to five upgraded stories. Poetix says it is actively in development.
