Between Sessions

Once Upon

A narrative RPG that plays itself while you work.

Pick a module — fantasy food cart journey or sci-fi survival mystery. Create your character. Set a task from your real life. Start a 25-minute **Pomodoro **timer and go do that task.

While you focus, the AI writes your next chapter.

When the timer ends, you come back to a new page of the story waiting for you. The world has moved. Your crew has done things. Someone said something you need to respond to. You read the chapter, make a few decisions from the cards on screen, type any free-form actions you want into the action box, and start another Pomodoro.

That's the loop. Not a game you grind — a game that grows alongside your real-life focus sessions, one chapter at a time.

• (Not in a work mood? Turn the Pomodoro timer off in Settings → Debug Mode and generate sessions on demand.)
• Two Modules At Launch:

The Wanderer's Table

** **— A fantasy cooking journey. You travel a continent with a food cart, a stubborn pony, and your grandmother's half-finished cookbook. Five great cities, five cuisines, no combat. The weapon is a pot. The magic lives in the kitchen. ~70-90 sessions.

Outpost Kaleo

** **— A sci-fi survival mystery. 31 colonists are missing. No distress signal. You have five crew, a damaged base, and one question: what happened here? Tiered lore revelation, psychological horror, multiple endings. Up to 31 sessions.

How It Plays

Every session gives you a fresh chapter, 3-6 decision cards, and a free-text action box. The AI runs NPCs, events, resources, and dice rolls behind the scenes. Your job is to steer, not micromanage.
