Narrative design for interactive projects

Available for Microsoft Windows® and macOS®

Overview

Interactive stories are complex by nature and require powerful narrative design tools. Use articy:draft X as a visual database to manage all your storylines, characters, and variables in one single source of truth. From macro to micro, the nested Flow View helps you build coherent stories from start to finish—even when handling a myriad of player choices.

Integration

Integrating content from your narrative design tool into your game has never been easier. Hundreds of quests, thousands of items, countless lines of dialogue - all in your game with one click. Localization, flexible exports, a powerful API and ready-made integrations for Unity and Unreal create a seamless and efficient content pipeline.

From small indies to large AAA studios, teams rely on their narrative design tool to share up-to-date content. With integrated version control and detailed change history, articy:draft X supports seamless creative workflows, no matter where your developers, writers, or designers are located.
