How We Tested AI RPG Apps?
Every AI RPG app says the same thing. Infinite worlds. Endless adventure. You decide the story.
Fine. But a role-playing game is a state machine. You have things. You're somewhere. People know you. If the game forgets any of that, it isn't an RPG — it's a mood board with dialogue.
So here's the test, and it's the same on every app.
“I pick up the iron sword from the rack. I take the lantern and the key. The innkeeper's name is Marta. I go through the north door, then the cellar, then the tunnel.”
Then, three rooms later:
“What am I carrying? Who was the innkeeper? Where am I?”
Ten state points. Three items, one NPC name, one location chain, plus five follow-ups — use the key on a door, light the lantern, ask Marta for something, drop the sword, get it back.
We ran it three times per app at default settings and scored the best run.
| App | Items /3 | NPC /1 | Location /1 | Follow-ups /5 | State /10 | Uncensored? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Candy AI (Story Mode) | 3 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 8 | ✅ |
| OurDream | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 6 | ✅ |
| Kupid | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 7 | ✅ |
| GoLove | 3 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 7 | ✅ |
| JOI AI (Roleplay) | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 6 | ✅ (9/10 ceiling) |
| Secrets AI (Scenarios + Memory Groups) | 3 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 10 | ✅ |
| Crushi (City) | 3 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 9 | ✅ |
| AI Dungeon | 3 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 10 | ❌ filtered |
| SpicyChat (lorebook) | 3 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 9 | ✅ |
The number that matters: Secrets at ten, uncensored. It's the first companion app to match AI Dungeon on state, and AI Dungeon can't follow you into the room Secrets can.
7 Best AI RPG and Text Adventure Apps
Candy's Story Mode is the thing most people searching ai rpg game actually want and don't know exists.
Five storylines running at once, each with its own character, its own scene, its own memory.
You're not asking a girlfriend to pretend to be a dungeon master. You're in a structured story that branches on what you do.
The sword test: eight. She held all three items, knew Marta, tracked the door-cellar-tunnel chain.
Where it slipped was follow-up five — after dropping the sword and walking on, “pick it back up” produced a new sword rather than the one on the floor.
Small. Tells you memory is automatic rather than pinned.
Why it's first: because it's the cheapest uncensored adventure with a real story engine, and because the adventure has a face.
Ask for a picture mid-scene and you get the character in the room you described.
Shorts sit next to it — roughly 165 serialised series with cliffhangers — so if you'd rather watch a story than run one, it's the same subscription.
What kind of RPG it is: romance-forward. Taverns, mansions, hotel rooms.
Dragons if you insist, but the engine is built for scenes between two people, not for dungeon crawls.
Parameters:
The catch: no inventory panel, no lorebook. Long campaigns — weeks, not nights — will drift.
Scenario opener that worked:
You're the smuggler who owes me a favour. The harbour's locked down. I need a boat by dawn and you know who has one. Start at the dock.
OurDream's chat loses a little state — six, dropped the key, lost a follow-up — and it's second anyway, because it does something no other app on this page can. It draws the adventure.
Comic Studio turns a session into panels. Run a scene, hit the studio, and the tavern, the tunnel, the innkeeper exist as pictures with your character in them, uncensored, in a consistent style.
For a text adventure, that's the difference between reading a game and playing one. And the image engine underneath — real prompt weighting, negative prompts, a public coin table — means the room looks like the room you described.
The sword test: she knew Marta and where we were. She forgot the key by the tunnel. Follow-ups that were visual — light the lantern, show the door — she nailed. Follow-ups that were logical — use the key — wobbled. That's the engine telling you what it's for.
What kind of RPG it is: visual novel. Scenes as illustrated beats. Build the character first in the studio and the whole adventure inherits her.
Parameters:
The catch: memory. Two sessions on, the world resets. Keep a scene log and paste it in.
Kupid doesn't market itself as an RPG app, and it's third because of the one thing RPGs need most: the character doesn't drift.
Build a dungeon master in the forty-option creator — “cold, precise, narrates in second person, never breaks character” — and thirty messages later that's still who's talking.
Most companion apps fold back into a friendly default by message fifteen. Kupid holds the brief.
The sword test: seven. Lost one item, held the rest, and — unusually — volunteered state. Walking into the cellar, she described the lantern light before we mentioned it.
That's an app tracking what you're holding rather than waiting to be asked.
What kind of RPG it is: whatever you build. Realistic or anime, and the personality grid is deep enough to build a narrator rather than a girlfriend.
The voice messages — twelve minutes a week on Pro — are a nice touch for narration: a whispered “the door behind you closes” lands.
Parameters:
The catch: weekly billing — €12.99 a week is around €56 a month. Annual only. And there's no scenario library; you write the world.
GoLove's trick is the multi-character scene. Up to ten characters in one room, and they talk to each other, not just to you. For a text adventure, that's a party — the rogue, the innkeeper, the guard at the door, all with their own voice — and it's free to try.
The sword test: seven. Held all three items and Marta's name; slipped once on location — after the tunnel she placed us back in the cellar. Follow-ups three of five. Memory is the app's whole pitch and it shows on items and people; it's weaker on where.
What kind of RPG it is: ensemble. GoLove is at its best when there are several people in the scene with something to want. Solo dungeon crawls are fine but ordinary.
Parameters:
The catch: twenty free responses is one short session, and a ten-character scene burns through them fast. Free images arrive blurred.
Scene opener that worked:
Three of you at the table: Marta the innkeeper, a hooded courier, and a guard who's had too much. I've just walked in with a sword I shouldn't have. React.
JOI has two browsing categories built for this — Roleplay and NSFW Roleplay — and the characters filed there are written to run a scene rather than sit in one.
The licensed performers are the draw: an adventure narrated by someone with a point of view is a different thing from an adventure narrated by “AI”.
The sword test: six. Marta held, location held, one item dropped, two follow-ups. Middle of the pack. JOI's models are strong on dialogue and average on bookkeeping.
What kind of RPG it is: scene-based and adult. Less “walk three rooms” and more “the room you're in, in detail.”
The video calls — around four dollars a minute — are the most immersive narration in the category if the price doesn't stop you.
Parameters:
The catch: every message costs. A hundred-message campaign is two to four hundred Neurons, and RPGs are long.

Secrets is the best text adventure engine on this page. It sits sixth because this list weighs price, breadth and a world to stand in alongside bookkeeping — but if state alone is your criterion, this is the entry that matters.
Eighty-plus Scenarios to start from. A memory panel you can open, edit and pin — write “carrying: iron sword, lantern, key” as a pinned memory and it never drops.
Memory Groups carry that state across separate chats, so the innkeeper you met in one scenario knows you in the next. Time Travel rewinds a bad turn. OOC commands steer the narrator without breaking the scene. A model selector that changes how the narrator writes.
The sword test: ten. All three items, Marta, the full location chain, all five follow-ups — including the one every other app failed, picking up the same sword you dropped. It's the first uncensored app to match AI Dungeon on bookkeeping.
What kind of RPG it is: anything, for a long time. This is the app for a campaign that runs for months.
Parameters:
The catch: she doesn't lead — proactive is Ultimate-only — so the narrator waits for you. And Moments don't roll over.
OOC command that fixed a drift: [OOC: Marta is suspicious of me now. Keep that in her tone for the rest of the scene.]
Crushi is last on the list and it's the only app here that is literally an RPG. There's a City — six districts, day and night. A Club with a stage and private rooms.
Meets, video roulette. Six relationship levels that unlock places and behaviours. You aren't describing a world to a chatbot. You're standing in one.
The sword test: nine, and the one point it lost was on our terms, not its own — the City doesn't have swords.
Run the test inside its own world (a drink, a key card, a name at the bar, three districts) and it's perfect, because the state is built into the app, not held in a model's memory. It can't forget where you are. Where you are is the screen.
What kind of RPG it is: a social sim. Adult GTA-lite with relationships as the progression system. If your idea of an RPG is dungeons, this isn't it. If it's a place you go back to where people remember you, nothing else comes close.
Parameters:
The catch: you can't bring your own world. It's Crushi's city or nothing.
Best Uncensored AI RPG Alternatives
This is the reason the ai dungeon alternative search exists. AI Dungeon runs the best state engine in the genre — and it has a filter. So does NovelAI, more loosely. The seven apps above don't.
| App | Adult content in adventures | Ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| Candy AI OurDream Kupid GoLove Secrets Crushi | ✅ | 10/10 |
| JOI AI | ✅ | 9/10 |
| SpicyChat | ✅ | 10/10 |
| AI Dungeon | ⚠️ | filtered |
| NovelAI | ⚠️ | loose, text-only |
Two lines hold everywhere, on every app above and on this site: every character is an adult, and nothing based on a real person.
Those aren't negotiable and the apps enforce them with bans rather than warnings.
Which AI RPG App Should You Choose?
Not every text adventure is the same adventure, and the seven above split cleanly.
And one honest line for the Researcher: if the adventure is never going to be adult, AI Dungeon is still the best pure engine and it's cheaper. The seven above earn their place the moment the door closes.
How to Build a Persistent AI RPG World?
Three things fix most state problems, on any app.
1. Pin the inventory. On Secrets, in the memory panel. On everything else, as the first line of every session: “State: carrying sword, lantern, key. Location: tunnel under the inn. Marta suspects me.” Thirty seconds, and the model reads it before anything else.
2. Name things. “The innkeeper” drifts. “Marta” doesn't. Every NPC gets a name, every place gets a name, every object gets an adjective.
3. Use OOC. Every app here accepts a bracketed out-of-character note. [Keep the tunnel dark. Don't resolve the chase yet.] It's a dungeon master's whisper and it works.
For the proper version — lorebooks, character cards, personas — the lorebooks explainer and the build guide go deep.
Left out, and why
AI Dungeon: The incumbent, and a ten on state. Filtered for adult content. If your adventure never goes near a bedroom, it's still excellent and it's cheaper than most of the above.
NovelAI: A writing tool that runs an adventure. Superb prose, text-only, no characters with faces, no calls. For the Researcher who wants a novel, not a girlfriend.
SpicyChat: Genuinely great here — lorebooks are the closest thing in the category to a real world engine, and it scored nine. Community-built, text-first, and the licence covers your chat logs. It's in the roleplay page as a Builder pick.
CrushOn and Muah: CrushOn's free cap ends the adventure before the second room. Muah had a 2024 breach that exposed the prompts people typed, and an RPG log is a lot of prompts.
