A New Era of Roleplay

I started roleplaying on GTA RP and WoW RP over 15 years ago. Back then, we’d spend months with the same character, building their story piece by piece. We’d connect every evening, weave relationships, live through story arcs that spanned weeks.

Today, I’ve grown up. I have less time. But the desire to live immersive stories is still there.

I know I’m not alone in this situation.

Discovering Space Station 13

That’s when I discovered Space Station 13. A game with HORRIBLE gameplay, controls from another era, but a GENIUS concept.

What struck me:

  • Complete sessions in a few hours: a story with a beginning, middle, and end
  • Emergent chaos: stories born from player interactions
  • Secret roles: some players have hidden objectives
  • Incredible system depth: each job has its mechanics, tools, and gameplay

I dreamed of playing something like this on a modern engine. And most importantly, we believe we can do the same thing in a medieval fantasy setting.

Why Hytale?

When we saw Hytale, everything aligned:

A Modern Engine with Modding at Its Core

Hytale puts modding front and center. It’s a game designed to be modded, not a game where you have to hack things together to make your ideas work.

An Atmosphere That Makes You Want to RP

Let’s be honest: Hytale’s atmosphere makes you want to roleplay more than Minecraft does. The graphics, the mood, the art style… everything invites immersion.

The Perfect RP Sandbox

Hytale will be the perfect RP sandbox. The building freedom, crafting systems, NPCs… everything is there to create stories.

An RP Community to Come

We believe a huge RP community will emerge on Hytale. And we want to be among the best experiences available at launch.

Our Vision: Video Game Improv Theater

We’re targeting a specific audience:

  • Parents who no longer have time to play for hours every night
  • Students who have an exam in two days
  • Casual players who want a complete experience without commitment

The goal is to bring back the concept of an improv theater piece in one evening.

Imagine: you connect, you receive a role, you play through a complete story, and by the end of the evening, you’ve lived something memorable. No need to come back tomorrow to continue.

The Taleweaver: Our AI Narrator

To keep the pace and prevent sessions from dragging, we decided to add an AI narrator: the Taleweaver.

It’s the one that:

  • Distributes secret roles at the start of each session
  • Triggers events to restart the plot
  • Ensures the story moves toward a satisfying conclusion

It’s the somewhat controlled aspect of a tabletop RPG with a game master, but automated to work with 30 to 50+ players.

Join the Adventure

Tales of Chaos is our answer: sandboxed Hytale RP in one evening. Like a grand improv theater scene where every player has their secret role. A complete adventure, without months of commitment.

Expected release: February 2026.
