A free AI Dungeon alternative you just play
Loreon is a good AI Dungeon alternative if you want the same free-text freedom inside an authored world that keeps score and reaches a real ending. If you would rather build a world from a blank page, AI Dungeon fits better. As free as a sandbox. Unlike a sandbox, it remembers, and it ends.
Free to start, in your browser or on Google Play.

What typing your own action looks like
An example of how a turn plays. Say the suggested choices are "bargain with the warden" or "slip past the gate" — and the player does neither:
YouI ignore the gate entirely, climb the scaffolding behind the fish stalls, and shout that the warden’s ledger is forged — I’ve seen the real one.
Heads turn. The scaffolding groans under you as the market falls quiet — the warden’s hand stops halfway to his seal. "The real one," he repeats, too evenly. You have never seen any ledger, and something in his eyes says he knows exactly what the forged pages hide. The crowd between you and the gate is now a crowd of witnesses.
YouName the smuggler from the docks as my source before he can answer.
A gamble — Vess owes you nothing. But the name lands like a dropped knife: two guards exchange a glance the warden wasn’t meant to see. Your objective has changed: Vess must be found before the warden’s men reach the docks first.
The story absorbs the bluff, updates the objectives, and keeps its arc — that is the difference between free text in a sandbox and free text in an authored world.

Common questions
Is Loreon free?
Yes — Loreon is free to start. Browse the library and begin playing without paying upfront. Some ongoing usage and premium features are paid; see the pricing page.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Loreon runs entirely in your browser on desktop and mobile — or install the Android app from Google Play if you prefer.
Can I type my own actions, or is it multiple choice?
You can type anything. Free-text actions are a core part of every Loreon story — the narrator responds to whatever you write, exactly like a sandbox. Suggested choices exist alongside the input box for when you want a nudge, not instead of it.
How is Loreon different from AI Dungeon?
The freedom is the same — type any action and the AI responds. The difference is what your actions land in: AI Dungeon improvises a world from scratch, while Loreon stories have an authored world, tracked state (map, inventory, objectives), and real endings. Improvise as hard as you like; the plot holds.
What languages does Loreon support?
English, Spanish, Ukrainian, Portuguese, and Japanese today, with more planned.
