Director Mode

Director Mode is a Story Mode exclusive option that shifts your role from player character to all-powerful narrator. Instead of controling a single protagonist, you take the seat of a god-like author — writing and directing any character in any scene, from any angle.

What Director Mode is

In standard Story Mode, you play as your chosen character in first or second person. You are in the story.

In Director Mode, you are above the story. You write like a novelist or a screenwriter:

Direct your protagonist’s actions and inner thoughts
Step into an NPC’s perspective and write what they do next
Cut to a scene happening elsewhere — in another room, another city, another character’s private moment
Control the pacing of the narrative itself

The AI responds to all of it, continuing whatever thread you’ve handed it and maintaining consistency across every perspective you switch between.

How to enable it

When starting a new game, select Story Mode on the mode selection screen. A Director Mode checkbox appears below the Story Mode option — tick it before launching your game.

📝 Note: Director Mode cannot be toggled on or off after a game has started. Set it at game creation.

How it changes the AI’s behavior

In standard Story Mode the AI writes in second person (“You step through the door…”) and treats your input as actions from your character’s perspective.

In Director Mode the AI switches to third-person omniscient narration. It treats your input as a story writer. You can control any character and switch scenes any way you prefer.

Your input	What the AI writes
`Kira crosses the empty throne room alone.`	Third-person prose from Kira’s perspective
`Meanwhile at the captain's quarters, Captain Jack stares at the treasure map.`	A scene from the captain’s POV
`Time moves on. Kira and Maren, one year later....`	A timeskip scene

The AI follows your lead on whose perspective is active and adjusts its prose voice accordingly.

What you can direct

Any character

Everything you could do in standard Story Mode — direct their actions, write their inner monologue, describe what they notice.

Scene cuts

Jump to a completely different location or time. Write a scene happening simultaneously elsewhere. Flash forward. Flash back. The AI maintains continuity across cuts.

The narrator’s voice itself

Write in a true omniscient authorial style — describe dramatic irony, hint at what’s coming, let the narration “know” things no single character does.

Memory System in Director Mode

The Memory System works the same as in standard Story Mode. Important moments are stored and retrieved regardless of which character’s perspective they happened from.

💡 Tip: If you write key scenes from an NPC’s perspective — a private conversation, a secret decision — those events can be stored as memories and later referenced when your main character discovers them. This lets you build dramatic irony that the AI will carry forward.

When to use Director Mode

Director Mode suits players who want to:

Write ensemble stories with multiple point-of-view characters
Build dramatic irony — letting the reader (you) know more than any single character does
Construct complex plots that span multiple factions or locations at once
Approach Isekaigen as a writing tool rather than a game to be played inside
Worldbuild through play — exploring how different characters experience the same events from their own side

Standard Story Mode is better if you prefer the immersive “you are the protagonist” feeling.
