Questner
Questner is a browser-based platform of text-driven adventure games where an AI Game Master narrates the story and adapts it to the choices each player makes.
About
Questner is a text-based gaming platform where an AI Game Master runs a personalized story for each player. Instead of following fixed scripts, the games respond to what players type, letting them steer the plot, make decisions, and shape how each adventure unfolds.
The service runs in a web browser and requires an account, with sign-in available through Google or Apple as well as standard email registration. Players pick a game from a searchable library, start a new session, and return to their saved adventures under a "Your Games" section. The catalog covers preset scenarios — such as an adventurer's-guild story where staying in character matters, a gritty London street-economy simulation, and a street-survival drama — plus a Custom Adventure mode where players define their own setting, character, party, and quest. The platform states that new games are added regularly, and it maintains an About, FAQ, Support, and Blog section alongside community channels on Discord, Reddit, and Facebook.

Who It's For
Questner suits fans of text adventures, interactive fiction, and choose-your-own-story games who want a story that reacts to their input rather than a fixed plot. It also fits tabletop RPG players who lack a group or a human game master, since the AI fills that role. Creative writers can use Custom Adventure to prototype characters and settings in a responsive narrative environment. Finally, casual browser gamers looking for a story-driven break — playable without installing anything — are a natural audience, though the platform's 18-and-over requirement limits it to adults.
