About
Hidden Door is a unique story game platform, established in 2020, that blends roleplay with fan fiction. It utilizes a proprietary generative AI platform to adapt existing works of fiction into online social roleplaying games. Players can create characters, choose from curated worlds (like Oz or Cthulhu), and play stories where their choices change the world. The platform features a "fractal combinatorial trope engine" that combines human-written plot beats with ML tools, world rules, and player choices to craft dynamic narratives. Users can also "remix the rules" using earnable modifiers and share their worlds with friends. While some content is family-friendly (13+), "Mature" worlds may contain R-rated content, with strict controls against harmful material. The art is hand-drawn, and the AI models are not trained on authors' direct books but guided by editorial takes. The business model will eventually include paid access to worlds, but free options will always be available.

FAQs
Who are you people?
We're a diverse team of story, game, and tech enthusiasts, including machine learning scientists, game designers, and artists.
What is this game? Fanfic meets role-playing? How do I win?
It's a first-person story game where you navigate challenges. You explore untold stories, and your choices change the world. You can't 'win,' but you can succeed by exploring and unlocking content.
Is this AI?
Yes, it's a unique blend of proprietary generative AI and artisanal machine learning, crafted with care.
Wait, so how does it work?
It's a fractal combinatorial trope engine combining human-written plot beats, ML tools, world rules, player choices, characters, and trope soup to create dynamic stories.
Do you train AI models on authors’ books or movie scripts to make this work?
No. We read and analyze works, then create editorial guidance for our system, rather than training directly on original content.
What about the art?
All art is hand-drawn by our team of artists. We prioritize sparing use of high-quality art over mass-produced, uncontrolled generated assets.
What’s your business model?
Eventually, we will charge for access to some worlds, sharing revenue with creators, but free worlds and stories will always be available for play.
Is the platform LGBTQ+ friendly?
Yes! We empower you to define your identity and relationships, and we respect your choices. The game is a space for exploring aspects of self.
Is there sex?
Only in worlds that explicitly permit it, with a tasteful fade to black otherwise. Abusive or harmful content is strictly prohibited in all worlds.
Recently players got Darth Vader to say “Fuck”. How does your system prevent this?
We use a dictionary and classifier to manage language, translating inappropriate player inputs to PG-13 while still allowing creative experimentation.
I have an idea for a world! Can I make it?
Self-serve world creation is not yet available. If your world is public and has an online fanbase, please connect with us to discuss.
Is Hidden Door family-friendly? Are there parental controls?
The platform targets players 13+ (PG-13 equivalent). 'Mature' worlds contain R-rated content. Control is at both platform and author levels.
How involved are authors/IP holders in the process of creating their Hidden Door narrative/world?
Most authors are deeply involved. We collaborate on player entry points, characters, plotlines, writing style, tropes, and genre mixes.
Are there options to create dialogue in the worlds or is it mostly action based?
Stories feature both action and relationship-based plots. Conversation and dialogue are a significant part of the experience, but it's not a chatbot.
How long does it take to play through a full world?
A scene takes 5-8 minutes; stories are 1-3 scenes. Collecting every card in a world typically requires 6-8 stories, but you can continue playing beyond that.
