Is there a game where you can be a writer?

Writer life simulator

Yes. A writer life simulator is about the days of a writer: ideas, cafés, deadlines, and people. LifeSim lets you play a writer in a real city on a 3D map. Every chat is open text, so writing is how you play.

How to play a writer in LifeSim

  1. Describe your writer in the text box, and what they write.
  2. Name a city, such as Dublin, Paris, or Edinburgh.
  3. Find a real café or library with place search, and make it your writing spot.
  4. Set a goal such as "finish the first draft". At the end of each day, read the recap of your moments.

Questions

Is LifeSim good for people who like to write?

Yes. You make your character in one text box, and you talk to everyone in your own words. There are no dialogue menus.

How is it different from AI Dungeon?

AI Dungeon is a text adventure with no map. LifeSim puts your story on a real 3D map, with people who have routines and memories.

Can I read back what happened?

Yes. Each day ends with a recap of its moments, and people keep a journal of past events.
