Narratica 0.8.0: Suggested Replies & Story Chat Overhaul

Update 0.8.0 adds suggested replies, smoother story chat animations, and haptic feedback to make Narratica feel more responsive and easier to play.

Update 0.8.0 is all about making your storytelling experience smoother, more intuitive, and a lot more immersive. Here is what's new in the latest build on iOS and Google Play.

Suggested Replies

We love total freedom in TRPGs, but sometimes you open a chat, read a massive lore drop from the AI, and think: "Uh... what do I do now?"

To help fight writer's block and keep the momentum going, we've introduced Suggested Replies.

  • 3 pregenerated actions: Every single turn, the app will now offer you three tailored choices, helping you visualize exactly what directions your character can take in that specific moment.
  • Total freedom remains: Don't worry, free-form writing isn't going anywhere. Typing out your own unique actions is still the primary, intended way to advance the story.
  • Preview & edit: The best part? You can tap on a suggestion to preview it, completely edit the text to match your exact vibe, and then hit send. Think of it as a creative springboard.

Story Chat Overhaul

We've given the entire chat interface a major facelift under the hood.

We've added custom animations and integrated haptic feedback. Now, sending messages, receiving responses, and navigating the story feels incredibly crisp, smooth, and tactile.

It's hard to describe in text, but you'll feel the difference the second you send your first message in 0.8.0.


You can let us know how the new experience feels to you and share any feedback on our Discord.
