s[TOR-Y]telling: Closed Loop — Press Kit

Factsheet

Description

You are the narrator of a story no one wrote.

In s[TOR-Y]telling: Closed Loop, a local large language model — running entirely on the player's machine, with no cloud, no account, and no internet required — plays every character and improvises the entire story in response to whatever the player does. There is no script and no rails. Talk your way out of a Yakuza interrogation by insisting you're Santa Claus. Adopt a mischievous cat. Challenge a berserker barbarian to a bake-off. Whatever you throw at the cast, the AI continues — in character.

Then invite company. Stage ensembles of up to nine s[TOR-Y]s who reply to the player and to each other. Play online in Party Mode (every player their own inhabitant of the scene) or Free Mode (rival events, table votes, winner drives), with full cross-play between Windows, Linux, and Mac. Streaming? The Twitch and YouTube audience plays along with !story. Create new characters from a one-line concept. And all along, the sandbox is quietly feeding a hand-authored visual-novel campaign: your interactions drive which paths open — that's the Closed Loop.

The first genuinely fun consumer showcase for local AI — a polished "it just works" product for the thing the local-LLM community already loves doing by hand.

System requirements — the short version

Multiplayer guests need no GPU at all — the AI runs on the host's machine, so any 64-bit PC with 8 GB RAM can join a session. Single-player and hosting recommend a 12 GB VRAM GPU (RTX 3060-class). The game detects the hardware and scales.

About Curious Biped

Curious Biped is a solo studio from Brazil, founded by a computer-graphics and AI researcher. s[TOR-Y]telling: Closed Loop is its debut — a bet on a simple idea: that the first great consumer use of local AI isn't productivity, it's entertainment. Everything in the game runs on the player's own hardware, offline and private.
