How Roleplay Mode Works

Actions, thoughts, scene-setting.

In roleplay mode, your character is physically present in a scene with you. This is collaborative storytelling, closer to a novel than a text conversation.

The world around the character exists. They can pick up a cup. Walk across a room. They can also think — you can hear their internal voice, shown in italics, running alongside what they actually say out loud.

What defines roleplay mode

  • Characters describe actions (leans against the counter, adjusting her glasses).
  • They have inner thoughts shown in italics.
  • Mixed narration and dialogue.
  • Longer, richer responses. Raise the max tokens setting.
  • Physical presence matters — it all shapes the scene.
