Summary
Montreal-based startup Storycraft, an AI-powered game platform allowing players to create and share interactive story worlds, has raised $3m in a seed round that it will use to expand the team and product development ahead of its beta launch this year.
Players use generative AI to create characters and narratives in a range of genres.
The multiplayer mobile game also includes social gameplay and a user-generated content-driven economy.
Early players have noticed a resurgence in their creative interests, with some reporting that the game has helped overcome writer’s block and even reduced anxiety, aiding as an outlet for expression.
Co-founder Andy Mauro aims to create the “Minecraft of storytelling”, a space for any aspiring storyteller to bring their ideas to life with the help of AI and collaborative creativity.
Investors include Khosla Ventures and London Venture Partners.
