# aiga_ - Full Platform Reference

> aiga_ is the definitive platform for AI-illustrated text adventures. It transforms interactive fiction into a visual reality where every choice creates artwork and shapes living worlds. Play solo, co-op, or build with a community.

aiga_ is a web-based AI game platform built by AI Worx Ltd. It combines generative text AI storytelling with real-time AI image generation to create illustrated interactive fiction experiences. Players make choices that drive narratives forward while the AI generates artwork for every scene and manages intelligent NPCs with persistent memory.

The platform supports single-player and multiplayer modes, with games playable on the web, through a Discord bot, a Telegram bot, or via X integration. Worlds are built using a structured system with defined lore, characters, factions, locations, and storylines.

Core mechanics:
- Storytelling engine: AI-generated narrative events with multiple choice options, free-form chat between events, and custom player actions.
- Character interaction: players can talk to NPCs, investigate, try custom actions, or mention specific characters and the Game Master for targeted interactions.
- Persistent memory: characters remember past conversations and events, while world state evolves based on collective player decisions.
- AI art generation: every scene is illustrated with AI-generated artwork, with multiple art styles available per world.
- Multiplayer: private games support up to 10 players, public games support up to 50 players, and group decisions use real-time voting.
