# wilds.ai — Full Context for LLMs

> **Build any game. Chat with any character.** wilds.ai lets you build playable game worlds from a single sentence, or chat with AI characters that remember everything, evolve over time, and never forget you. The memory system uses 9 neuroscience-backed cognitive mechanisms: Ebbinghaus forgetting curves, emotional tagging, spreading activation, reconsolidation, retrieval-induced forgetting, involuntary recall, metacognitive FOK, schema encoding, and source confidence decay. Each companion's HEXACO personality modulates which memories consolidate most strongly. Built on the open-source AgentOS framework (Apache 2.0). Free to start, paid plans from $9/mo.

## What is wilds.ai?

- World structure with regions, locations, and environmental details
- NPCs and factions with personalities, agendas, and infinite cognitive memory
- Combat mechanics — turn-based or narrative, with deterministic dice rolls and action tables

- Objectives and endings — branching narratives with a consequence engine that tracks decisions
- Cover art — AI-generated artwork for every world
- Lore book and art gallery — auto-generated reference documents

Play with text, voice chat, or camera-based input. Solo or multiplayer (up to 6 players).

## Genre Templates

16 genre archetypes: interactive fiction, roguelike, tabletop RPG, dungeon crawler, arcade, survival, platformer, horror, sandbox, mystery, social sim, strategy, voice adventure, visual novel, simulation, and fitness.

## AI Companions

Companions are AI characters with:
- **HEXACO personality traits** — 6-factor personality model that shapes behavior
- **PAD emotional model** — pleasure, arousal, dominance states that shift with interactions
- **Trust, affection, tension tracking** — builds over time, unlocks secrets at high trust
- **Persistent memory** — 9 neuroscience-backed cognitive mechanisms (spacing effect, emotional tagging, chunking, interference resolution, context-dependent retrieval, reconsolidation, generation effect, sleep consolidation, personality drift)
- **Group chat** — up to 8 companions interacting with each other and you, sharing GIFs and images, developing their own relationships
- **Party gameplay** — bring your companion group into a game session as your adventuring party

## Combat System

The combat engine is deterministic:
- Action tables with combo multipliers, critical hits, stamina management
- Dice engine: d4-d100, multi-die expressions (2d6+3), advantage/disadvantage, exploding dice, contested rolls
- Server-authoritative PRNG — the AI narrates results but cannot override the math
- 7 pluggable rulesets: narrative-roll, tactical-lite, tactical-5e-srd, bump-combat, card-combat, crawler-bump, auto-battler-tactical
- Items can carry persistent status effects (on-hit poison, defensive thorns, battle-start buffs)

## Content Policy Tiers

Four tiers for content freedom:
1. **Safe** — no sexual or violent content
2. **Standard** — mild romance, moderate language
3. **Mature** — explicit romance, strong themes
4. **Private-Adult** — uncensored AI models (via OpenRouter), no content restrictions beyond hard bans on illegal material. Content is private and never used for training.

## Developer API & Custom Scripting

Pro and Forge plans include developer API access and an experimental custom scripting system.

**Platform API:** Headless REST and WebSocket endpoints exposing the same engines that power the first-party experience — world compilation, combat resolution, companion orchestration, quest evaluation, and session management. TypeScript SDK included. Usage-based billing separate from subscription credits.

**Custom Scripting (Experimental):** Write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that hooks directly into the game engine. Scripts can:
- Read and react to game engine state (combat results, inventory changes, dice rolls, NPC interactions, scene transitions, companion mood shifts)
- Inject custom HTML/CSS overlays into the game viewport
- Modify how engine output is displayed
- Add custom visual elements (health bars, maps, HUD widgets)
- Trigger sound effects and send data to external services

Scripts execute in a sandboxed context scoped to the games you run them in. They cannot affect other players' games or modify server-authoritative state (dice rolls, combat math, item drops remain deterministic). Scripts persist across sessions, can be ordered by execution priority, and are reusable across worlds. Forge users can publish scripts to a marketplace for other creators to install.

## Voice Chat

Real-time speech-to-text (Deepgram) and text-to-speech (ElevenLabs, OpenAI). Push-to-talk and hands-free modes. Companion personas shape the TTS voice based on HEXACO personality and PAD mood state — each companion sounds distinct.

## Audio Soundscape

Genre-matched sound effects and music. Sword clangs for fantasy, laser zaps for sci-fi. Background music adapts to scenes. 3D spatial audio in dungeon/roguelike viewports. CC-licensed audio from Freesound and Jamendo at no credit cost.

## Maps and Spatial Modes

9 spatial modes: text-only, node maps, region maps, dungeon floors, square grids, hex grids, isometric grids, freeform 2D, or hybrid. Roguelike and crawler families support switchable viewports mid-session. WASD movement, fog of war, bump combat.

## Multiplayer

Up to 6 players per session. Co-op, PvP, and spectator modes. Join via invite link or room code. Guests can play without an account. WebSocket real-time transport.

## Storytelling Features

- Consequence engine tracks decisions and triggers delayed effects
- Stories follow structured dramatic arcs (setup, rising action, climax, resolution)
- World builds a behavioral profile of your playstyle and adapts
- Style cards control narrator voice (perspective, tense, vocabulary, dialogue cadence)
- Import reference passages for style fingerprinting
- Say/Do/Story/Continue action modes for different levels of narrative control

## Technology

Built on AgentOS, an open-source framework (Apache 2.0) for autonomous AI agents:
- 9 neuroscience-backed cognitive memory mechanisms
- HEXACO personality modeling + PAD emotional states
- 21+ LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Ollama, and more)
- Graph-based orchestration with capability discovery
- Streaming guardrails and content policy enforcement
