What things cost
A turn is one exchange: you write your Seed, and Lifspel writes the next passage of the story.
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| A turn (at Standard prose, the default) | 6 |
| Starting a story, or the next scene | 6 |
| Narration: hear a passage read aloud | 6 |
| Illustration: a picture of the moment | 11 |
| Refine or Rethink a passage | 6 |
| Inner Knowledge: ask what your character knows | 4 |
| A suggestion (an action, a place, a scene idea) | 1 |
| Refining a scene idea | 2 |
| AI help in the Scenario Builder | 4 |
| The Fates, editing a passage's words, Revert, Lock and Mute | Free |
Prose quality is your choice in Settings, and only the cost of a turn changes with it: Brisk (quicker, lighter) is 3 credits a turn, Standard 6, and Literary (our strongest writer, polished every passage) 16. Everything else costs the same at every level.
Questions
Do I need a card to start?
No. Create an account and play on the free credits. You only add a card if you choose Standard. Top-ups are for Standard members.
What happens when I run out?
Actions that cost credits pause until your next monthly credits arrive, or until you add a top-up. Your stories stay saved either way.
Who pays in a co-op story?
The player who started the story (the host) pays for its turns, narration and illustrations.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time, from Settings. You keep Standard and its credits until the end of the month you paid for. Used credits are not refunded. The details are in our Refund and Cancellation policy.
