CineFate

CineFate is an AI interactive story generator that turns a written premise into a story the user shapes by choosing what happens next. It combines a text premise with a fictional opening image, then renders each scene as photorealistic AI-generated video. It is built for people who want to write themselves, or a fictional character, into an unfolding story rather than watch a fixed narrative or plan a branching script in advance.

A story begins by setting the scene: the user describes the people, place and tension, then adds an opening image, either uploaded, chosen from an example, or created with AI. CineFate turns that setup into a video scene, and while it plays, two text choices are prepared. Picking one generates the next scene, and the unselected option does not become part of the story.

The opening image works as a character reference throughout the story, and each new scene also draws on the final frame of the previous one to help keep the person, setting and action connected. Selected events and relationships carry forward and guide later scenes, so earlier choices continue to shape what happens, while an unchosen option is treated as something that did not occur.

Every scene, including the opening, costs 10 credits, and a verified account starts with 20 starter credits. Users continue a story with monthly or yearly Story Credits or a one-time credit pack; one-time credits do not expire. CineFate does not offer unlimited generation, uploaded opening images must show a fictional character and be SFW, and payments are processed through PayPal.

Use cases
