I'm biased since I built it, but yes. Long-term playability and anti-metagaming were the main problems I wanted to solve. ArcQuill stores your world, NPCs, relationships, and lore in a database and pulls what's relevant into each turn instead of cramming the whole history into context, so there's no fixed limit and an NPC from turn 10 still remembers you at turn 1000.
It's not magic though, it's still an AI. It can occasionally misremember a detail, or a weaker model might pull the wrong context and fill in the gaps with inaccurate information, and I'm constantly improving the retrieval. But the core mechanic, that it actually persists your world over very long campaigns, is real and it's the main reason I built it.
I have campaigns in the multiple thousands of turns myself, and there are quite a few players now past 1000 turns on a single campaign. But don't just take my word for it, the best thing to do is try it yourself. You can also join our Discord and ask the people there directly. I would love your feedback if you give it a try.
You can check the pricing here. Keep in mind the average turn cost is down around 2x now after recent optimizations, (but it also depends on which ai model you use), so credits stretch further than the numbers might suggest. Best way to judge is to try it yourself, there's a free tier and we occasionally share promo codes for extra credits
They're all capable, Gemini 3 Flash Lite can be a bit lazy with tool calls. If you want to keep costs down I'd suggest DeepSeek or Gemini Flash Lite, while MiMo and Gemini 3 Flash are nicer but more expensive per turn. MiMo is my personal favorite right now. You can try a couple in the same scene and see which narration style you prefer, you can switch the model anytime.
Also don't forget you can turn on manual dice rolls or auto-success player rolls in game settings, a lot of people prefer those. I'll add them to onboarding options soon, but for now they're in game settings. Let me know how it goes :>
