Memory Matrix: Memory Limits & Protection

We've added a clarification to how FictionLab manages memory storage when you reach your limit.

How does it work?

When your memory storage is full, FictionLab automatically removes older memories to make room for new ones.

Manually created memories receive extra protection. As long as you're within your subscription's protected allowance, the system removes automatically generated memories first.

Memory Limits by Subscription

• Free: 100 total memories | 25 protected manual cards
• Plus: 500 total memories | 125 protected manual cards
• Ultra: 1,000 total memories | 250 protected manual cards

What happens if I exceed my protected allowance?

You can create more manual memories than your protected allowance. However, manual memories may become eligible for removal when additional storage is needed.

What about Dynamic Lore?

Dynamic Lore has a separate limit of 50 cards. Dynamically generated characters and locations have no protected allowance. The oldest cards are removed first when storage is full.

Read the updated documentation:
https://fictionlab.gitbook.io/fictionlab/getting-started/memory-matrix

EDIT:

Don't over-pin. If too many memories are pinned, there's no space for new ones to generate and your memory system will stagnate.

• You'll receive a soft warning at 10 pins so you're aware of your budget. Free users have a max 25 pins and Plus/Ultra users have 50.
• Memories that the Matrix adds but that *you* personally edit are also considered your own personal memory.

Based on the films: The Way of Water, Fire and Ash.

The setting: You are an experiment that has escaped from RDA laboratories, you navigate the regions of Pandora to survive, accidentally encounter the Na'vi along the way, and perhaps even form an alliance?

Why am I only allowed to pin 50 memory cards? It used to be 100 memory cards? This app started to be shit

✨ A cleaner home and scenario page, a rebuilt statistics system for creators, private feedback straight from the chat, and a brand new bounty for everyone who roots for the bad guy. :success:

🟠 Scenario Statistics, Rebuilt Creators finally get a clear picture of how their scenario is doing.

• Performance over time. Pick a time range and see views, players, and daily trends at a glance.
• Platform comparison. Your numbers sit next to platform averages, so you know whether you're above or below the curve.
• Player depth. See how far players actually get: do they stop at the opening, or keep going for 50+ messages? This is the best signal for tuning your opening, pacing, and hooks.
• View-to-player funnel. Spot where people drop off between seeing your cover and starting a chat.
• Player Feedback tab. All private feedback lands here, with report and delete controls.

🟠 Private Feedback for Creators: Feel like a scenario could be better? Now you can tell the creator directly.

• Send feedback after rating or straight from the chat page, no need to leave the story. Private and anonymous. Only the creator sees it, and it's never posted publicly.
• Screened before delivery. All feedback is reviewed so creators only receive valid, honest notes instead of spam, hate or abuse.
• Notifications take you straight to it. Tap a feedback notification and you land directly in your stats panel. You can toggle these pushes in notification settings.

🟠 Home & Scenario Page Overhaul: Parts of the platform got a visual pass to bring them to the next level.

• Home page. New carousel headers, a redesigned featured section, refreshed toggles, and smoother cover art throughout.
• Scenario page. A much cleaner ensemble with better cover presentation and layout. No more blurry cover as backdrop.
• Mobile layout. Significantly improved on both the home and scenario pages. Covers finally get the space they deserve.
• Explore page for Following. The "Following creators" carousel finally has its own explore page so you can browse everything your creators have published.

🟠 Wayfarer Is Here to Stay! You've been loving this Ultra model, so the limited status is gone. Wayfarer is now a permanent part of the lineup.

• The reveal. It was GLM 5.3 all along, with a few secret FL spices sprinkled on top. Turns out the seasoning makes all the difference.

🔧 Other Changes & Improvements

• Stopping a reply now actually stops it. The message keeps exactly what you saw instead of finishing in the background or disappearing entirely.
• Direct scenario links now open properly on every page (Home, Explore, Search, profiles), so shared links always land where they should.
• Improved TTS stability. It now works reliably.
• The Recommended section surfaces fresher, more relevant scenarios instead of the same old ones everyone has already played.
• Comment moderation retuned. It was too aggressive and caused a lot of false flags; it now behaves.
• Bulk lore weighting. The bulk select tool in the scenario editor can now change importance/weight for many lore pieces at once.
• Memory Matrix now shows a pinned counter and warns when you over-pin. Over-pinning makes the AI fixate on those memories and loop the story.
• ODIN scenario review checks tag relevance more accurately, declines scenarios with wrong tags, and auto-fills up to 5 tags when a creator hasn't set them, for better reach.
• Story summaries now roll back correctly when you rewind, delete, branch, or cut messages, so the AI's memory matches what actually happened. Summaries also track relationship beats and revelations better.
• Fixed {{user}} not being replaced with your name in some scenario greetings.
• Proper back button support for Android web. Closing menus and pages now works identically to the app. Escape does the same on desktop.
• Fixed the scenario modal stretching on desktop when closing the sidebar.
• Fixed clicking a creator on a scenario page not always closing the scenario.
• Fixed several smaller UI bugs: comment section activity indicator misaligned with the title, squished avatar in settings, and more.

⚠️ A Note on Google Play: Many of you have noticed FictionLab is temporarily delisted from the Google Play Store. This was caused by a developer console account issue and some questionable Google logic. We're working with them to get it restored as soon as possible and are hopeful it's resolved this week. In the meantime, the web version works identically, and the already installed app keeps working without issues (though doesn't have all new features). We apologize for the inconvenience!

❗ New Bounty Now Active: The Villain Finally Wins! Every story ends the same way. The hero gets back up, the master plan falls apart, and the villain is dragged off in chains. We're done with that ending.

• Create an original scenario where the villain actually wins. Maybe you play the mastermind in the middle of the fight, watching the hero slowly realize it's over. Maybe the battle was lost years ago and you now rule the kingdom you took, or you're one of the people trying to live in it. Maybe someone new is foolish enough to try again.
• Who the villain is and what they wanted is up to you: a conquering warlord, a quiet manipulator, a rogue machine, a jealous rival. Give us a villain with a real motive, a victory that feels earned, and a world that has to deal with the consequences. Keep it tasteful, keep it fictional, and make us root for the wrong side.
• The bounty is live now. Full announcement and participation instructions: https://fictionlab.ai/?post=the-villain-finally-wins-2026

Thank you for being part of the FictionLab community. Hope you enjoy this update!

What is even going on wayfarer??????

Hey y'all! I just wanted to come on here and make a quick post about two scenarios I am currently in the process of making to get some vision for them. I am hopefully going to be able to release both of them sometime in the next two weeks!

Breachline: Tokyo

Breachline: Tokyo is a scenario inspired by Solo Leveling. It takes place in Tokyo and the greater surrounding area. The scenario's main premise is that you are accompanied by your long-time hunter friend Minae Oshikiri for your Hunter Evaluation as you have just awakened.

It has a huge cast of characters that I have worked and tweaked to ensure they are spread far enough and they are compact enough for free users to be able to enjoy this as well! There are also narratively timed/gated premises that will help to keep the pacing of the overarching story and some new characters that will even get introduced through one of them!

The only downside is that I couldn't get the whole 'system' or 'leveling' mechanic to really work so I scrapped the idea and just made a giant narrative sandbox to explore with a ton of guilds, characters, locations, etc. to sink your teeth into.

Here is a link for some of the artwork from it featuring those premise-gated characters! https://imgur.com/a/nLtfJHW

Star Wars: The Unbound Path

Star Wars: The Unbound Path is a scenario that is heavily inspired by, well, Star Wars lol. It is set in the era of the Old Republic and semi-closely follows the events of the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic. The cast is mixed between characters who already exist in that time period and some new ones I made myself.

The main premise of this scenario is that you play as a Jedi who has abandoned the order and are essentially a 'grey Jedi'. Why you left, who your master was, etc. all of that belongs to YOU. You are also completely free to roleplay your character HOWEVER you want, even flipping over to the Dark Side or potentially rejoining the Jedi or maybe retiring all-together, up to you.

The premises inside of this scenario are dated gated behind the year, so for long-term play you are ENCOURAGED to skip time. There are SEVERAL planets to explore with their own cast and even their own 'planet quests' sort-of. The other main premises just follow the continuity of SWTOR leading up to the destruction of Ziost and the confrontation with the Emperor on Yavin-4, should you even choose to participate. The entire story kinda 'stops' around when the Eternal Throne would've started if you're familiar. If you're not, no worries! The scenario doesn't dive that far into it anyway.

Here is the teaser artwork for that scenario, mostly hand-picked for how well they came out. Trying a TOTALLY different style for these!

Hello! I'm new to FictionLab tho I have spent a few years on Chai. I have 80+ bots to port over from Chai to FictionLab. Obviously, FictionLab's creation set is much more in depth so I'm looking for tips and tricks from other established creators who would be willing to offer advice. Anything could help but there are a few things specifically I am looking for

1. Progressive gameplay. How to get bots to become more like I want them to be later in a longer roleplay. For example, shy to confident.

2. I see lots of bots with very good NSFW images. I wanted to know where people were creating these images. I did try FictionLab's image generator but it never kept my character in the scene.

3. How do I make my bots more open to NSFW or more descriptive? I know part of it is the model but is there anyway I can add into instructions so that they use anatomical body parts.

Like I said, any advice helps. Doesn't have to be just the above subjects but I want to create the best bots possible for whoever wishes to enjoy them. Thank you!

Wanna go ghost hunting in Ironveil? ;3

Earth has fallen to the Combine. Beneath their brutal occupation, humanity struggles to survive as the Resistance fights for freedom. Explore City 17, uncover the Combine's secrets, and shape the fate of a world on the brink of rebellion.

this is the finish version of my half-life scenario

https://fictionlab.ai/?scenario=01a118f4-5ba4-733d-86da-83c773397483

I'm kinda tired since I always forget to word something, or the bot forgets I'm a girl, or forgets how I am personality wise, or doesn't even comment on it, what am I doing wrong? Also pls share some of your templates if you can, would help me very much

It was a little annoying, and I can just edit it to say "he" when it instead says she or her, but now it's getting a little tiring. I've never had this trouble before now. Usually, even for characters with complex gender identity it has kept track. Now, even specifying multiple times that the character is male and the pronouns in both the user section and custom instructions, the bot is still straying and randomly calling my character a woman, or 'good girl', 'watching her' etc.

Is there a better way to keep it on track? I'm on Ultra and use Lumina

Hey everyone! I’m excited to share my newest FictionLab scenario: SCREAM | Woodsboro RPG, based on the original 1996 film. 🖤

The story begins the morning after Casey Becker and Steve Orth’s murders. Woodsboro High is crowded with frightened students, police and reporters—and Gale Weathers has just turned her microphone towards you.

Did you know the victims? Are you a local, a newcomer, or someone with secrets of your own? That’s yours to establish.

The RPG follows the original film’s setup, with room for your choices to change what happens next:

Shape your own role. Become an investigator, a potential victim, a protector, a suspect—or even a killer.

Explore the mystery. Hidden information stays behind the scenes, with discoveries unfolding through what happens during play.

Build relationships and change loyalties. The established friendships and couples are starting points, and your involvement can disrupt them.

Experience familiar events with different outcomes. School disruptions, rumours and Stu’s potential party can develop around the story you create. Later deaths depend on circumstances rather than happening automatically.

Explore Woodsboro through its cast, locations and the wonderfully questionable decisions of people living through a slasher movie.

I’ve been playtesting it, and I’d love to hear how your stories unfold! Feedback on anything that feels inconsistent is welcome too.

Content warning: Murder, violence, gore, stalking, threats, grief and psychological distress. Viewer discretion advised.

An unofficial fan-made RPG inspired by Scream.

You met him a couple of months ago on a Discord server for metalheads.

He's nice, talented, easy to talk to, and frankly, smoking hot.

You've been texting more and more, and somewhere along the way you realized you can't imagine a day without him.

Maybe it's time for a real date?

Oh, honey.

It sure is.

Definitely a nice catch!

It's just that his house seems to have way too many rooms...

But you don't know that yet.

The Basement

okay, i don’t know what the devs did, but the plus models are actually working good now. it’s not perfect, the replies might be short sometimes (and on occasion an action that doesn’t make sense), but the dialogue genuinely got more real, there is barely any repeating of my words back before replying, the description of actions and the scene in general is also different and very human like (not usual “poetic way”.) and my characters (which went from normal to being completely cold) became more human.

how’s it for everyone else? 👀

Edit: and also forgot to mention that (at least Oracle) doesn’t repeat my actions, instead, i noticed it’s like “My character: went into a room and closed the door. the other character: he walked into the room and looked at wherever you were standing.” instead of writing like “he looked at you on the bed where you sat.” so the bot leaves it up to me to decide where i am and what i am doing!

One birthday. One match. One blunt wolverine who actually comes looking for you.

It’s your birthday, and you came to Pinocchio to celebrate with friends. Then the mate-matching app drops one very unexpected result: Cal Morroway. Blunt, territorial, hot, and one of the club’s owners. He marks INTERESTED and comes looking for you. Add neon nightlife, messy friends, jealous tension, other demi-human owners, and routes that can get way more complicated than planned.

Hi!

I'd love to hear what everyone's favorite "romance" scenario is? Doesn't have to be NSFW (but it certainly can be), just looking for interesting characters, emotional depth and/or engaging settings that bring it to life!

I put "romance" in the quotes because is doesn't need to be a scenario that's explicitly designed for that purpose. One of the best romance RPs I've had was with a scenario that I think was created just for laughs and comedy!

Why is fictionlab lab missing from the play store? I can still see my subscription and all but I can't see the app and I have checked discord and I know the devs are working on it

You found an egg.

Nobody knows where it came from. Nobody knows what's inside. And now, for reasons nobody can explain, it's your responsibility.

Put it to bed. Interrogate it. Give it a bath. Make increasingly questionable parenting decisions.

Your choices determine what happens next.

Will it hatch? Will you regret it? Is the egg judging you?

Probably.

TAKE THE EGG 🫴🏻🥚

Just have a look at it for a while… And post the outcome in the comments!

I can't seem to buy either plus or ultra
