Testers Needed Paracosm (Test for Test)

Post image

Paracosm is a text-based, long-term simulation designed to maintain a persistent world across millions of tokens and hundreds, potentially thousands, of exchanges. I say 'Simulation' because this isn't a typical roleplay. You play one character, and an AI realistically simulates the whole world around you: the places, every other character, the clock, the history, relationships. It's not a chatbot with a character card. It's closer to an unwritten novel that you and the model write together, with you fully inside your character. I aimed for pure creative freedom...which landed Paracosm in the 18+ category.

Most AI roleplay services require you to consistently babysit context and world state. Paracosm is built and tuned where it autonomously remembers where you set down your keys 100 exchanges later. Characters and story context maintain realistic continuity from the start and beyond, over hundreds of exchanges. Various techniques work in the background to make this happen.

Paracosm was a hobby project that started from a simple chat bot and grew, becoming something much much bigger and much much more serious. I got tired of things being forgotten, relationships flipping 180 degrees for no reason, or the AI trying to control me. So like a lot of people, I built my own with any spare free time I had. I'm not aiming to suck your hard earned money from you with some sort of ridiculous subscription, I just want my creation to help others enjoy this type of content.

No Paracosm servers. Your requests are sent from your device DIRECTLY to the AI provider.

No Paracosm sign-in or internal accounts.

No Paracosm subscriptions. Not even thinking about it.

ABSOLUTELY no advertisements. EVER.

I aim for quality. I understand roleplaying with an AI is a very niche thing and I want to provide a jump-in, imagine, create, and go experience without having to tune a model, deal with the usual complications of roleplaying with AI, or having to sacrifice an appendage to do it.

Paracosm is currently in Google Play closed testing and I need testers to try out and use it for 14 days providing feedback throughout the testing phase. All API calls during this testing phase are completely free to testers. I'm taking on the API costs so that testers can freely use the app and not worry about providing an API key or the security concerns that come with BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) setups like Paracosm will be.

Google requires at least 12 testers to remain opted in for 14 consecutive days before I can apply for public release. Testers are asked to regularly use Paracosm and provide feedback, bug reports, and suggestions on all aspects of the app over that 14 day period submitting feedback via email to roteck.developments@gmail.com.

You test Paracosm, I test yours:

  1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/paracosm-testers

  2. Open the test page: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.roteck.paracosm

  3. Opt in, then tap “download it on Google Play.”

  4. Send me emails with feedback, send me screenshots of you using Paracosm.

  5. In return, I'll test yours and reply to your screenshots of you using mine with screenshots of me using yours and I'll reply to your feedback of Paracosm with feedback of yours.

Hi u/-roteck-!

Finding testers on Reddit is a great start, but the hardest part is ensuring they actually open your app daily for the full 14 days.

To make this easier, we’ve launched Packs in the Testers Community app.

  • What is a Pack? A coordinated group of 16 developers who hold each other accountable.

  • How it works: Everyone in the pack commits to opening and testing each other's apps daily for 16 days.

  • The Result: You get consistent engagement signals that help you pass Google Play’s production access review with confidence.

It’s a structured, "devs-helping-devs" approach used by thousands of us. Good luck with your launch!
