Adventure
An Adventure, also known as a "Story", is an individual text-adventure record within AI Dungeon. Adventures are self-contained, and do not affect each other.
Adventures do not have a set end (unless you die on Hardcore Mode), and can be continued until you decide they are over.
How to start a adventure
There are two ways to start a adventure, or "story". You can start by pressing the "New Singleplayer Game" button, which will allow you to go to a menu of options. From there, type in the number for your preferred choice i.e. *I choose 1 (fantasy), then I choose 1 again, which is a knight.*

This is usually the most easiest way to begin a adventure, but there is a another way.
By using Scenarios. These are the "prompt" of a adventure, created by you, or another user. In order to begin a adventure with a scenario, you can choose one from explore, or simply go to My Stuff to play your own ones by pressing the play button.
Playing a adventure
When you've successfully chosen your options, or pressed play on a scenario, you'll see text appear, and generate before your very eyes.
You'll first start off with the normal commands such as undo, redo, remember, alter, and retry (depending on whenever the creator of the scenario has changed the gamemode, in which case see Game Mode). You can use these commands to increase AI coherency by removing its incoherent moments.
Two of your greatest tools are Remember and World Info, these can be used to create a world around your story with long term consistency. See those articles for help with usage.
You can also optionally use Quests, these can be used to set a direction for the player.

- Main article: Game Mode
AI Dungeon can be played in three different modes in your adventures. CREATIVE
, ADVENTURE
, and HARDCORE
.
CREATIVE
mode is the standard AI Dungeon experience, where you have full access to Undo, Redo, Alter, Memory, and Retry.
ADVENTURE
mode adds a level of difficulty to the experience, where you lose access to Alter, but retain access to Undo, Redo, Memory, and Retry. In addition, dying in this mode will end an adventure!
HARDCORE
mode takes the difficulty of Adventure mode one step further by denying access to Undo, Redo, Alter, Memory, and Retry completely. This mode will also end a player's run if their character dies! Not for the faint of heart!
