Hidden Door Launches Early-Access AI Story Platform With Creator Licensing Model

Users can craft adventures in public-domain or licensed worlds via a credit-based system sharing revenue with rights holders.

Overview

  • Hidden Door opened early access on August 13 with free-to-play access capped by a planned credit model for unlimited play and remix features.
  • The platform’s launch roster includes public-domain titles such as Pride and Prejudice and The Wizard of Oz alongside the licensed property The Crow.
  • Hidden Door forges direct licensing partnerships with authors and studios under revenue-sharing agreements that preserve creator control and provide fan engagement analytics.
  • Gameplay blends a guided AI Narrator with behind-the-scenes dice rolls and collectible cards to enforce structured narrative rules within each world.
  • Early hands-on reviews praise the platform’s premise but report slow response times, occasional text glitches, and storytelling that can feel narrowly guided.
