Narrative Engine is a complete narrative tool for Unity that helps you build interactive dialogues with branching choices - plus saving and rollback to return to previous decisions.
Create clean, game-ready dialogue UI for both PC and mobile, drive scene/background changes directly from the dialogue flow, and ship story interactions faster with a demo scene included.
Perfect for indie teams and commercial projects that need narrative features without overcomplicated setup.
💬 KMA Dialogue System - Core Capabilities
🧩 Visual Dialogue Builder (Nodes & Branches)
Build dialogues as a clear node-based flow: lines, choices, transitions, and progression logic - organized and easy to maintain.
🔀 Branching Choices
Choice buttons appear only when the story requires them, keeping the UI clean and focused on decisions.
💾 Dialogue Checkpoints, Saving & Rollback
Set up checkpoints, saving, and rollback behavior directly inside the dialogue flow - ideal for “your choices matter” scenarios and replayable story moments.
🖥️📱 PC + Mobile UI Layouts
Included layouts for PC and mobile:
- dialogue window size adapts to text length;
- speaker nameplates and portraits appear based on who is currently speaking.
🏞️ Scene / Background Switching from Dialogue
