Narrative Engine - Dialogue & Story System

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

Trigger scene or background changes directly from dialogue nodes to keep narrative moments dynamic and visually clear.

🧪 Demo Scene Included

A complete demo scene that showcases all core mechanics of the asset.

🎮 Best Fit Genres

KMA Dialogue System shines in games where story, choices, and character-driven delivery matter - the kind of dialogue experience players recognize from many popular titles:

• Visual Novel / Interactive Fiction - choice moments with controlled story progression, as seen in Steins;Gate, Doki Doki Literature Club!, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney;

• Detective / Mystery - interrogation-style conversations and clue-driven dialogue paths like Pentiment, L.A. Noire, Ace Attorney, Disco Elysium;

• Survival / Horror - narrative events and decision pressure with dialogue beats like Until Dawn, The Quarry, The Dark Pictures Anthology;

• Strategy / City-builder - advisor/event dialogues and story modules in the tone of Frostpunk, This War of Mine;
