The last signal
About 30 seconds. One decision.
Two ways to leave the observatory.
The observatory
The storm has swallowed the coastline. Inside the abandoned observatory, a signal is still repeating. Then, through the static, you hear your name.
The station has been silent for thirty years.
One choice. Two endings. A short vignette made for this page.
03 / From an idea to a playable world
Your writing, scene composition, and story paths in one creative environment. Stay with the idea, all the way through.
Write without losing your flow
Write a conversation. Introduce a character. Add a choice right where it belongs. No code, and no manual node wiring.

Free media capacity counts unique original files. Local history and generated derivatives don’t count toward the 1 GiB. Technical file and device limits apply to both plans.
AI is optional and uses separate credits. Final allowances are still to be announced. Your own MCP agent uses its own model access.
A few good questions
Made for artists and writers. Built around the way a story takes shape.
No. Write dialogue, stage artwork and add choices, relationships, items and endings through the editor. An ordinary story needs no authored code or manual node wiring.
Yes. Bring your PNG or JPEG backgrounds, characters and expressions. Add your own audio and video, too. Accepted artwork stays in your project and travels with your exported game.
No. You can create with your own words and artwork. The optional assistant is an alpha pilot: you review its proposals, decide what enters your project and can undo accepted changes.
Exported standalone games play independently of your Zik subscription and AI services. Your players don’t need a Zik account. Keep the portable source project to continue editing your work.
Studio is for desktop computers, with browser authoring in private alpha and a downloadable desktop app in development. Web games target phones, tablets and desktops. Native games for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS are in development; full platform verification is still underway.
