About NextOath
We believe the best stories are the ones you create together.
Our Vision
NextOath was born from a simple question: what happens when you combine collaborative storytelling with competitive strategy, and let AI handle the narrative complexity?
Inspired by tabletop games like The Quiet Year and Microscope, we set out to build a game where every session creates a unique world with its own history, factions, and conflicts. A game where creativity is rewarded, strategy matters, and the AI serves as both referee and narrator.
The result is a two-phase experience: first, players collaboratively build a fictional world through creative question-and-answer rounds. Then, they compete as faction leaders within that world, using natural language to propose strategic actions that the AI adjudicates and weaves into an evolving narrative.
Built With
AI-Powered Narrative
Large language models serve as referees, narrators, and world-builders, creating dynamic content that responds to player creativity.
Real-Time Serverless Backend
Built on Convex for instant reactive updates. Every player sees the world evolve in real time.
Reversi-Like Hex Board
A two-lane hex board with terrain themed to each world creates spatially rich, emergent strategy.
Async-First Design
Designed from the ground up for asynchronous play. Games work around your schedule, not the other way around.
The Team
NextOath is built by a small team who believe in the intersection of human creativity and machine intelligence. We're passionate about creating tools that amplify imagination rather than replace it.
NextOath is a studio project of Alternate Thread. Reach us at nextoath@alternatethread.com.
