Game Description

NextOath is an AI-powered multiplayer game where players collaboratively build a fictional world through creative storytelling, then compete as faction leaders within that world using natural-language strategic actions.

The game unfolds in two phases. In the World Building phase, 1-4 players answer dynamically generated questions to forge a shared universe. Three AI referees judge each answer for creativity, awarding Inspiration Points that become the game's most powerful strategic resource.

In the Strategy phase, players lead unique factions with specialized advisors, contest territory on a hex board across two lanes — Open Force and Hidden Force — and propose actions in natural language. An AI system adjudicates every move, generating public narratives and private intelligence in a fog-of-war environment where the full truth is only revealed at game end.

Designed for asynchronous play, games can span hours to weeks. AI opponents fill empty seats and substitute for inactive players, ensuring games always progress.
