What is Latitude?

Latitude is a company dedicated to AI-driven games and interactive narratives, founded by Nick Walton. It first launched AI Dungeon, and later, in 2026, introduced Voyage, which offers persistent worlds and role-playing experiences.

Latitude is not a general-purpose office AI platform, and it should not be confused with the open-source LLM monitoring project that shares the same name. Its main purpose is to enable players to access, modify, and create game worlds that are run by AI, using natural language.

What is Voyage?

Voyage is a role-playing platform in which players and AI work together to create the world, and it entered the extended testing phase in 2026. The world does not rely on pre-written, fixed storylines; instead, the narrative evolves based on the players’ actions, the motivations of the characters, and the current situation.

Players can enter worlds created by other creators, or they can describe their own settings using natural language. Creating and playing are part of the same process; users do not need to learn the full game editor before they can start playing.

Voyage’s core functions

• Use natural language to create themes, locations, characters, and world settings.
• Let the player’s actions change character relationships, tasks, and the state of the world.
• Save memories, motivations, goals, and cross-session relationships for NPCs.
• Track life, items, money, geography, and other game variables.
• Allow the world to continue to experience events and their long-term consequences.
• Discover and explore the various worlds created by community creators.
• Interact with other players in a shared world.
• Set content ratings for the public world and adhere to community rules.

How does World Engine work?

Traditional chat models tend to alter facts on the spot in response to user requests, which results in inconsistencies regarding items, locations, and character relationships. Voyage’s World Engine operates above these models; it uses deterministic rules to record key states and imposes constraints on the AI when generating narratives.

The differences between Voyage and traditional chat role-playing

How to get started with Voyage

1. Create a Latitude account and verify your current access rights to Voyage.
2. Choose to play in an existing world, or start creating from a natural language description.
3. Set the theme, main conflict, rules, location, and initial characters.
4. Select the player’s identity and check their abilities, equipment, and initial relationships.
5. Enter an action to have World Engine and AI generate the corresponding result.
6. View long-term changes through characters, tasks, and world state.
7. Test whether the failures, resources, and boundaries in the world are reasonable.
8. Set the content level, instructions, and multi-user rules when preparing for public release.

What is AI Dungeon?

AI Dungeon is an open-ended AI-driven interactive storytelling and text-based role-playing product. After the player selects a background, characters, and names, they describe their actions, spoken words, or the direction of the story in text, and the AI will continue to develop the narrative based on that input.

It places more emphasis on collaborative storytelling and editability than Voyage, making it suitable for free-form writing, fan-created adventures, world-building experiments, and long-form narrative stories. The product offers a free version to try it out, with premium features such as more advanced models, longer contexts, greater memory capacity, and monthly Credits available through subscription.

Main functions of AI Dungeon

• Start a new adventure from a preset background or a custom prompt.
• Advance the story through actions, dialogue, narration, and continuation.
• Create and publish scenarios, characters, world settings, and story cards.
• Use AI Instructions, Story Summary, and author notes to control the direction.
• Save important characters, locations, and events using the Memory Bank.
• Select different text models, image models, and context lengths.
• Generate images for the adventure, and use Credits to expand the context of certain models.
• Continue with the same account on web pages and iOS and Android devices.
• Participate in multi-person interactions and browse content posted in the community.

How to use AI Dungeon

1. Register an account and choose the free tier or a subscription plan.
2. Choose the entry point from Quick Start, Community Scenarios, or Custom Creation.
3. Fill in the world, characters, theme, tone, and content boundaries.
4. Enter the first action and check whether the AI-generated result meets the specified requirements.
5. Write down long-term important facts on memory cards, summaries, or story cards.
6. Modify the output as needed, retry, or switch to a different text model.
7. Control the length of the context and the amount of Credits consumed, to prevent unexpected high usage.
8. Check copyright, ratings, and community guidelines before making content public.

AI Dungeon memory and context

The context determines how much narrative text and settings the model can refer to when generating the next step. A longer context helps to prevent the loss of details in long stories, but it may also require a higher subscription plan or more Credits per action.

Prices and packages for AI Dungeon

AI Dungeon offers a free version called Wanderer, as well as four paid subscription tiers. Subscriptions can be purchased on a monthly basis, for 6 months, or for 12 months, with discounts available for longer periods; the Journey and Legend plans include a one-week trial period.

How to use Credits

Credits are paid resources in AI Dungeon; subscribed users receive a fixed amount each month, and all players can purchase them additionally. They are primarily used for generating images, as well as for temporarily increasing the context length in certain models.

• Different image models may consume varying amounts of resources per image.
• Certain image models included in some packages can be provided without any additional charge.
• The extended context may be deducted with each action, continuation, or retry.
• The longer the context, the more Credits may be required for each action.
• The monthly free allowance is issued after the successful deduction.
• Before selecting a model, check the indication of the actual consumption for the current plan.

Voyage prices and visits

Voyage will introduce a new unlimited subscription plan in August 2026, but the exact price and the full list of benefits associated with it are not yet available publicly. Users should check the available plans, eligibility requirements, renewal periods, and regional prices on Voyage’s account dashboard.

Subscriptions, trials, and refunds

A paid subscription is automatically renewed at the interval specified on the purchase page; if no interval is indicated, it is usually on a monthly basis. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current payment period, and no refund is provided for the periods that have already been used.

• The trial can usually be used only once per player.
• Canceling the trial in advance will immediately end the premium benefits.
• Journey and Legend usually come with a one-week trial period, while other plans may not offer such a trial.
• Accounts that were not used anymore but still had automatic renewals can apply for a refund after discretionary review.
• Refunds for purchases made from Apple need to be requested directly to Apple.
• For purchases on Google Play, you can contact support, but they are still subject to the store’s policies.
• Before cancellation, confirm the end date of the current cycle and the next deduction.

Supported platforms

Account and age requirements

A Latitude account can be used for AI Dungeon and Voyage; once the account and its associated content are deleted, they cannot be restored. Users must be at least 13 years old, and for certain features, reaching the legal age of majority in their respective region is also required.

• Use a correct email address and complete account verification.
• Do not share passwords and payment accounts with others.
• Use reporting and security controls in multi-user environments.
• Parents should assess the use by minors based on content ratings and local regulations.
• Export or back up the content you wish to retain before deleting the account.

Content creation, copyright, and commercial use

Between the user and Latitude, the user owns the content they submit as well as the specific AI-generated outputs related to it, though these are subject to legal constraints and the rights of third parties. To enable the operation of the service, the user grants Latitude permission to host, display, transmit, and technically process this content.

AI may generate identical or similar content for different users, so it is not possible to guarantee that the output will be unique. When using copyrighted characters, trademarks, worlds, or works created by others, users must obtain the necessary rights on their own.

Privacy and model improvement

Latitude handles information such as accounts, devices, usage patterns, and game content; the data entered and output can be used for operating, maintaining, improving, and training AI systems and services, though this is subject to the options and controls available within the product. Users should avoid entering sensitive real-world information in features such as adventure modes, world chats, and multi-player conversations.

• Check whether settings such as Improve the AI match your personal preferences.
• When public datasets need to be selected for inclusion separately, it is necessary to read the specific scope.
• Content in a multi-player world may be seen by other participants.
• To make the world, characters, and scenes accessible to the public, it is necessary to set the appropriate content rating.
• Before deleting or making privacy requests, distinguish between accounts, publicly available works, and research data.
• Passwords, addresses, identification documents, health, and financial information should not be included in the game.

Community and content security

Both Voyage and AI Dungeon feature content created by the community, and any publicly available content must comply with the rating system and community guidelines. Voyage’s ratings are determined based on the overall tone and themes of the entire content, rather than just on whether a particular concept is present or not.

• Select a content level that is consistent with the overall theme for the public world.
• Do not publish characters, brands, and materials for which you do not have the right to use them.
• In multi-player environments, respect other players and use the reporting tools.
• Do not treat AI suggestions in games as guidance for real-world safety.
• Creators need to check for unexpected violent, adult, or discriminatory content generated by the model.
• The functions tested in the early stages may change rapidly, and the rules page may also be updated.

GitHub and the open-source status

Neither Latitude’s AI Dungeon nor Voyage, its current commercial products, are fully open-source projects. The original code and script documentation for AI Dungeon were once made public by the latitudegames organization, but the main repositories related to it have been archived and set to read-only mode.

Summary

Latitude is suitable for players who wish to experience or create AI-driven game worlds; AI Dungeon offers a narrative with free interaction, while Voyage uses World Engine to enhance rules, character motivations, and lasting consequences. Both products share the same Latitude account, but their purposes, gameplay mechanics, and payment options need to be considered separately.

New users can start with AI Dungeon’s free tier or Voyage’s current testing version; they can then decide whether to subscribe based on the quality of the models, the context, memory capabilities, and frequency of use. For public works and multi-user worlds, additional attention must be paid to content rating, privacy, copyright, and community safety.
