A character-chat platform for role-play and storytelling that reached more than a million users on a free tier, with no funding and no revenue at any point. Character chat is among the most expensive things to serve per user, and the developers shut it down at the end of 2024 rather than charge for it. Demand was never the problem; the bill was.

Collateral damage: Custom characters, multiplayer rooms and the community library went offline with no export.
