Narratyr
What it is
Narratyr is a visual authoring tool for building branching dialogue, quests, and game narratives on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Its node-based editor lets creators connect conversation elements and add conditions; quest tools support branching storylines and complex logic, with a step-by-step debugger for dialogue and quests. The project lists exporters and runtime libraries for Unreal Engine, Unity, and Godot, and says its documented format can also be integrated into a custom engine. The Unreal option is a UE5 plugin with Blueprint and C++ APIs; Unity uses a UPM package and C# runtime; the Godot 4 addon includes GDScript runtime and bindings. Projects use an open, human-readable text format intended for version control systems such as Git and Perforce. Built-in AI chat can draft, rewrite, or design dialogue and quests; it can be disabled, prompts and conversations stay local, and MCP-compatible models can be connected. The Free plan costs nothing and includes all engine exporters, with a 500-node limit. Paid options are $10 a month or $$150 once. The documentation describes the software as still in development.

The verdict
Narratyr offers a visual workflow for branching narratives and integrations across three named game engines. The free option includes those exporters but limits projects to 500 nodes; documentation says development is ongoing.
Who it suits
Narratyr suits game writers and developers creating branching dialogue or quest logic for Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, or a custom engine. Its free plan may fit projects that stay within 500 nodes.
