How to Access the Game Book

Why is the Game Book Useful?

  • Stay Informed: Keep track of complex storylines and relationships without having to remember everything

  • Strategic Planning: Review your objectives and resources before making important decisions

  • World Building: Watch as your understanding of the world grows with each discovery

  • Reference Guide: Quickly check character names, faction relationships, or inventory items

  • Progress Tracking: See how your choices have shaped your journey and what goals remain

Live Updates

The Game Book updates automatically as your story progresses. New locations appear when discovered, character relationships change based on your interactions, and objectives update as you complete or receive new missions. It's always current with your latest story developments.

Game Session Management

From the Game Book, you can also access game settings like voting configuration (for group games) and player management (for private games with friends), making it your central hub for both story information and game administration.

The Game Book essentially serves as your adventure's "character sheet" and world encyclopedia, ensuring you never lose track of the rich, evolving narrative that AIGA creates around your choices.
