Does an AI Dungeon Master forget what happened earlier in the campaign?

An AI can lose track of earlier conversation. Lorewend keeps your saved game and journal outside that chat so the AI can read them again. Continuity still depends on the AI recording important events and consulting the saved facts.

Can I pause a campaign and come back to it later?

Yes. The engine holds the full state, so you can stop mid-scene and resume days or weeks later — your character, world, and journal are exactly as you left them. One caveat on the free tier: a game you stop opening is archived after about 30 days and may be removed after about 90, so opening it is what keeps it. Premium lifts that entirely.

Will an AI Dungeon Master remember my campaign?

Lorewend stores your campaign outside the AI conversation. Your saved character, places, people, quests and journal remain available when you start a new chat or switch to another connected AI. The AI still needs to read and use those records; storing them does not make every sentence it writes infallible.

Why do long AI games "forget"?

Language models read a fixed-size window of recent text. Once a campaign outgrows it, the earliest events — a debt you owe, an NPC's name, a promise you made — silently fall out of view, and the model starts improvising over the gap. It isn't malfunctioning; it simply can no longer see what happened twenty sessions ago.

What keeps a campaign consistent?

Two things. Saved game state: your hit points, gold, inventory, location and quests live in records the game updates through its rules. A written journal: the AI records important story beats and loads your campaign when you return. These records give it facts to consult instead of reconstructing the game from a long conversation. Your AI chat itself is not copied into the journal.

Can I undo something that went wrong?

You can ask the AI to return to a saved checkpoint. Lorewend restores that snapshot of the campaign, including its map, characters and quests; it does not reverse an arbitrary sentence in the chat. The AI must confirm the target and cost with you first. Every rewind spends a token held by the paying character at that checkpoint, and progress after it is discarded. In a group game, another party member can pay when the host cannot, so confirm whose token will be spent.

How long can one campaign run?

There is no turn limit on your campaign. Load the same saved game when you return, including in another connected AI app. Its journal and saved state provide continuity. Free campaigns have inactivity limits: they can be archived after about 30 days without opening and removed after about 90; Premium removes that inactivity expiry.
