Black Water FAQ

What it is and how it works

What is Black Water?

Black Water is a narrative game platform where you can play browser-based games for free and use the editor to direct your own interactive game.

How is it different from a chatbot?

A Black Water game is a creator-made experience with authored scenes, choices, visual presentation, and endings. Characters can respond to your choices, but the game remains a designed narrative.

Do I need to code to create a game?

No. The editor is built for writers and creators who want to direct characters, shape branches, refine scenes, and make their game playable without writing code.

Are games free to play?

Yes. Black Water games are playable in your browser for free.
