Ever wonder what it's like to...

Let's find out, with MUSE.

Gothic Grandma. Studios

Applied science and engineering for everyone

Studios is where the science meets the world. Laboratories builds the simulation platform. Studios turns it into things people can use -- interactive experiences, creator tools, and the products that bring living worlds to everyone.

That starts with finding the right people to tell the right stories. The technology only matters if it's in the hands of creators who have something real to say -- and the tools to say it well.

GRIM

🎨

Demo coming soon

The content creation workbench where designers build entities, templates, and living world data. If FONT is the engine, GRIM is the workshop where you craft everything that goes into it -- characters, environments, items, relationships. Visual, intuitive, and designed so creators can focus on storytelling, not code.

CALLIOPE -- Your Living Worlds Library

Your Living Worlds library. Discover new experiences, track your progress across multiple stories, and access your entire collection from one elegant interface.

Gothic Grandma is built on the principle that technology should empower human creativity, not replace it.

This Calliope demonstration shows the early alpha application--the interface and functionality are real, but the book covers and titles shown are fictitious, created for visualization purposes only. The covers were generated using AI. These do not represent actual products.

When we launch, every MUSE Living World will feature:

  • Human authors telling authentic stories
  • Professional artists creating original cover art
  • Fair compensation and full attribution
  • Cultural consultants ensuring respectful representation

Our commitment is to human artistry.

MUSE Mediums

Living Worlds is our first MUSE Medium -- the first product line built on the MUSE platform. But the same simulation engine that powers interactive fiction can power educational tools, therapeutic applications, research instruments, and experiences we haven't imagined yet.

Each product line is a MUSE Medium. Same science underneath, different ways of putting it to work in the world.

Powered by Laboratories

Every experience you have in a MUSE Medium is running on science built by Laboratories. The simulation engine, the language layer, the analytics tools -- all of it flows from research into product. And what we learn from products flows back into research.

Studios doesn't exist without Laboratories, and Laboratories doesn't find its purpose without Studios. Two sides of the same work.

Our Creator Partnership Model

We will partner with Creative Directors -- cultural storytellers, genre masters, community organizers, and lived experience experts -- who will guide the creation of Living Worlds. These won't be consultants we pay once and forget. They'll be collaborators.

Authentic voices lead authentic stories.

Whether you're preserving folk tales from your heritage, exploring disability through lived experience, or mastering a narrative genre -- if you have a story that deepens empathy and understanding, we want to help you tell it. Gothic Grandma serves as curator and enabler, ensuring quality and scientific grounding, but the creative vision belongs to you.

What Creators Get

MUSE Living Worlds won't just be our stories -- they'll be a platform for diverse creators to share theirs. Authentic representation comes from communities telling their own narratives, not corporations interpreting experiences from the outside.

Lead Creative Vision

Creative Directors will shape the narrative, characters, and cultural context of their Living Worlds. Gothic Grandma provides the technology; creators provide the authenticity.

Receive Fair Compensation

Upfront payment for development work, plus ongoing royalties from every sale. When your story succeeds, you succeed.

Get Prominent Attribution

Your name, your story, your community -- prominently celebrated, not hidden in credits.

Who We're Looking For

We seek creators who bring authentic perspectives and compelling stories that deepen understanding across human experiences.

Cultural Storytellers

Preserving and sharing narratives from your heritage and community

Lived Experience Experts

Bringing authenticity to stories about disability, chronic illness, or marginalized perspectives

Genre Masters

Writers and designers who excel at fantasy, mystery, historical fiction, or other narrative forms

Community Organizers

Leaders who can bridge between their communities and our platform
