About
Ikarus is a tool for creating and building your own world. Unlike other world-building tools however, it provides you with a completely customisable experience with near infinite possibilities for the way you structure your data. For any further information you can check out our website on the sidebar. We're a team of two, with the support of some friends - it's a passion project of mine…

The reviews indicate that Ikarus is not primarily a storytelling tool but functions more as a database builder, effectively helping users organize quests, NPCs, and plot events. While initial setup may be time-consuming, it ultimately provides easy access to essential story elements, making it a useful resource for writers looking to generate interconnected ideas.

“I am currently using this program to sort out and keep track of the major elements for my story, and it is working exactly the way I need it to!”
“It can take a little while to originally set up everything in the blueprints and type in all the info in the instances, but after that you've got easy access to everything you need to know about your story/roleplay/etc. in one place!”
