One Word Odyssey

One Word Odyssey is a Discord bot where players build a story together by adding a small number of words on their turn. You start a lobby, choose language, genre and word limit, and then each player adds 1, 3 or 5 words depending on the selected game mode.

The bot handles turn order, timers, word validation and ending the story when the limit is reached.
