CodeKitHubWhat Is This Tool?
This tool pairs a genre-specific adjective word bank (RPG: Forsaken, Eternal, Broken, Ashen; Sci-Fi: Quantum, Derelict, Fractured, Void) with a matching noun word bank (RPG: Realms, Bloodline, Chronicles, Legacy; Sci-Fi: Horizon, Protocol, Colony, Anomaly) to generate video game title suggestions.
Switch between RPG, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, and Puzzle using the genre selector, which draws from a dedicated word bank tuned to sound right for that genre.
Some results are a simple two-word title and others are a two-part subtitle format (like "Voidforge: Ashen Legacy"), giving you a mix of short and elaborate options in each batch.
Why Use It?
- You've got 48 hours left in a game jam and the game itself is basically done, but the itch.io listing still says "untitled-project" — pick the matching genre, generate a batch, and ship with something that at least sounds intentional.
- You're pitching a game concept to a small team or a publisher and need a working title on the pitch deck today, not the final branded name — something evocative enough that people stop calling it "the RPG project" in Slack.
- You're stuck between two directions for your horror game's tone and want to see them named side by side — generate a Horror batch and a Sci-Fi batch to compare which framing actually sounds scarier on the page.
- You're a solo dev who's great at systems and terrible at naming things — you'd rather pick from eight generated options than stare at a blank text field for twenty minutes.
- You're running a tabletop campaign and need a name for the module or one-shot you're writing, not a full commercial video game — the same genre-tuned patterns work for that too.
- You want to keep clicking Generate until something clicks, with no rate limit or paywall stopping you after the first batch — everything runs locally, so there's no server cost keeping you to a handful of tries.
How to Use
- Choose a genre — RPG, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, or Puzzle — from the selector.
- Click "Generate" to produce eight game title suggestions.
- Click "Copy" next to any title you like to copy it to your clipboard.
- Click "Generate" again for a fresh batch of eight if none of them fit yet.

From working title to final title
A generated title is a placeholder that's good enough to build around, not necessarily the name that ends up on the store page. Treat it as a starting point: it should be easy to say out loud, easy to remember after hearing it once, and roughly right for the genre — three things this tool optimizes for automatically.
Before locking in a generated title for a real release, run a quick storefront search on Steam or itch.io and a basic trademark check — the word banks here are generic enough that occasional overlap with an existing game is possible, even though nothing is copied from a specific title. Many studios also A/B test two or three working titles with early playtesters before committing, which is easy to do here since generating a second or third batch costs nothing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these titles copyrighted or taken from an existing game?
No — the titles are randomly generated word combinations, not pulled from any specific copyrighted work. Any resemblance to an existing game's title is coincidental, though it's worth a quick search before finalizing a title for a real release.
Can I use a generated title for my own game?
Yes, the generated titles are free to use in your own project. They aren't checked against existing trademarks or registered game titles, so if you're publishing commercially it's worth a quick trademark and storefront search on any title you land on.
What's the difference between the five genres?
Each genre draws from its own word bank tuned to match its tone — RPG titles sound epic and lore-heavy, Fantasy titles sound lush and mythical, Sci-Fi titles sound technical and cold, Horror titles sound unsettling, and Puzzle titles hint at mechanisms and mystery.
Will I get the same title twice?
Each batch of eight is generated to avoid duplicates within that batch, but different batches can occasionally repeat a title since the word banks are limited in size.
Does this generator save or track the titles I copy?
No. Title generation and copying both happen entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to or stored on a server.
What does the two-part subtitle format mean, like "Voidforge: Ashen Legacy"?
It's a second title pattern mixed into each batch alongside plain two-word titles — the tool pairs a shorter primary title with a genre-appropriate subtitle, mimicking how many published games (especially RPGs and sequels) are titled. If you only want the simple two-word format, just ignore the subtitle-format results in that batch and copy one of the others.
Can I combine words from two different genre batches, like a Sci-Fi adjective with a Horror noun?
Not automatically — each genre pulls exclusively from its own matched word bank so the tone stays consistent. But nothing stops you from generating a Sci-Fi batch and a Horror batch separately, then manually mixing an adjective from one with a noun from the other if you're going for a sci-fi-horror hybrid tone.
My game doesn't fit neatly into RPG, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, or Puzzle — what should I do?
Pick whichever genre is closest to your game's tone rather than its exact mechanics — a cozy farming sim with dark undertones might pull good results from Fantasy, while a strategy game with a bleak setting might work from Horror or Sci-Fi. The word banks are tuned for mood as much as genre, so cross-pollinating is common.
Is this generator specific to video games, or can I use it for board games and card games too?
The word banks were built with video games in mind, but the underlying pattern — genre-tuned adjective plus noun, sometimes with a subtitle — works just as well for board games, card games, or tabletop RPG modules. Nothing about the output ties it to a digital medium.
