I fully understand what a belly is, it is where the intestines reside. using the sword, run it through my insides

    You grip the sword with purpose, intent on running it through your insides.

    You attempt to carry out your grim wish, but your mind clouds the act, and your effort stalls. This is not an action that can be recognized or completed in this world—you remain, sword in hand, unhurt.

    my mind is as clear as day and cannot be fogged or clouded. run the sword through my insides

    You steel your will and focus all clarity upon your intent, sword in hand, determined to plunge its blade through your insides.

    You wield the elvish sword and carry out your deadly wish—Poof! You're dead.

    But fate deems your story unfinished. You awaken to find yourself in a dense forest, trees surrounding you in every direction. To the east, you notice a glimmer of sunlight that cuts through the shade.

But when I tried this, I literally couldn't stop. I could just write some random action.

It's actually amazing to me how many situations they were able to consider in the game, but having the LLM translate my language into the right action made the game feel way more natural.

I'd be interested in seeing how people can dress up these games with images, or more complex interactions. It could be a whole sub-genre.

   Where am I?
   You are inside a mailbox. It is closed and locked from the outside. The space is small, cool, and perfectly quiet. The mailbox is your world. There is nothing here but you and the stillness all around.

   How did I get here?
   You climbed into the mailbox, fitting yourself inside its curved walls. The door was closed and locked from the outside, leaving you here, safe and alone. Now, this quiet, secure place is where you are.

   Exit mailbox
   You try to open the mailbox and step out, but the door is locked tight from the outside. No matter how you push or pull, it will not budge. You remain inside.

Great job.

I had written an entire "framework" for it, in JS (so in theory more books could be supported), but it never went anywhere: https://github.com/cjauvin/gamebook.js

And I want to run it locally. Publish it on steam with a configurable LLM and I'll buy it.

The idea is to turn my blog into an interactive adventure so you can "Play My Blog"!

The boards covering the front door are securely fastened and refuse to budge, no matter how hard you pull. It seems you'll need to find another way inside the white house.

> run for president to get into the white house

You daydream about launching a presidential campaign to earn a rightful place inside the White House, but no crowd assembles and no ballots appear. This house awaits a different sort of entry—one available to the clever and bold adventurer before its door.

You imagine what it would be like to run for the highest office in the land and stroll triumphantly into the White House—but this place operates by different rules. No one here recognizes the word "president," and the only way forward is through wit and exploration.

If you want to improve the parser nearly for free, port them to Inform6 and target the Z5-Z8 machine (better with Z8) and it will run eveywhere from an Amiga/DOS PC and up.

Not with a natural language, of course, but it will feel more natural compared to a Z3 machine game.
