Overview

ESC RLLM (Probably pronounced “Escape Room” with some trilling of the tongue?) is a text-based adventure game with a large-language model as the game engine.

There are six starter scenarios from a crashed spaceship, to a prison room in Alcatraz, to a high-stakes corporate party. In each, you are given goals (such as escaping or surviving). How will the game unfold? Only you and the LLM powering the game will determine. You type actions into a text field. The LLM determines how those affected the world around you, your health, and your inventory.

The game is inspired by the text-based adventure games of the 1980s and 1990s, such as Zork, Myst, King’s Quest, Goblin’s Quest, and others. All of these such games were deterministically programmed. Unlike these games, we have no idea what the game will be like until you play it.
