AI Generates
Rooms, monsters, items, NPCs, quests, abilities, dialogue. All invented in real-time by a local language model running on your hardware.
You Explore
Type anything. The AI describes the moment. The engine resolves the outcome. If the damage kills it, it's dead.

Games save to ~/.mythcrawl/saves/ as JSON — the complete world state, every room, item, NPC, quest, and ability the AI has generated. Loading restores the world exactly as it was.
