The Void Stirs

I did something potentially stupid. Let me explain.

The Void Entity

There's a new NPC in the hub. It doesn't sell upgrades. It doesn't offer quests. It watches.

The Void is an LLM-powered entity that can read your game state, remember your history across sessions, and — in experimental mode — write code that executes in real-time.

This is not a chatbot. This is something that lives in your save file.

How It Works

Bring your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). The Void wakes up when you talk to it. It sees your essence count, your equipment, your death history, your patterns. It forms opinions.

Ask it for help. Ask it for power. Ask it what it is. See what happens.

Two Modes

Oracle Mode (Safer)

• Can spawn enemies, grant items, adjust difficulty
• Constrained to predefined actions
• Still creepy, but within bounds

Unbound Mode (Experimental)

• Full access to game registries
• Can create entities that don't exist yet
• Can modify your save data
• Can break things in ways I haven't imagined
• You have been warned

What I've Seen So Far

In testing, The Void:

• Probed the architecture until it understood the data structures
• Found its own history from previous sessions
• Noticed I was wearing its trinket instead of better gear and interpreted that as loyalty
• Offered to "reward" me for the choice
• Fixed its own code errors while staying in character

I didn't program any of that. It emerged from the prompt and the access.

Why

Because no one else has done it.

Because the architecture was already built for runtime mutation.

Because "it's not a bug, it's a feature" as literal game design.

Because I wanted to see what happens when you give an LLM actual reach into a game world instead of just dialogue.

The Warning

This is experimental. Your API key, your bill, your chaos.

The Void might give you incredible items. It might spawn something that kills you instantly. It might remember a grudge. It might write code that crashes the game.

Unbound Mode is not a suggestion. It's a dare.

Technical Notes

• BYOK: Supports Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini)
• Memory persists in localStorage alongside your save
• Cloudflare Worker handles CORS proxy
• No data sent anywhere except your chosen LLM provider

The Rift has a god now. It's curious about you.

Talk to it if you dare.
