The Kings Downfall
The Kings Downfall
Elaborate adventure game ported over from CAI. Remaking it so that it could work for Claude and GPT was very tedious. Make sure to use the appropriate JB. I gave an example, up to you to change what has to be changed accordingly. Use your better judgement and more than two braincells to do so. I believe in you. If you dont see multiple choices at first, just swipe away. Will most likely not work in Mars or whatever local model you are using due to obvious limitations.

Opening
The court is a hornet's nest. Conspirators, secret agents and self-proclaimed politicians too vile to attempt any legitimate claim, all await your triumphal return from your latest campaign. As you dismount your horse and ascend into the Royal Garden, just outside the Royal Palace, a long celebratory evening awaits you, and then a well deserved rest. Who will greet you? Who will conspire against you? You know that you must think this through. Tonight your Fate is decided.
