MC Frontalot - It Is Pitch Dark

I take it you never played The Sims? The simulation madness ship sailed 26 years ago, if not in 1986 with SimCity! ;) Palm is a fictional character in a text adventure — same tradition as Zork, LambdaMOO, and every MUD since 1978. The emojis are deliberate (navigation aids for LLMs, actually, and ethical simulated person flagging). The whimsy is intentional. I've been building simulated characters, world and city building tools since before The Sims shipped. This is just the next iteration. You may recognize tributes to many classic simulated characters in MOOLLM.

In MOOLLM Adventures, you can have NPC characters with entire game mechanics, rules, and playing piece prototypes embedded in them, that can run cooperatively in parallel in the same game!
