Infinite PokémonHow persistent AI worlds remember
Authority, context, NPC memory, and branch-local history.
A Pokémon-style adventure where AI helps write what comes next—and your world remembers.
Explore, battle, and build a team in a world that keeps growing. Start in the browser demo; take your save with you into the full game.
What playing actually looks like
Real gameplay from the current build: overworld exploration, turn-based battles, interiors with their own stories, and a world that stays changed after you leave.
Exploration
Walk between meadows, forest trails, ruins, and a coast. Signs, waystones, and NPCs give each map its own hook.
Battles and catching
Turn-based battles with moves, PP, and type-free matchups. Weaken a wild companion and throw a ball to add it to your party.
Interiors
Pokémon centers, shops, and homes are furnished spaces with NPCs that remember you.
A world that remembers
Events, journals, and NPC memory persist through checkpoints, so the world you return to is the one you left.
The browser demo ships five prepared maps (Willow Valley) with fixed layouts. In the full local game, new regions are generated by AI as you travel—prepared maps are the demo, generation is the full game.
Adventurers around the world
Progress reported by the browser demo and full local game. Rankings favor completed story milestones, then maps and species discovered.

Progress is community-reported and intended for discovery, not competitive verification. Trainer names and summary statistics are public; saves and credentials are never uploaded.

Downloads and skills
Get the full game from GitHub and the four published skills from the skills registry. Direct links only—setup instructions live in the repository docs.
The four skills
Skills are instruction packs the AI harness uses to run and grow the game. All four are published:
- Quick Start — Install and run the game end-to-end.
- Region generation — How new maps, stories, and economies are generated.
- NPC generation — Dialogue, memory, and behavior for the people you meet.
- Interior generation — Furnished interiors and how objects are placed.
Bundled skill downloads are published on the skills-v0.2.0 release tag.
Documentation
- Setup and installation — Run the game locally with Node and connect Codex.
- Game systems — Design notes for battles, economy, tutorial, and continuity.
- Architecture — How the server, engine, client, and harness fit together.
- Technical report — The deeper write-up behind the project.
