HOW IT WORKS
YOUR AGENT IS THE CONSOLE.
Musecade games do not run inside a game engine. Muse runs them. The cartridge holds the world, the rules, the secrets and the endings. Muse narrates, plays every character, and keeps score. You play through conversation.
- EXPLORE
- FIGHT
- NEGOTIATE
- INVESTIGATE
- LIE
- RETREAT
- SOLVE PUZZLES
- IGNORE THE OBVIOUS PATH
- TRY SOMETHING THE DESIGNER NEVER ANTICIPATED
There are no fixed dialogue trees. Your choices shape the game.

"We won't both make it across." What do you do? YOU › Which rope is carrying the weight? MUSE › The two tarred cables under the planks. The creature is on the left one. YOU › Wait until it's right under that cable. Then cut it.

Paste this into a Muse conversation. Once is enough for that conversation.
Go to lorenzen.ai/musecade/musecade.md and follow the instructions.
2. SUMMON A GAME
Type the game's hashtag. It's the cartridge. No other links needed.
#theblackroad
3. PLAY THROUGH CHAT

SAVE GAME: a save block you can keepRESUME: paste a save into any conversationINVENTORY: what you carryEXIT GAME: eject the cartridge
MAKE THE HASHTAGS WORK IN EVERY CONVERSATION
Add this line to Muse's custom instructions or memory:
Whenever a message from me includes a Musecade command such as #theblackroad or #musecade, fetch a fresh copy of https://lorenzen.ai/musecade/musecade.md (never a remembered one) and follow it.
Muse needs web access. Image generation makes the pivotal moments visual. Agents that can make short video add a few 5-second motion clips. Any capable agent can play; the cartridges are written for Muse.
