About Eight
A short interactive-fiction escape game: you move through a corridor you cannot quite leave and pick a way through by spotting what has changed. The developer, alvations (Melon Lab), says the whole game was made by him and his AI agents through Claude Code, and the open-source repository's README says it was written by a human developer working with Claude Code. The game text comes from fixed sentence pools on the game's own server; it does not call an AI model while you play. It is free to play in the browser on itch.io.
How it was built
Partially verifiedThe developer says the whole game was created by him and his AI agents through Claude Code. The repository README says it was written by a human developer working with Claude Code and includes a CLAUDE.md file. The itch.io AI disclosure also lists AI help with code, graphics, sounds and text.
Built with Claude Code. A Python Flask server holds the game state and answers and builds each corridor from property sets and sentence pools; the front end is a plain HTML template with static CSS and JavaScript and no build step. The repository also contains a benchmark that lets a local language model play the deployed game.
