Chinese AI Dungeon is an open-source interactive storytelling game published on GitHub that recreates the AI Dungeon experience in Chinese, using OpenAI’s ChatGPT API as the storytelling engine. The project has gathered around 1,400 GitHub stars.
Instead of a fixed script, the game hands narration to a large language model: you describe what your character does, and ChatGPT continues the story, invents characters and reacts to unexpected choices. The repository wires the ChatGPT API into a playable text-adventure loop with a Chinese-language interface, so players can run open-ended fantasy, wuxia or modern scenarios without any prewritten plot. Because the model improvises everything, no two sessions play out the same way, and the game doubles as an early demonstration of how LLM APIs can power interactive fiction. The code was last updated in 2023, during the first wave of ChatGPT-powered experiments, and it remains a compact, readable example of prompt-driven game design that you can fork and adapt to your own settings, genres and system prompts.
Chinese AI Dungeon is free and open source. You only pay for your own OpenAI API usage while playing.
Interactive-fiction fans, Chinese-speaking players curious about AI storytelling, and developers looking for a minimal example of an LLM-driven text game.
