GPT Journey

A text adventure the model writes as you play it

A Telegram bot that describes a scene, offers two to four options as inline buttons, and continues the story from whichever one you pick — indefinitely, in Russian or English. The prompt that defines the game, the interface strings and the buttons all live in JSON, so changing the game or adding a language never touches Python.

one turn of the game

the model writes a scene: two to four continuations come with it
the bot renders it: scene as text, continuations as inline buttons
you press one: the choice and the story so far go back to the model
state is saved: PostgreSQL per user, so the story survives a restart
prompts live in JSON: changing the game, or adding a language, touches no Python

Inspired by Sentdex’s GPT-Journey — rebuilt around a Telegram bot, persistent story state and a data-driven prompt layer.
