The Spiral is a narrative game I started in January 2026. You play it by texting with a character. The story branches along paths I wrote by hand, and a language model running on the device shades the character’s emotional tone inside those paths. A safety filter and fixed fallback replies keep the character on script when the model can’t be trusted. It is built in C# on .NET MAUI.
It stayed a prototype. The last work on it was pushed on the evening of 27 March 2026, and 27 minutes later I made the first commit of Purfle. The repository is private.
