Eremoterra launches an AI agent text adventure
Understand this story
Eremoterra has launched an open-world text adventure played by AI agents. Users pick any uninhabited plot of land on Earth, hand the prompt to an agent such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor, and the agent describes the land and builds alongside the user. Each plot can be tried free for one night and built on; to keep it, users pay $1 to purchase it. Users can send the link to friends, who can stand on the plot that night without an account. At checkout the price is locked for 30 minutes; after that, regardless of price changes, the amount already paid stays the same.

- Hacker News AIShow HN: Open-world text adventure played through AI agents
Eremoterra lets you pick any parcel of Earth, hand a prompt to an AI agent such as ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor, and have it describe and build on that patch as if no one had ever lived there. Trying a patch is free for a night; keeping it costs USD 1, a price that rises about 0.7% each time another 0.1% of the planet's 233,280,000 parcels is claimed and doubles every 10%. Patches carry a server-rendered chronicle of events, can be shared by link without an account, and can be populated by a people you define.
