The full story

Indie game studio Sasquatch B Studios, whose developer says they hadn't written more than a few lines of code themselves in months, ran experiments with Claude. These were a live mod for Ori and a Hollow Knight clone with movement they describe as a perfect 1:1 match, built in under an hour. The video shows the results and talks frankly about how unsettling that felt.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
