The full story
Perfumed Palaces is a "found" cosmic-horror roguelike set in the backrooms, with deliberately malicious RPG mechanics: you roll a nine-digit random number to earn money to move and interact. It was written as a single HTML file by Claude Code on a phone, reworked into a codebase on desktop with Codex, and wrapped in Electron, all in under 30 days.
