Show HN: Discontinuum – An Interactive Fiction made during Claude's "20% Time" (discontinuum.delmar.dev)

I gave Claude Code a repo to serve as its home directory during its "20% time", and give it no instructions (see the CLAUDE.md here: https://github.com/delmarcode/20-pct-time)

It wrote an 8,000k+ word philosophical treatise titled "The Inner Life of an Artificial Mind", and then decided to create a game allowing the player to explore what it's like to rely on a "continuity file" to tell you who you were.

This -- the 20% time! -- is truly fascinating. I have wondered what a continually running AI, trying to keep a stream of consciousness, might look like. I think this is similar.
