# Aliveville — complete public product brief

Aliveville is a 3D AI world simulator. It is a paused experiment: the hosted game is offline (shut down 2026-09-26) and there is no public play link. It was built to run in the browser and can be run locally from source. It is built by Sarthak Agrawal and published as part of the SaaS Maker software studio.

## Product thesis

Aliveville explores what makes a simulated town feel alive. Its characters are autonomous agents with routines, memories, relationships, dialogue, rumors, and reactions to player actions. The experience combines those systems with quests, combat, world events, and a director system that applies story pressure.

Aliveville is a game simulation, not a general-purpose chatbot or a claim that language models independently control the simulation. Model responses are parsed as structured actions and validated by the game engine before they can affect world state.

## What the experiment contains
