After Consilium, I wanted to build something entirely different. Smaller. Weirder.

The idea came from a single Asterix sceneโ€”Asterix and Obelix trying to obtain Permit A38, only to discover you need Permit A38 to apply for Permit A38. That's the whole game.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—œ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐˜: A bureaucratic text adventure powered by one fine-tuned 1.7B model playing five different charactersโ€”each with their own system prompt, their own rules, and their own way of sending you in circles.

โœ… Clerk Vitalstatistixโ€”requires Form 27b/6. Has never issued a permit in 23 years.ย 

โœ… Supervisor Caligula Minusโ€”perpetually at lunch. Invented A38 in 1987, forgot why.ย 

โœ… SYSTEMA v2.3โ€”last updated 1994. Every response starts with an error code.ย 

โœ… Form 27b/6โ€”sent. Not happy about it. Page 3 is always missing.ย 

โœ… Ombudsman Panoramixโ€”investigates complaints about the process. It is also the process.

- Fine-tuned SmolLM2-1.7B on ~1000 synthetic NPC examples generated with Claude.
- Converted to GGUF Q4_K_M for fast CPU inference
- Streaming responses so you feel the bureaucracy arriving in real time
- Custom beige government office UI
