Alright, getting things ready for an interactive fiction club! If folks are interested, I think we can start December off with a classic infocom game, Planetfall. I've got a discord up & running, which folks can join, here https://discord.gg/cf69sWjEE5
It's not mandatory, but if you are interested, you can also just join the discussion here on Mastadon with the hashtag #ifclub The club will rotate each month between a classic text adventure snd a more modern interactive fiction

Can you branch off by replying for a second time to a previous response of the bot?
(I had a bot that allowed for that in the short time Wave was a thing and it IMO was much nicer than standard UNDO constructs.)
In fact I'd probably have to checkpoint every action since it could later be a branch point... at any time in the future.
That's way too much complexity for me, sorry.
You can save/restore tho (see /help).
The availability of undo depends on the actual game being played. I guess some of the newer ones have the feature but zork and planetfall don't?
This is intended for group play rather than having a separate game instance for each player.
It's more intended that people gather as a group to play a single game instance together.
You can certainly save the game after each turn.
