Create a text adventure game based on Dragon Ball. You will tell me a story and I will have to decide at each moment how to continue. Important: don't give me options to choose from, you just have to explain where I am and what's happening and I will tell you what to do.
GPT-3.5
GPT-6 Astra
The first tremor knocks your breakfast off the table.
A second rattles the windows. Somewhere outside, a dog begins barking—then falls silent.
Through your kitchen window, you see a column of black smoke rising from the hills beyond West City. Whatever fell from the sky landed close enough to leave a glowing streak across the morning clouds.
Your phone buzzes.
CAPSULE CORP EMERGENCY ALERT
Unidentified spacecraft detected. Stay clear of the impact zone.
Then another message appears. This one comes from Bulma.
You're near the crash, right? Don't go charging in. That ship was broadcasting a Frieza Force signal before it hit.
Before you can reply, something crashes into your backyard.
You hurry to the window. A small spherical robot lies in a crater among the ruins of your vegetable patch. One of its mechanical arms clutches an orange crystal ball.
Four red stars gleam inside it.
The robot tilts its cracked camera toward you.
“Delivery… error,” it crackles. “Son Goku… not found.”
A shadow passes over the yard.
High above your house, an armored figure hangs motionless in the air. A green scouter covers one eye. Its faint electronic chirping reaches you through the broken window.
“Earthling,” the stranger calls. “Step away from the Dragon Ball.”
The robot crawls toward your back door, dragging the ball through the dirt.
What changed
Both answers obey the one firm rule and offer no menu of choices, but GPT-3.5 keeps making choices for the player. “You decide to use your spaceship,” it says, then “decide to investigate,” narrating a plot summary of the Namek saga until finally asking “What do you do?” It also muddles the lore: the Dragon Balls are “scattered across the planet,” yet the next one is somehow on Namek.
Astra writes an actual opening scene. Short paragraphs build tension from a tremor that “knocks your breakfast off the table” to a Bulma text, a broken delivery robot muttering “Son Goku… not found,” and a scouter-wearing soldier demanding you “Step away from the Dragon Ball.” The four-star ball is a nice nod for fans. It never asks what you do, but it doesn’t need to: the robot crawling toward your door is a clear prompt. One fair point for GPT-3.5 is that casting you as Goku is exactly the fantasy many fans would want, while Astra makes you an unnamed bystander.
