At the end of 2025, Microsoft opensourced the source code for Zork. This bot allows you to play Zork I, II and III on Bluesky.
Mention @zorkbot in a new post for setup commands. During play, send
moves as replies to the bot’s latest message in that game thread.
Alternatively, you can send commands directly in a DM with the bot.
