And here is the paper [1] about how they procedurally generate the histories in Caves of Qud. Very interesting both from a storytelling theoretical point of view, and from a practical programming point of view (state machines and replacement grammers)

Makes you wonder what you could do applying something like the GPT-3 AI text model to this kind of problem (history generation).

Definitely make sure you don’t forget to play it. It’s an absolute treasure. I’ve played to the end of the campaign so far and I can’t wait to play some games again when I get on a work term this fall!
Apparently it's slated to leave early access in Q4 2020, so I'm holding off on buying it for the moment, but I'm very eager to play it.
