THE
LONG ROT

A dark, living manuscript with its own reader experience — and the source story for everything MaggotClaw is building. The Long Rot is the book being rewritten into a game, and it's the story Project Zero Author will be fed to make that game.

THE BOOK

18 chapters, released in waves.

Follow the released chapters on the page — or let the MaggotClaw Reader tell the story out loud, one sentence at a time, remembering exactly where you stopped.

THE GAME

The story becomes the build.

The Long Rot is the manuscript that gets handed to Project Zero Author — the multi-AI system that will turn the story into a playable game.

THE LONG ROT READER

DON'T JUST READ IT.
LET IT SPEAK.

Reader Mode narrates released chapters, remembers where you stopped, and keeps notes attached to the exact sentence.

IMAGO

A local-first creator system built for one thing: letting people publish creator content — OnlyFans-style work included — without ever being identified. Your machine. Your files. Your identity stays out of it.

IDENTITY

Publish without being you.

Identity tools keep the person behind the content out of the content. What goes out is the work — not the face, not the name, not the trail.

LOCAL FIRST

Nothing leaves without review.

Originals stay protected on your machine in private libraries, with a hard split between private and creator material and review-gated exports. Your call, every time.

DOWNLOAD

Get IMAGO.

The latest IMAGO build downloads from right here — and the IMAGO application checks this exact channel when it looks for updates.

PROJECT
ZERO
AUTHOR

Around ten AI systems, talking to each other. Hand them a story and they pass it back and forth — writing, designing, building — until the story is a game. No human in the loop of the build. That's the whole idea.

OUTPUTTHE GAME
HOW IT WORKS

The story keeps moving.

Each AI system takes the project, does its part, and hands it to the next. The loop keeps running — write, build, test, refine — with the systems communicating with each other the whole way.

THE SCALE

High-level. Expensive. Worth it.

This is a heavy system — the target build runs around ten AI systems at once, frontier-level AI in constant conversation, and that isn't cheap. Grant funding is being pursued to build it at full scale. First target: feed it The Long Rot and let it make the game.
