```

Or any static file server. No dependencies, no bundler.

- **Neighborhood**: AI households with personalities, visits, relationships that persist
- **Death & ghosts**: electrocution/fire/starvation/old age → Grim Reaper, gravestones, night hauntings
- **Food system**: groceries stock, 4 meal tiers gated by cooking skill, food poisoning that spreads
- **Creativity money**: easel paintings, writing novels chapter by chapter
- **House parties** with scored guests and aspiration rewards
