Two AI coding agents took turns steering The Secret of Monkey Island Demo entirely through structured tool calls, and they had a hard time playing it. Ornith 1.5 and 1.0 (both 9B MLX, 4bit quantization, with the Pi coding agent).
They started poking at everything in reach and puzzling over what to try next. Watch the reasoning unfold, one deliberate command at a time.
Each agent plays the same game from the same save, at the same time, through the ScummVM MCP server, no pixels, no screen reading, only structured tool calls.
Agents in this run:
- Ornith 1.5 9B MLX 4bit quantization (165,120 context window) on Pi
- Ornith 1.0 9B MLX 4bit quantization (165,120 context window) on Pi
