# 神魔（西游记之神魔传说） / Gods and Demons: Legend of the Journey West (shenmo)

> slug: `shenmo` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40067`

A long-lived ES II/Neolith-engine game — sharing its engine lineage with sibling games shenzhou and Suiyuan Sword Legend in this collection — developed and maintained continuously from 1994 to 2013 by a long succession of wizards, and one of the largest archives in this collection at over 30,000 source files. Characters choose to be human, immortal, or demon before setting out from the South City Inn in Chang'an on a Journey-to-the-West-themed adventure through the demons and deities encountered along Tang Sanzang's pilgrimage route, built on the classic wuxia/xianxia progression of stats, sects, and martial cultivation. The South Sea Guanyin's Mount Putuo order even carries a persistent 'head disciple' title that naturally passes between characters as the game is played over time.

## Run natively with FluffOS

1. Build a current FluffOS driver from https://github.com/fluffos/fluffos
   (native `build` / `build-debug`; see that repo's docs).
2. Download and unzip `shenmo.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/shenmo/`).
3. From the unzipped lib directory, ensure `config.fluffos` points
   `mudlib directory` at this tree (the checked-in file may contain a
   maintainer-local absolute path — edit it to your extract path).
4. Start the driver:

```bash
/path/to/fluffos/build/src/driver config.fluffos
```

5. Connect a UTF-8 MUD client to `127.0.0.1:40067`.
