Player Guide

Everything players and game designers need: how to connect and play, what commands do, and how to build and shape the world.

What’s a MUSH?

A MUSH is a text-based multiplayer world. You type commands, the game describes what happens, and other players see and respond to your actions in real time. Think of it as collaborative storytelling with a persistent world — locations stay where you built them, characters have ongoing histories, and the game keeps running whether you’re connected or not.

MUSHes have been around since the early 1990s. HoloMUSH carries that tradition forward with modern infrastructure: web-based access, resilient sessions, and a plugin system that makes it straightforward to add new game mechanics.
