SIDE QUEST CITY — SAHILVERSE / V1.0.0 / 26 OCTOBER 2026 ==================================================== TARGET: https://sidequestcity.sahilverse.online/ CREATOR: Sahil Tayal / sahil@sahiltayal.com PARENT: https://sahilverse.online/ CANONICAL CREATOR UNIVERSE: https://sahiltayal.com/ WHAT THIS IS A fully static fictional adult life simulator about choices, attention and hidden costs. The city has six fictional composites, 12 quest types with two options each, transparent time and resource costs, a twelve-event deterministic event deck, optional activity planner with drag/drop and accessible up/down buttons, one-step undo, timeline comparison, save/restore, JSON import/export, privacy reset, illustration/text-first modes, an optional resource-bar hide control, low-motion and focus toggles, six original fictional stories, six original short essays, 9 curated public related works, and an 18-page substantive PDF handbook. HOW TO DEPLOY TO CLOUDFLARE PAGES 1. Create/open a Cloudflare Pages project configured for Direct Upload (or deploy a new Pages project). 2. Upload the ZIP directly: index.html is at ZIP root. No build command and no framework are needed. 3. Connect the custom domain sidequestcity.sahilverse.online and ensure DNS is directed to the correct Pages project. This ZIP does NOT create DNS records or publish itself. 4. Open the custom hostname and check the PDF button, external citations, import/export and mobile layout. 5. The page self-canonical is the Side Quest City hostname. Its prominent navigation points to the parent entrance and canonical creator universe. 6. Register /world.json in a future Sahilverse/.com catalogue after deployment. No programmatic update to .com is attempted. LOCAL PREVIEW Serve the directory using 'python3 -m http.server 8000' then open http://localhost:8000/ . Avoid file:// for browser storage checks. FILES index.html = semantic site content, default readable before JS assets/style.css = visual system, responsive and reduced-motion styling assets/app.js = transparent deterministic fictional engine assets/city.svg = original fictional isometric neighbourhood drawing assets/og.png, assets/favicon.svg = original static brand media downloads/side-quest-city-player-handbook.pdf = 18-page handbook world.json = machine-readable public manifest robots.txt, sitemap.xml, _headers = SEO and recommended Cloudflare headers README.txt = this document PRIVACY & ETHICS PUBLIC and FICTIONAL only. No actual HQ screenshots or data, bank details, correspondence, private diagnoses, real personal contact names, or private account content. All six characters are fictional composites. No accounts, network API calls, analytics, psychological inference or personal scoring. A user may save fictional game state in the local browser. Exports are created on the device, and imports accept a compact validated Side Quest City JSON file. Saving can fail in privacy-restricted browsers; the game still works during the tab session. Preference toggles may be saved locally independently of the game save; reset preferences through the toggle buttons. SIMULATION RULES Game clock begins at 09:00 with a 12-hour window. Quests take 1-3 fictional hours. Resource deltas range within hand-authored options and the final resources are clamped to the inclusive range 0..10. Monetary cost is in abstract tokens, never INR. An authored event index is computed as FNV-like hash(seed|persona|turn|SIDEQUEST)%12. After each successfully executed quest, a single seeded event adjusts resources and/or remaining hours. A replay changes one option but uses the same seed and same turn-index events; a future action that becomes infeasible is marked unavailable. These rules have no empirical validity as a predictive model. No final score or ideal decision exists. CONTENT SOURCES Public creator destinations linked on-page and in world.json were accessed through web retrieval on 26 Oct 2026. The links are editorial context, not research validation. Other suggested candidate addresses were omitted when they were not accessible. If the host owner changes links, refresh world.json and the HTML references before future deployment. QA CHECKLIST / LIMITATIONS See qa-report.txt for tests actually performed and any untested areas. Static web hosting cannot automatically push links into sahiltayal.com or change DNS. Rich sound was intentionally omitted to avoid unlicensed audio and distraction. The isometric city is illustrative SVG plus real text controls, not a physics or 3D world. The concepts and event rates are invented. No psychometric, monetary or health predictions are made.
