The Mansion

The first worlds I ever shipped, back in high school: rooms, verbs, and a parser slowly learning to survive players who type the unexpected.

They taught the founding lesson: the player's imagination outrenders any engine, as long as the words point it somewhere good.

The Mansion, the first of them, survived the years: I restored it and you can play it right here. Wake up in a creepy mansion, get out alive, and maybe even find your way home.
