>You have found a TOOL for creating interactive fiction.>About

>Ask about HOW TO USE>This TOOL contains a table upon which a large, ancient-looking BOOK is placed. Upon closer inspection, the BOOK is titled “INFORM7.” It is written in English, but its syntax is undecipherable.

>More about INFORM7>This BOOK is dull.

>Examine>You look around you. On the east wall, you find four AFFORDANCES hanging in nice picture frames. The AFFORDANCES are labeled TUTORIALS, CREATOR ENGAGEMENT, COMMUNITY, BROWSER-BASED.

>Help>While walking up to examine the AFFORDANCES, your foot brushes against a pile of raggedy CONSTRAINTS discarded on the floor. In a messy scrawl, the CONSTRAINTS are labeled: NOT INTUITIVE, MOSTLY VERBAL, and LEARNING CURVE.

>About MODES>You approach a closed, locked door; you have reached an impasse. To figure out what to do next, you can LOOK, READ, or MOVE.

>About AUDIENCE>You hear a click-clacking noise coming from behind you. Turning around, you see a SMART PERSON using a COMPUTER.

>EXIT>Overwhelmed by all of the confusing activity in this godforsaken place, you run away never to look back.

>END>Somehow, you have died of dysentery.
