The game works taking commands inputted by the user.
Anything you type in the text-box is a “command” (e.g. “talk to the treant”). Every time you type a command in the box and you press enter your command is processed and the appropriate text is displayed in the text area (e.g. if you type “go north” in the text area will appear the description of the area you moved into). Commands within the game can change, so if you pick up a new Item that will allow you to perform a new action the command will be made available (e.g. if you pick up a key you will then be able to use the command “open”).
Those listed below are the available commands when you start the game, other commands might be discovered and made available while playing the game.
There is a help command that shows all the available commands.
The go command allows you to move around in all the different areas of the map, it has to be used together with the direction you want to take (e.g. “go south”).
The examine command lets you examine an item or a character showing its description. If that item is of the class of items that cannot be picked up it could contain other items that will be shown and made available to pick up once the item has been examined. If the item is a weapon its specs would also be displayed (e.g. damage, miss rate etc.). This command can be used by itself to examine the area you are in or together with the item/character you want to examine (e.g. “examine wardrobe”)
The pick up or take command lets you pick up items from the area you are currently in or from another item you have already examined. Some items (e.g. bed) cannot be taken. This command has to be used together with the item you want to pick up (e.g. “take the apple”).
The drop or leave command allows you to drop an item or an ingredient from your bag, when the item is dropped it will be placed in the area or room you are in that moment. This command has to be used together with the item you want to drop (e.g. “drop an apple”).
The equip command allows you to equip a weapon or an item you are carrying. Not all the items can be equipped. This command has to be used together with the item/weapon you want to equip (e.g. “equip the knife”).
The attack command allows you to attack enemies and eventually kill them, every time you attack an enemy its life will be reduced and the remaining life will be displayed. Be careful that enemies can also attack you to reduce your life total. This command has to be used together with the enemy you want to attack (e.g. “attack the wolf”).
The speak or talk command allows you to speak with some characters within the game. This command has to be used together with the character you want to speak to (e.g. speak to the druid).
The say command lets you say a word or a sentence loudly. This command has to be used together with the word/sentence you want to say (e.g. “say hello”).
