Welcome to this open world adventure! Before we begin, would you like to tell me what kind of universe or setting you'd like to explore? (Fantasy, Sci-fi, Modern, Post-apocalyptic, etc.)



## 2 | Zork

Ah, a classic text adventure universe! You find yourself standing in an open field west of a white house with a boarded front door. A forest surrounds you. This is where your adventure begins. What would you like to do?



## 3 | go toward the house

You approach the white house. There's a small window on one side that looks slightly ajar, and around back there might be more to explore. A mailbox stands near the front door. What would you like to investigate?



## 4 | open a mailbox

Opening the mailbox reveals a small leaflet inside. You can take it if you wish to read it. The house looms before you, its boarded entrance still forbidding. What would you like to do?



## 5 | look at it

The leaflet appears to be a welcome letter to ZORK: The Great Underground Empire. It includes basic instructions for adventurers and mentions valuable treasures hidden in a vast underground realm. Would you like to keep exploring around the house?



## 6 | Yes

You can either continue investigating the slightly open window, walk around to the back of the house, or examine the boarded front door more closely. Each path might offer a different way inside. Which direction interests you?
