Simple game. You input actions to do in a world you only know by text, and the result of those actions is shown afterwards. You can do any action(that still abides by the wiki rules), and any time immediately after the results(except maybe if the character dies). Here's the catch. Even if I don't respond, you can still input actions. What if there are like 10 actions done before I can respond? They all happen, and in order.

As an example:

Me: You stand in a grassy field. There is nothing special here, although the breeze feels strangely cold.

Other user: Examine horizon

Me: You see nothing but the sun, and immediately move your eyes away due to the brightness. You think you may have caught a glimpse of a strange cloud.

Other other user: Run towards the horizon

Other user: Stop, drop, and roll

Another user: Inventory

Me: You run towards the horizon for no particular reason. You thought it'd get hotter since you approach the sun, but it just gets colder. You roll in the grass, and start bleeding because you rolled near a lot of hidden rocks. You have no items in your inventory.

Helpful commands:

Examine (X): Lets you examine objects and see anything peculiar about them. You can examine pretty much everything. Note that you can also just put examine, which will examine your surroundings.

Inventory: Checks your inventory to see what items you have.

Consult: Command usable when the Encyclopedia is obtained. Lets you consult about certain subjects. Note that not everything is on the Encyclopedia, and you'll have to figure out some stuff on your own.

You awaken in a place, and it looks peculiar. Everything is bright, and the floor is metallic. There is almost no signs of plant life, and human life is nonexistent. You're not quite sure if you're in an unfavorable situation, but you might want to get moving.
