Cloak of Darkness (Another Version) by DavyB

This game was added to the Sandpit for the following reason: Limited audience

This game appears to be written for a small number of people, instead of for a broader audience.
Sandpit
Quest
This is for demonstration purposes only! Comments welcome.

It is an attempt to implement the Cloak of Darkness, following the look used in the version created by the Pixie: http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/util/cloak_of_darkness.aslx

As far as possible, the specification is followed precisely. Any assumptions made are listed. Type HELP and ABOUT for details.

The implementation also tries to make best use of what appear to be the most appropriate facilities in Quest. In doing so, a number of possible improvements to Quest are identified.

My apologies @DavyB ! I forgot to read the description or the ABOUT page before I played it. I appreciate your kind response to my somewhat negligent comment. :)

Sorry, I should have made clear that this is a 'well known' demo game! It aims to be a thorough implementation but also raises some issues about Quest facilities. Type ABOUT for more details.

Update- I found a new ending, but it still is very short, and it is unclear why two very similar commands result in winning or losing the game. I like the mechanics of the game and would love to play a longer version though, so great work on developing a nicely detailed and interesting game.

I had barely started, made it to only two rooms other than the start room, and got a message that I had lost and the game ended. Does the game really end here? That was very short and an odd abrupt ending. I will play it again and not read that message and see if it is longer.
