Gameplay

As a text based game it starts with the opening "You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully". From here it is up to the player to decide how to explore the caves in the game. There are obstacles that must be overcome and treasure to bring back to the house.
