Written in C++ with the c standard library. My first text adventure game. There are no dependencies, so play around with the source to your heart's content, compile it for whatever you want. Oh, and if anyone asks, I did not tell you that programming like this is okay.

You play the Marshal of Darkness as he escapes from his own dungeon, committing acts of villainy to procede, against the heroes and his own treacherous minions.

He does not like fair fights, but backstabbing and murdering helpless people is his idea of a good time.

Hints for the perplexed:
-movement is always in the four cardinal compass directions (or 'down', in one specific case). The exits from a room are listed in the room description. So, to follow a 'passage to the east', type 'move east'.

-This game has a lot of hints built into it. The 'look' command is your tool here. It will give you not only visual info but also your character's insight. Also, some items can only be seen this way

-There is one place very early on where you must wait to obtain an item. Type in a couple of junk commands to pass time.

-It is possible to use weapons in such a way that will later come back to bite you. All weapons are limited use, so be careful.
