This is a text adventure, an old and slightly weird type of game. Especially when you haven't exactly made them before, I'm sure.

You can interact with the world by typing things like "go north" and "drop lighter" and "examine trees". If the format is entirely unfamiliar to the point that this is unplayable, The Dreamhold is a fantastic tutorial-ish introduction made by a master of the genre.

The most important commands/actions to know for this particular story are:
look
look at x
go direction
get x
drop x
wear x
inventory
touch x or press x
burn x or light x
spray x with y
fill x with y
undo

Have fun!
