refly

refly is an experimental fluent C# Interactive Fiction platform. The /refly/StoryFiles/CloakOfDarkness.cs file is a very early and rough draft of how I think the implementation might look.

The platform borrows from Inform 6, 7, and FyreVM, but will compile to a .NET executable (for now).

Design Points

• Fluent Syntax - Everything is an object within an object.
