a dimly lit room
you are in a windowless room. the walls, floor, and ceiling appear to be stone. a small skylight overhead provides a small measure of light.

this implementation of the text adventure uses a <div> to display the text. another version uses alert boxes.
interestingly, this version can be used as an html code tester. just enter some code and it will process it! keep in mind that any styles set here still apply to it. if you want to be able to enter more than a short line of text, i also have a better html tester.
