Inky

Inky is a game programing system. It consists of two parts, Inky which is the editor and a runtime system. The runtime can be a webpage.

Ink is the name of the language you write. It is pretty (overly) concise, and has a lot of great features.

For choices, you can do two methods:

{North Dark Room? && East Dark Room? && South Dark Room? && West Dark Room?} Return to the [center of the room] -> Center

or fully inside a code block.

{temp_val >= 1: + Stay another day here? -> chestertown }
