Hurrying through the rainswept November night, you're glad to see the bright lights of the [[Opera House->Foyer]]. It's surprising that there aren't more people about but, hey, what do you expect in a cheap demo game...?A handsome cloak, of velvet trimmed with satin, and slightly spattered with raindrops. Its blackness is so deep that it almost seems to suck light from the room.

Shaking the rain from your [[cloak->Cloak]], you step gratefully inside.
[cont'd]
You are standing in a spacious hall, splendidly decorated in red and gold, with glittering chandeliers overhead. The entrance from the street is to the [[north->Outside]], and there are doorways [[south->Bar]] and [[west->Cloakroom]].room: 'Cloakroom'

The walls of this small room were clearly once lined with hooks, though now [[only one remains->Cloakroom Hook]].

The exit is a door to the [[east->Foyer]].It's just a small brass hook, screwed to the wall.

You can't see a thing! Not even the door you entered by--was it [[north->Foyer]], [[south->Darkness 2]], [[east->Darkness 2]] or [[west->Darkness 2]]?Blundering around in the dark isn't a good idea! You can't tell [[left->Darkness 3]] from [[right->Darkness 3]], let alone [[east->Darkness 3]] from [[west->Darkness 3]] or [[north->Foyer]] from [[south->Darkness 3]].No, this isn't getting you anywhere... Let's see, the door was [[south->Darkness 4]], wasn't it? So the exit must be [[north->Foyer]], unless you've gotten [[turned around->Darkness 4]].Oops, this is just a blank wall! But perhaps if you [[follow it around->Foyer]]...
