Right.
This is the type of game in which you can execute many commands like 'take'(to take an object), 'goto' to move from a room to another room, 'look'(to see the objects in a room), 'open'(to open a drawer), ...
I think perhaps Haskell is not ideal for this. Basically, you're describing lots of objects, on each of which you can peform certain actions depending on its type and state. If this doesn't ring a bell with you, I'll spell it out: Object Orientation. :-) You could of course do it in Haskell, and I'm toying with a simulation engine in it which isn't entirely different. I just don't think it's optimal, in particular if you're looking for a problem to hone your Haskell skills on. -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
