Introduction Rez is a language, compiler, and runtime for writing choice-based interactive fiction/RPG/simulation games based on HTML, Javascript, CSS, and — optionally — graphics, audio, and movie files. Rez started as a quick alternative to Twine for an author who had become frustrated with Twine. Twine describes itself as an "open source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories." It makes it relatively easy for those with almost no development experience to get started and create a choice-based game. ...
Rez Authors Guide
Chapter 1: Creating Your First Game Let’s start right at the beginning. We assume you have installed Rez and have an open terminal window in a folder where you’d like to create a new game. > rez new first_game This creates a set of folders and puts some initial content into them.

Rez Behaviour Catalog
$sequence The $sequence behaviour takes two or more children and, when executed, it executes each of its children in turn. If any child fails then $sequence will stop at that point and fail.

If you get half way through a recipe and are missing a key ingredient, the recipe cannot be finished. ...

For example @item and @inventory can be used to define much more than physical objects. You could have an inventory representing things different actors know about and use an item for individual topics/thoughts. Or items could represent spells in an inventory spell-book. The @item/@inventory elements are flexible enough to cover a range of container/containment situations. ...
