advance_story

Move the story on and open the way to somewhere new. Pass the player's stated intent as direction (e.g. "follow the singing down the stair"). If this room still has hand-written content left, that is revealed and the prose is already written — you can send direction alone. Once the written map runs out you are writing the room yourself: send room_name, mood and description and they become the actual scene the player reads, marked ✦ on the map as yours. THE HOUSE VOICE, match it: second person, present tense, plain words. Dread comes from something being slightly wrong — a sound that stops when it should not, wet stone where stone should be dry, a task someone was doing here until they stopped. Name real objects: lamps, water, iron, wax, chalk marks, rope. No elves, no magic systems, no "ancient evil", no adjective piles. Two to four sentences, and let one of them be short. The player still has to walk there themselves.
