Suggestions for first commands:
>I
You are carrying nothing.
>X ME
As good-looking as ever.
>X DOOR
The door to the north is ancient, stained, knotted wood. It looks terribly out of place here. In fact, it is out of place here. The door is closed.
>OPEN DOOR
You push the door open. It doesn't creak at all.
>ENTER DOOR
White Room
This is a comfortably cluttered room. Cluttered with bookshelves, mostly. To one side is a large desk, on which a computer squats regally. A lumpy couch is the only other furniture of note.
Beside the computer is a small glass box.
Resting on the couch, and snoring in a manner which you suspect infringes copyrights owned by several local earthquakes, is a huge genie. Honest.
From there the world's your oyster. I recommend examining (abbreviated X) any noun mentioned (shelves, desk, computer, box, genie, toys, puzzles, keyboard) and otherwise interacting with things as you might expect. This cheat sheet may help: https://pr-if.org/doc/play-if-card/play-if-card.pdf
Maybe try PRESS GREEN to launch into a REPL. To get to learn the objective, BREAK BOX might be necessary.
