Before I say anything else, let me just say this. Yes, this is compatible on all systems, SO LONG AS THEY HAVE A Z-CODE INTERPRETER! The game was released as a Z8 file, that is, the story file alone. Now, I present you A Prologue to Doom, my debut in IF. Coded in 2 days using Inform 7, this game was tested over and over again, and lemme tell ya, it was such a pain in the arse.
Download the game itself (story file inside .zip only): HERE.

I couldn't get past the living room. You should list the exits in the room descriptions. I gave up because it just felt like a guessing game and even the items in the descriptions weren't recognized by the parser, i.e.:

There is blood on the floor
> touch blood
You can't see any such thing

Honestly, that was because that's not really part of the tory, so I didn't code it as much.

For those kinds of things, I think it's better to give a custom default response. So in I7 you could write something like, 'instead of doing anything with the [your nouns here], say "That's not important to the story." (extremely paraphrased code there). Then it doesn't look like it's just an oversight.

Good idea. I'll begin work on a new version with a new name now.
