GRUESCRIPT

Gruescript is a scripting language/online tool for creating
point-n-click text adventures. For more information and full
documentation, see <https://github.com/robindouglasjohnson/gruescript/blob/main/docs/gruescript.md>

It's also hosted at https://versificator.itch.io/gruescript

'index.html' is the Gruescript tool. This is identical to the online
version. It should run from your filesystem with no problems. It's
known to work with recent versions of Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

The directory 'res' contains javascript and css. To make it easy for
Gruescript to download the authored game (especially when running from
the filesystem), only editor-specific code and styling is included in
these files. The rest is embedded in index.html.

The directory 'stuff' contains 'gruescript-npp-syntax.xml'. This is a
syntax highlighting definition file for Notepad++ (made for dark mode).
It's actually not quite as clever as the highlighter in the online
tool, but it'll be helpful if you write Gruescript in N++.

If you want to work completely offline, the easiest way is to 'download'
your game (or a blank game) as an HTML page from the Gruescript tool,
and then edit the gruescript in the resulting HTML document, near the
bottom between the <textarea> and </textarea> tags. (A previous bundle
included a 'template.html' file, but this way you'll always have the
latest engine code.) You can then mess with the layout and styling of
that page however you like.
