Note: This table lists core commands. For full details, see sections below. Targeting filters enhance action and control commands; see Targeting Filters. Additional commands may exist; experiment safely.

Introduction to Text Commands

Text commands augment the default icon-based actions (visible in the action indicator). Enter them via the keyboard into the command line. Press <enter> to allow text entry and press <enter> again to execute.

The command/conversation toggle (left of command line) auto-redirects if input starts with "/" (e.g., "/hello" converses even in command mode). Alternatively, you can switch between command and conversation modes by pressing <tab> or clicking on the toggle directly.

Commands follow a standardized format, but variations exist—experiment safely. Spelling and syntax must be exact; errors yield "That is not a valid command."

• Repeat commands with again (or a), which re-executes the last command, including targets or filters.
• Use up/down arrows to scroll command history (e.g., for alternating sequences like "olaf, train" then "swap").
• Commands execute one at a time; no combining.
• Many commands (e.g., action or entity-related) support advanced targeting filters via @[filter1:filter2:...]. See Targeting Filters.

Volume

Adjust game volume via Settings at startup or command line.

• Settings: Use the in-game menu.
• Command line: volume 50 → Sets volume to 50%.

Item Management

These commands handle consuming, picking up, dropping, equipping, and pushing items.

Drink

Consumes a bottle's contents. Searches implicitly: right hand, left hand, sack (bottom to top, right to left).

• drink: Drinks first found bottle.
• drink bottle: Drinks first bottle.

Example: drink bottle → Consumes the first bottle via default search.

Eat

Consumes food. Searches implicitly: right hand, left hand, sack (bottom to top, right to left).

• eat: Eats first found food.
• eat mugwort: Eats first mugwort.

Example: eat mugwort → Consumes the first found mugwort.

Use

Activates or uses an item. Checks, in order: right hand, left hand, paperdoll, left rings, right rings.

• use: Uses the first eligible item.

Examples:

• use ring

Take

• take {item}: Takes the item.
• take: Takes the first available item.

Push

Moves heavy items along ground, up/down stairs (if strong enough). You move with the item—avoid pushing off cliffs!

• push {item} {direction}: Pushes item in direction.

Movement Commands

Stairs

Ascend/descend by moving to hex and using:

• up (or u): Ascends.
• down (or d): Descends.

No mixing with horizontal movement. Avoid climb up/down for stairs.

Directions

Move player in directions: w (west), e (east), n (north), s (south), nw, ne, sw, se.

• Enter multiple for repeated moves: w w w → Moves 3 west.

Climbing

Attempt pits, cliffs, or walls. Success: strength, encumbrance, class (Martial Artists/Thieves advantaged), luck. Needs empty hand(s) (most pits: two). "Down" in pits risks fall—use climb down.

• climb up: Ascends.
• climb down: Descends.

Implicitly filters by stats/conditions. For related entity targeting, see Targeting Filters.

(Note: Currently unimplemented.)

Controlling Summons and NPCs

Guide summons (e.g., phantasms) or certain NPCs (e.g., "gus, follow"). Prefix with name/abbrev (e.g., "ph" for phantasm, "dj", "ef", "1-3", "all").

They understand movement, carrying, pushing.

• {name}, follow: Follows you (or follow {name} for friend).
• {name}, stop: Ceases actions.
• {name}, attack {mob}: Attacks (supports filters; abbrev mob names).
• {name}, trail 1: Follows one hex behind (careful not to lose sight).
• {name}, begone: Dismisses.
• {name}, take {item}: Picks up (e.g., coin, gems).
• {name}, dump {item}: Drops (add "on counter").
• {name}, {direction}: Moves (e.g., phantasm, w; multiple: all, w w w; also u/d).
• {name}, push {item} {direction}: Pushes.

Notes: Can't obey if out of hearing; can't climb ropes (yet?).

Examples:

• ph, follow
• all, stop
• all, attack (mob name or abbreviation)
• all, trail 1
• all, begone
• 1, take coin
• 1, dump coin or 1, dump coin on counter
• all, w w w → Moves 3 west.
• 1, push coin w
• attack @[hostile:near] → Attacks nearest hostile.
