Crossroads is a multi-user adventure game.
You, as a player, can move around the realms, talk to other players, engage in combat, and perform countless other actions. In the game, your terminal becomes your eyes and ears. When you move or speak in the game, other players will see messages similar to the example, but with your name instead. Note that the close parenthesis is the prompt, meaning you can now enter a command. There are commands to move around, manipulate items, and deal with combat and magic.
