### Windows, macOS, Linux
1. You can download the ZIP-file or tarball from the latest release and install with `pip` manually.
2. You can also download the ZIP-file or tarball from the latest release and run the game directly with `python` from the entry script `the-chosen.py`
## How to play
There are multiple commands you can use to interact with the game world.
This following list can also be displayed in-game by typing `help` and pressing `enter` afterwards.

### Shortcuts
There are also some shortcuts:

i : inventory
~~~
### Positional commands
There are also positional commands:
`talk`, `fight`, `take`, `drop`, `hug`, `open`, `close`, `lock` and `unlock` are positional commands.
An example `talk` command:
~~~ text
> talk stranger -> talk to a NPC named "stranger"
~~~
An example `fight` command:
~~~ text
> fight stranger with sword -> fight a NPC named "stranger" with a weapon called "sword"
~~~
You can also just input a positional command as you would input a normal one and the game will ask you for the parameters.
Have fun!
