The easiest way to get started is by running Gnusto’s bootstrap script. It sets up a new game scaffold that you can run and test on your own machine.
Gnusto is a flexible and powerful framework for writing interactive fiction games. Drawing inspiration from the Infocom classics of the 1980s, it provides a modern toolkit that makes building rich, dynamic text adventures easy and enjoyable—allowing you to focus on storytelling and world-building rather than engine mechanics.
Gnusto is written in cross-platform Swift, allowing you to deploy your games on Mac, Linux, Windows, iOS and Android. The framework emphasizes ergonomics and developer experience, providing type safety without boilerplate code. Built with extensibility in mind, you can customize and extend Gnusto to fit your creative vision.
