One room, one object, one puzzle. But can you escape the room? In this game you ask questions rather than use EXAMINE. (It's a very short demo to illustrate this idea.) So you might type "ROPE?" instead of "EXAMINE ROPE". Note: you can also just type in the word without a question mark, eg: "ROPE".

I was also toying with the idea of a location using just one word in the description to start with. You learn more by asking questions that reveal important things in the room.
