Hugo
From IFWiki
Hugo is an abbreviation for the Hugo Interactive Fiction Development System, a freeware programming language developed for creating IF games by Kent Tessman. Its structure and style of programming is similar to Inform and TADS, making use of both attribute-setting/clearing and class inheritance in defining objects. It inherits Inform's strong "object tree" structure in dealing with manipulation of objects (e.g., when a mug is being sent to the player, this is written as "move mug to you" ['you' being the chosen label for the player character]), as well as TADS's usage of a pre-defined object classes (such as 'scenery', 'character' and 'attachable') in further defining object behavior.
