Larn is a game in a group of games collectively called rogue like.
Larn, moria, nethack, rogue (the original), and probably others are all
similar in game play, even if the story changes, the basic play is
identical, you move around a dungeon, collect items, and delve deeper to
solve/complete a task, (usually to kill something on the deepest floor
of the dungeon). I've played all of the above games, and never managed
to beat any of them. Guess rogue likes just aren't my best genre.
Still like them though, and still play nethack from time to time.

No sound, and no mud. You play this on your local machine. Your screen
reader produces what sounds come from the game as a result of reading
text.
You start out on the town screen after giving a character name which has
three types of characters.
Letters which are monsters who would like to chew on your face and other
parts. The period character which is open ground, and numbers which are
locations to enter.
You enter those with upper-case E and except for the dungeon which is 8
and volcano which is 9 you use
escape key to leave the others.
You got a sick daughter at home and 10,000 moves to first get enough
experience in the dungeon; next sell gems at bank, next upgrade
equipment at D&D store, and next enter the volcano to find the potion
that will cure your daughter. I think there's another mission after
that one, but I've never lived long enough to find out.
It's a top down view game like nethack and rogue and hack if you've ever
played those. In the dungeon, the # character is a wall and though
looking with : and ^searching for traps with ^ are supported, no long
searching is done in this game like in nethack.
I haven't figured out how to wear rings yet but I'm working on that.

What game is this, and does it have sound or is it just a mud.

I was getting killed off early and often so changed game strategy and
started reading scrolls and books and drinking potions when found. I
was
confused for a while from one of those potions, but one of the scrolls
I
read asked for a direction so I gave it one. A ray shot out and
crumbled
a statue and I got another scroll out of the statue. So apparently
statues are scroll or book holders and unlike nethack don't have to be
moved a couple levels to yield their contents.
