Sounds like a pretty awesome idea. I'd personally model it like this:
<#node1>
a game:Node ;
foaf:name "Dark Cave" ;
foaf:depiction <...> ;
dcterms:description "..." .
I'd say that game:Node is not disjoint with foaf:Document. That gives
you flexibility - in some cases a node might be a page, and in other
cases you might have several nodes described on the same page.
Links to other places could be accomplished using:
<#node1>
game:north <#node2> ;
game:south <otherdoc.xhtml#wasteland> ;
game:east <http://example.net/game#node9> .
The description itself would have more detailed descriptions of the
directions like "To the south lies a desolate wasteland.". Directions
you'd want would probably be eight compass, points plus "up", "down",
"inside", "outside".
Each node should probably also have co-ordinates (not in WGS84, but a
made-up co-ordinate system), along the lines of:
<#node1>
game:latitude 123 ;
game:longitude -45 .
This would not be used for gameplay, but to aid authoring new nodes.
You'd want to have your "north" triple link to a node that you could
plausibly reach by going a short distance north.

I'd be happy to mock-up an interface - perhaps tonight!
