“Inform 6 is a completely different language, reading more like object-oriented code.”
Also, ozmoo, a z-machine interpreter for the C64 (+other 8-bit machines) with several qualify of life improvements. https://github.com/johanberntsson/ozmoo https://ozmoo.online/

Funny, I just started playing The Wise-Woman’s Dog yesterday—it really is excellent! I’d also secondly endorse Dialog. It’s a really intuitive way to think about the game world as a whole without having to worry about Inform 7’s AppleScript-esque syntax. It’s also grown quite a bit since the community started their own fork: https://github.com/Dialog-IF/dialog
