The wonderful Dan Pope (lordmauve), who also runs PyWeek, wrote this funky project that sounds exactly like what you're looking for:
https://github.com/lordmauve/adventurelib Documentation here: https://adventurelib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ Dan is a developer I have a huge amount of respect for (he's also a buddy too), and I believe the quality of his code will be good, the documentation comprehensive and he'd be open to feedback, bug reports and suggestions. For what it's worth, I'm currently writing a simple MUD engine in Python (a multi-user text based adventure game), which I'll be presenting at EuroPython in just over a month (https://ep2020.europython.eu/talks/AGaSaW8-how-to-run-a-corridor-track-in-a-remote-conference-with-python/) Best of luck.
