Errors in simple text adventure game?

No, because then you'd have a different try: that didn't have an except anymore.

In order to try to avoid confusing nested pathways like this, it's generally a good idea to have only a few lines in a try block, like 2 or 3 max. Any more than that, and you're probably trying to do too much with one exception handler.

Ok, so now I'm getting another error about a variable I have?
