You're doing things very procedurally. Instead of having an arbitrarily deep nesting structure, instead why not split your logic into Locations. Each Location would have a description, list of adjacent locations, possible actions, etc. Then you can just keep track of the current location and write generic code to display the description, move from Location to Location, react to user input.
