good news:
mkdir ~/.beret
mkdir ~/.beret/saves
mkdir ~/.beret/rooms
cd ~/.beret
beret

details:
at least the version shlevy packaged for nixos is not able to
create a config/state dir, except on OSX, it just assumes there is a
saves (and rooms?) folder in CWD (see game.c:818 and following).

bad news:
now it's actually fun to play the game...
