I find in situations like this that it helps to give an overall detailed description of the area at the start of exploration (lighting, smells, environmental effects, crooning height), and only describe more if something in a new area is different. If there’s nothing in an area for them to find, feel free to narrate them through it. It’s not railroading, it’s good storytelling.

I’m building a system right now. It’s still d20 based, but uses additional dice instead of static numbers for the three stats.
