MDL looks really interesting. Is there any similar modern-day language for more advanced (graphically and input wise) adventure games? Because if not I might build one...

MDL was a language that was good for creating these mini DSLs in. Lisps today can do that too.

If you want a modern language that is purpose-built for creating games like this, there are a ton of visual novel engines. Those engines are optimized for trees/paths of dialogue and text, and for displaying media (images + audio) with the text.

renpy [0] is probably the most popular of those, but there's a long history of them if you do some digging with those keywords.
