Some text-based games to play at work?

Original question by @[email protected]
I've played A dark room, and Zork. I'm looking something more like the first one, text-based but able to push some buttons to do things rater than do everything with commands. I've thinking in Dwarf Fortress, but it's too colorish, like Brogue, which I do like a lot.
Do anyone have some recommendations? Thank you.
This one! It's called Evolve

I would recommend Universal Paperclips to anyone who enjoyed A Dark Room.
I second this. The background and philosophy behind it, the questions you ask yourself, the thinking it makes are really worth.

If you're up for a browser based game, Kingdom of Loathing can be really fun.

wrote last edited by [email protected]not what you're asking for, but it's worth a little fun goofing around with 'Perchance' dungeons and dragons AI.
I got married to a rock.

MUD’s are poised to make a comeback.
As an aside, how is your thumbnail animated? First I’ve seen that.
It's a GIF. You can try it.

keep hearing about this game, what makes it so special?
It's depth is absolutely outrageous, I would recommend the recent 4 part documentary about the making of.

Honestly, I prefer the original to the sequels.

wrote last edited by [email protected]you could explore yourworldoftext
its basically an infinite multiplayer word processor, where anyone can put down text anywhere and edit it.im not gonna spoil too much as that would ruin the fun, but i will say the rabbit hole goes deep.
useful tip: click menu > show coordinates.

It's cool place but doesn't have moderation so there is a lot NSFW stuff there.

true. though i will say its much less extreme/chaotic the farther you go out. still probably probably not great for work given the fact that anyone can edit.

Dwarf fortress classic
Or Caves of Qud for a more adventure based game (I know DF has an adventure mode but goddamn is Caves of Qud good).
