      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.

          Honestly, I prefer the original to the sequels.

              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.

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