THE TERMINAL — Now Available

Help and Feedback Creations Feedback

The Terminal is a text-based psychological narrative set inside a decaying digital system where memory, heartbreak, and identity are fractured and rewritten through command-line mechanics.

You wake up in a quiet room. A green-tinted screen flickers.
Your vitals are steady. A presence waits.
Every word you type draws you deeper into the machine — and yourself.

:desktop_computer: What to Expect:

  • A retro CRT interface with terminal-style gameplay
  • A personal biofeedback system tracking heart rate, stress, and spikes
  • A branching story rooted in loss, memory, and psychological reconstruction
  • Subtle mechanics where every choice changes something — even if you don’t see it yet

:warning: Still under heavy development.
This is a prototype, intentionally raw and experimental. If you love atmospheric, thought-provoking storytelling, it’s well worth the entry.

:test_tube: I’m Actively Looking for Feedback:

  • Are the choices compelling? Confusing? Surprising?
  • Does the pacing feel right?
  • Are the mechanics intuitive or frustrating?
  • Do you feel emotionally connected, or distant?
  • Any bugs throughout your experience?

:speech_balloon: Leave your feedback in replies, DMs, or screenshots. Anything helps.

Thanks for helping shape something strange and personal. I want this game to linger — and I hope it does.

:green_square: Play The Terminal here
:repeat: Share with anyone who loves story-first, experimental games.

Dude this is actually being slept on – this is AWEEESOOME!!

These are some really cool visuals, genuinely screams “personality” – bravo.

That being said, would you consider adding sounds during storymode? I think it would be interesting to read “…lights seem to flicker in and out of existence as you walk into the glitching hallway” and hear sounds as each word shows up. The immersion would be amazing.

I do see a command named > listen but I don’t know what that does, how does that command work?

I truly appreciate this! thank you so much!

That idea for even more immersion sounds actually very interesting I might actually consider this! Thanks truly!

The command listen is meant to be a randomizer of the environment, so it will just respond with some action that may be going on in the world.

Thanks a lot for your response!
