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.

Nethack, maybe?
That used to be my slacking off game at my first real job. I’d ssh into my computer at home and sneakily play Nethack whenever I got bored. Either that or browse websites with Links.
This was around 2007 and way outside my comfort zone as far as computers were concerned. I felt like such a hacker at the time :)
trimps, it’s mostly text ish and crazy good ! Just make sure you type it with an i
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).
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.
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.
Alter Ego! Underrated text-based DOS classic, now easily playable in your browser:
Aardwolf MUD. Hundreds of people online at peak. Lots of replayability. Some color in your terminal.
Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead
I would recommend Universal Paperclips to anyone who enjoyed A Dark Room.
ugh…
man. I spent way way too much time on that cow clicker
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.
Fuck yeah. Glad to see them gaining popularity
i almost ascended NetHack at work playing over Telnet on nethack.alt.org
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.
(it’s not that good otherwise, doesn’t compare to actual people :/)
bitburner!
(a programming-based incremental RPG where you write JavaScript scripts to automate gameplay, hack servers, learn skills, and progress in a cyberpunk world. free on steam or in your browser)
Good game
Frogcomposband is my favourite Angband varient. There’s a huge amount of classes to pick from, towns with quests and once you get a hang of it, most of the interactions can be done by the number pad.
