The concept is very original. It's a well made text-only game.

I like the retro art style. Music is a good background.

Adding a few SFX to the terminal typing would have made it more immersive.

Really good work !

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I like the concept of only being able to experience a world through a command line interface and the aesthetics really work in this regard. I do feel like there's something missing here before it really starts to feel fun. Maybe there's some interesting mechanics if you take a bit more inspiration from real terminals like adding arguments to repeat commands or piping the output of one command into another.

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback! Yes! During the development stage, there were many ideas for the terminal and windows, as well as various features, but when there were only four hours left until the end of the jam, and only the basic mechanics were working, and we still had to finish the sound and menu, I realized that we wouldn't be able to finish anything, and it would be better to submit what we had than nothing at all...that's how it was :)
