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.

    Rogue or Nethack are great.

    In terms of adventure games, there is of course Adventure. And The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.

    Mentioned this in a thread, but will comment at a top-level:

    ProsperousUniverse.com - You’ll end up wanting to use spreadsheets for the game. It’s EVE Online production/trading without the combat.

    It’s a very slow paced game so don’t go into it expecting a current-era gaming experience. And yes, super viable to play the game without paying anything for at least 9months.

    A good one is one called “Excel”. You make up numbers and put them in boxes, with the goal of getting “impression” points. The fancier your graphs, the more points you get. You can build up your points to get “promotions”. The best feature of this game is that your points can make you IRL money!

    Some people find the game boring, but I think that’s only because they’re not creative enough with making up numbers, and get bogged down in “truth” and “accuracy.”

      Ever been on twitch? There are all kind of Pepe emotes used there (and related frogs). It’s a bit like saying “everyone talking German doesn’t mind being confused for a nazi”. Ridiculous.
