Silent Terminal

> boot SILENT_TERMINAL > rendering world............ done > you wake in the dark. SILENT TERMINAL is a dark-fantasy RPG that lives entirely inside your terminal. No textures. No shaders. No cinematic noise — just ASCII, deep RPG systems, branching stories, and your imagination against the dark. Explore ASCII ruins, fight tactical turn-based battles, talk your way past (or into) trouble, craft and grow your character, and make choices a persistent world quietly remembers. ────────────────────────────────────────────── A WORLD THAT REMEMBERS ────────────────────────────────────────────── You are not the chosen hero. You are a survivor in a ruined land of shadows, forgotten gods, broken kingdoms, and buried secrets. Every step can reveal a hidden passage, a half-erased inscription, a lethal ambush — or a decision that rewrites the state of the world. The terminal isn't just the interface. It's the world. ────────────────────────────────────────────── WHAT YOU'LL DO ────────────────────────────────────────────── ▸ EXPLORE ASCII DUNGEONS & RUINED LANDS Move across tile-based maps, trip hidden triggers, search the environment, and piece the lore together through atmospheric text events. ▸ FIGHT TACTICAL TURN-BASED BATTLES Enemies rendered in handcrafted ASCII. Juggle HP and mana, attack, defend, exploit status effects and crits, and learn each foe's pattern. Bosses fight back in phases. ▸ MAKE CHOICES THAT STICK Dialogue, quests, factions and events branch on what you do. NPCs remember. Some consequences follow you for the rest of the campaign. ▸ BUILD A CHARACTER THAT'S YOURS Pick a class, level up, shape your stats, equip gear, and load a kit from hundreds of unlockable abilities. ▸ LOOT, CRAFT & EXPERIMENT Hundreds of items across multiple rarities drop from enemies and bosses. Forge equipment, brew potions in the Alchemy lab, and unlock new power through Research. ▸ LIVE WITH A PERSISTENT WORLD The WorldState system tracks what you unlock, destroy, seal, discover or abandon — and lets it ripple across the campaign. ────────────────────────────────────────────── BUILD & SHARE YOUR OWN WORLDS ────────────────────────────────────────────── SILENT TERMINAL ships with a built-in Adventure Editor. Design maps, enemies, NPCs, quests, dialogue, branching choices, events and world-state changes — then play them, expand them, and share them with other players online. One terminal. Endless adventures. ────────────────────────────────────────────── KEEP COMING BACK ────────────────────────────────────────────── ▸ Daily Runs — a fresh challenge every day ▸ Achievements to chase ▸ Meta-progression that carries between runs ▸ Multiple save slots and selectable difficulty ▸ A growing library of community campaigns ────────────────────────────────────────────── FOR PLAYERS WHO LOVE ────────────────────────────────────────────── ▸ Classic computer RPGs (CRPGs) ▸ ASCII and terminal-based games ▸ Roguelikes and dungeon crawlers ▸ Interactive fiction ▸ Choice-driven stories ▸ Deep systems over shiny graphics ────────────────────────────────────────────── WHY ASCII? ────────────────────────────────────────────── Because imagination was always the best graphics engine. SILENT TERMINAL uses ASCII not as a limitation, but as a style — a way to make you read, think, imagine, and step inside the world. No visual noise. No microtransactions. No filler. Just the story, the numbers, the choices, and your wits against the terminal. ────────────────────────────────────────────── UNDER THE HOOD ────────────────────────────────────────────── ▸ Flicker-free, double-buffered terminal rendering ▸ Save / load system with multiple slots ▸ Classes, stats, XP, inventory, equipment, abilities & quests ▸ Node-based branching narrative engine ▸ Persistent WorldState tracking ▸ Modular campaigns — local and online loading ▸ Built-in Adventure Editor ▸ Crisp 100×30 character interface, fully keyboard-driven ────────────────────────────────────────────── > WISHLIST SILENT TERMINAL ────────────────────────────────────────────── If you live for old-school RPGs, ASCII worlds, interactive fiction and choices that matter — add SILENT TERMINAL to your wishlist and follow development.
