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

──────────────────────────────────────────────

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.

──────────────────────────────────────────────

that matter — add SILENT TERMINAL to your wishlist and follow development.

The dark is waiting.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

SILENT TERMINAL uses generative AI as a creative aid during development. Specifically, the promotional images on this store page (the capsule, header, key art and illustrations) were created with AI tools and then reviewed, edited and curated by our human team.

The game itself is built from human created and human supervised content: the ASCII art, maps, branching stories, dialogue and RPG systems are designed by the team. SILENT TERMINAL does not generate content with AI in real time during play. All adventures are loaded from pre authored files.
