Our take on #!/bin/bash
The command-based design makes typing part of the game’s central interaction, but gives up the immediacy of conventional controls. ASCII graphics likewise limit the visual presentation to a deliberately text-based style.
What is #!/bin/bash?
#!
/bin/bash is an adventure game set in a huge cave reached through a well. Players control the character with Linux terminal commands, using intentionally awkward input during exploration and combat. The cave contains monsters, loot, environmental puzzles, ASCII art, hidden Easter eggs, and possibly cake. The game presents its setting and interactions through a command-based control scheme and ASCII graphics.
