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.
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.”
Unfortunately you have to be a product manager or similar for this game.
Practice enough and you can unlock that achievement!

I grew up playing a mud called discworldmud, it’s an entire multiplayer world that’s still really active and entirely text based and entirely free. You should check that out. Plus Tintin++ to connect from your terminal ;)
If you want to play the Discworld MUD, Quow’s Mushclient plugins are transformative and make it oh so much easier.
I could be wrong, but I think OP wants to connect from his terminal to avoid suspicion
terminal /esc is good. its a game where you try to exit out of a fake computer system.
also there are some BBS’s still online you can telnet to and play their games.
This might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but its worth giving a shot. A collection of TUI based games
I haven’t invested too much time into it, but you should try Pokete! It’s Pokemon, but with ASCII visuals on a terminal window :)

Whenever I see a Pepe, I think to myself, “there goes someone who doesn’t mind being confused for a racist.”
lmao, why do you think like that?
