A short psychological horror game, where you attempt to gain root access into an unethical superstructure.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Honestly, the hardest part was trying NOT to hit Tab every single time I went to autocomplete something. 10/10
For just $3, you get to spend an hour in the shoes of a version of Elliot Alderson who finds the concept of sexual intercourse foreign, but fails miserably to find hair on his scalp (we shall all be there eventually, dear reader). The balance could have been tipped from chatting toward actually using the terminal, but overall, this may be Mike Klubnika's best production to date. Play Tartarus Engine first if you want to understand the lore better. It's included in the Unsorted Horror anthology.
awesome game. the command line isn't super complicated to work with, definitely not a blocker for anyone who isn't familiar with using terminals. my only real complaints are all terminal nerd crap: 1. the game is kinda short, puzzles don't really make involved use of the shell commands 2. more involved terminal syntax doesn't work (ls can't take arguments, cd can't take absolute paths, etc) 3. the shell's line editor doesn't have gnu readline keybindings so editing commands is kind of a pain 4. the text editor is gnu nano and not vim
