I'm guessing that this is just a hacking game? And I need to input a certain command in order to progress in the game?
If so, then I have no idea what codes I need to input. There's really no tutorial, or unless there is then I can't understand it.
I'd figure a help feature would be nice. However, I think just listing a huge amount of commands for the player to input would be a bit overwhelming and would be giving them too much to start with.
Thank you for the positive feedback. However like i said the project was started really late. I didn't have enough time to implement every detail i imagined. If it helps i can list the operable commands here :D
echo [anyting to echo] //nothing much to explain here
add [number1] [number2] //addition of 2 integers
sum [number1] [number2] [number3] ..... //addition of multiple integers (max 16 i think)
bind [0/1/2] [any string that is a valid command] //bind a command to right left and middle click
exit // terminate the game
set [system variable] [value] // setting a virtual system variable (only 1 exists yet: dialogLogging)
kill // kill player
restart //restart the game
standby //set terminal to standby
wlan:
wlan scan //scans all available wifi networks
wlan connect [SSID] [password] //connects to a desired network
wlan disconnect // disconnects from previously established network
wlan status //shows current connection details
wlan ipscan // scans all ip's on the network and shows a description of what they are
bruteit [SSID] //bruteforce script (has to be installed first)
lvf [ip address] // live feed viewing program (live video feed=lvf)
setplc [ip address] [deviceID] [type of value] [value] // sets a value in a plc within a network (controll any device :a/c, celldoor) (value types: bool or real)
listplc [ip address] //lists all devices connected to the plc
inst [package] //installs a package when connected to a network (only bruteit for now)
uninst [package] //uninstalls a package
hope that helps :)
A "help" command and being able to use up like in the terminal would make this game so much friendlier, but I really enjoyed it :) my first instinct was to use a lot of bash commands so maybe some easter eggs for people already familiar with the command line could be sorta fun. I unfortunately got sorta soft-locked somehow. I was watching the map after tapping into the cctv and then switched back to the terminal and suddenly I wasn't getting any helper dialog and just couldn't continue any further :/ nice idea and good job! I hope you get more people and some more ratings cuz this was a little hidden gem for me :)

thanks for the reply :D I might give it another shot!
I really have a soft spot for CLI games, so I liked this. I think I got to the end because I opened the cell door and the CLI said I opened it and should head west, but ouside of the CLI, the cell was still closed. Is that the end or did I miss some gameplay? If I did, I'll go back and play it again. The only criticism I can give is that some quality of life features, like pressing up to see past commands and a "help" command to see a list of other commands would benefit the game in a huge way. Being able to bind custom commands to the mouse buttons is kind of a genius move and if the game is updated and made longer, the mouse bindings would be so cool. Other than that, I really liked this game. I hope you continue to update it, because I want to play it tbh.
PS: [HINT]: Try writing a 1 instead of a 0 in the setplc command.
No, that was a bug. And i know exactly what you're talking about. The thing is that i developed that bug like 15 minutes before the deadline. :D
I started the project 6 days before the deadline, and i focused mostly on the tehnical stuff. To make the terminal pretty, since the terminal is mostly going to be open throughout the game. I'm thankful that someone at least appreciates my dedication. I've played your game also, i think it was made in GODOT? I started to feel the vibe from your game because it felt like the game has something more to it. Like the story was kind of touching. But something was wrong in the middle of it. Kept crashing in the part after collecting 8 candles. So i eventually gave up trying. That was in the middle of the night and my eyes were killing me from all the monochromeness.
If you'd like to collaborate with me in the Nigralbus project, you are more than welcome. The game has a great idea but definetely lacks art and story. My plans are to make a story where you meet a girl in a hacker chatroom and start taking orders, acquire better tools and software from her, but she remains anonymous until the end. But the prison would be only kind of a tutorial maybe? After that comes free roam with missions, where the missions come from her.
