Hah, thanks George :D
I wanted to push the gameplay further than I got, but learning Godot engine turned out to be challenge enough for the weekend.
I hadn't played around with Textmode art before, but I was really happy with the results. I was able to start with a basic text layout before spending a few hours adding details to the screen.
I did all the art in https://lvllvl.com. Exported from there then wrote a quick importer.
