Hey hunters! 👋 I built Terminal Quest a browser-based retro terminal mystery game where you explore a corrupted filesystem, solve puzzles, and uncover a story about a digital cat and a broken grid. What you'll do: Navigate a virtual filesystem with ls, cd, cat. Real terminal commands Befriend a digital cat (feed, pet, talk) to earn trust and fragments Repair 4 corrupted sectors, then choose your ending: restore rewrite (clean reboot) or restore preserve (glitches sealed in amber) Play minigames (play crash, play leak), decrypt ciphers (ROT, XOR, Base64, Vigenère), craft items, manage processes Unlock 6 prestige levels with permanent perks (auto-feed cat, free decoder, 2× process bits, storm immunity, 2× global bits) Built with: React, Vite, Tailwind Runs entirely in browser, progress saved to localStorage. Play free: https://terminal-quest.vercel.app (no install, no account) I'm actively developing this and open to ideas. What would you like to see next? More cipher types? Multiplayer? A level editor? Let me know in the comments. I read everything. Try it and tell me which ending you chose. 🐱💾
