Text-based adventure games

Text-based adventure games are interactive stories where players navigate a virtual world by reading descriptive text and inputting commands, such as "go north" or "pick up key." The game responds with new descriptions based on the player's actions, creating a dynamic narrative. These games emphasize imagination, problem-solving, and storytelling, often featuring puzzles and branching storylines. They were popular in early computer gaming and continue to have a dedicated audience, offering immersive experiences without graphics, relying solely on text to depict environments and events.
