text-based games

Text-based games are interactive stories where players influence the narrative through written commands or choices. Instead of graphics, the game presents descriptions of settings, characters, and situations, and players respond with text to navigate and make decisions. These games rely on imagination and language to create immersive experiences, often involving puzzles, storytelling, and problem-solving. They can be played via computer terminals, messaging apps, or other text interfaces. Historically popular in early computer gaming, modern versions still thrive, appreciated for their storytelling depth and player-driven exploration.
