Terminal Depths

Control a submarine using a command terminal.
An intentionally vague and experimental experience with a well of text-commands, tools and strategies to methodically learn and master.

Shoot, scan, search and collect as you navigate your vessel through a series of dark, claustrophobic, increasingly confusing and perilous deep-sea caverns.

This game was made for the Alphabet Superset, a creativity challenge about making a new creative piece for each letter of the alphabet.

T is for 'terminal' (or maybe 'text'?)

To be honest, this game's development was dragging towards the end.
The main text-command system was completed in a week, but it required a lot of supporting mechanics to make it worth while. The true scope of the idea was hidden.

But I am proud of the result and happy with the lessons I learnt along the way.

Thanks for playing!
