SILENT TERMINAL is a dark-fantasy RPG that lives entirely inside your terminal.

No textures. No shaders. No cinematic noise — just ASCII, deep RPG systems,

branching stories, and your imagination against the dark.

Explore ASCII ruins, fight tactical turn-based battles, talk your way past

(or into) trouble, craft and grow your character, and make choices a persistent

world quietly remembers.

Five handcrafted adventures. More than 15 hours of main story, over 30 to see

everything — and an Adventure Editor to build your own.

A WORLD THAT REMEMBERS

──────────────────────────────────────────────

You are not the chosen hero.

You are a survivor in a ruined land of shadows, forgotten gods, broken kingdoms,

and buried secrets.

Every step can reveal a hidden passage, a half-erased inscription, a lethal

ambush — or a decision that rewrites the state of the world.

The terminal isn't just the interface. It's the world.

FIVE ADVENTURES, ONE TERMINAL

──────────────────────────────────────────────

▸ THE ESCAPE

A storm breaks the lock of your cell in the prison of Aethelgard. Learn to

move, fight and choose as you escape — then march on the General Tyrant's

Black Fortress. Your past decides how it ends.

▸ ARCANUM TRINO

Three mages held the world together with a pact, and someone broke it.

Serve Atherion, Selene or Morgrath — or rebel against all three — and find

out who was pulling the strings. Six endings, one of them secret.

▸ THE MONARCH'S GARDEN

The king is dying and you are the gardener nobody looks at. Before dawn you

will decide who inherits the crown: the prince, the duke, the ambassador...

or no one.

▸ ECHOES OF THE VOID

The epic. Twelve biomes, twelve Void Lords and hundreds of rumours to

uncover. Recover the shards of the seven Echoes and seal the Gate.

▸ DEADLINK

Trace a ghost through a dead datacenter you roam freely: a tragic rogue AI,

open sectors, a mid-game twist and a multi-phase final boss.

Every adventure has multiple endings, and the in-game tracker shows which ones

you have already found.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

──────────────────────────────────────────────

▸ EXPLORE ASCII DUNGEONS & RUINED LANDS

Roam a world map and tile-based zones, trip hidden triggers and traps, search

the environment, and piece the lore together through atmospheric text events.

▸ FIGHT TACTICAL TURN-BASED BATTLES

Enemies rendered in handcrafted ASCII telegraph their next move. Juggle HP

and mana, attack, defend, exploit weaknesses, status effects and crits, and

unleash SYSTEM SURGE when the meter is full. Bosses fight back in phases.

▸ MAKE CHOICES THAT STICK

Dialogue, quests, factions and events branch on what you do. Risky options

call for stat checks — Strength, Willpower, Focus — that can go wrong.

NPCs remember. Some consequences follow you for the rest of the campaign.

▸ BUILD A CHARACTER THAT'S YOURS

Choose Warrior, Mage or Rogue, level up, shape your stats, equip gear, and

pick a new power every level from more than 350 abilities.

▸ LOOT, CRAFT & EXPERIMENT

Hundreds of items across multiple rarities drop from enemies and bosses.

Forge equipment, brew potions in the Alchemy lab, and unlock new power

through Research.

▸ LIVE WITH A PERSISTENT WORLD

The WorldState system tracks what you unlock, destroy, seal, discover or

abandon — and lets it ripple across the campaign.

BUILD & SHARE YOUR OWN WORLDS

──────────────────────────────────────────────

SILENT TERMINAL ships with a built-in Adventure Editor. Design maps, enemies,

NPCs, quests, dialogue, branching choices, events and world-state changes —

then play them, expand them, and share them with other players online

(free Bare Metal Xtreme account).

One terminal. Endless adventures.
──────────────────────────────────────────────

lost battle) and NIGHTMARE (brutal enemies, no second chances)

──────────────────────────────────────────────

FOR PLAYERS WHO LOVE

──────────────────────────────────────────────

▸ Classic computer RPGs (CRPGs)

▸ ASCII and terminal-based games

▸ Dungeon crawlers and turn-based combat

▸ Interactive fiction and gamebooks

▸ Choice-driven stories with multiple endings

▸ Deep systems over shiny graphics

──────────────────────────────────────────────

WHY ASCII?

──────────────────────────────────────────────

Because imagination was always the best graphics engine.

SILENT TERMINAL uses ASCII not as a limitation, but as a style — a way to make

you read, think, imagine, and step inside the world.

No visual noise. No microtransactions. No filler.

Just the story, the numbers, the choices, and your wits against the terminal.
