[Release] > Terminal - A "Prairie Futurist" Command-Line Horror - terminal-fiction - 01-09-2026
Hi everyone,
I'm a solo developer from Austin, Texas, and I wanted to share a project I've completed called > Terminal.
It's a technological horror interactive fiction game that takes place entirely within a command line interface. It follows a young woman isolated during a frozen Midwest winter. Her computer is taken over by an unknown entity with access to her deepest secrets, speaking to her through the terminal.
The genre is something I call "Prairie Futurism," blending themes of technological isolation and identity erasure with a pastoral, snowy setting.
The full game is releasing soon, but the free demo is available on Steam now if you want to try it.

I'd love to hear what you think of the atmosphere.
Thanks,
Dustin
