Overview

About this game

"Dark. Silent. Waiting."

This game is a text-based, turn-based strategy mini-game that runs entirely on the command line.

The player takes on the role of a hunter, exploring a mysterious cave and attempting to hunt down a terrifying man-eating creature known as the "Gurg."

In this game, understanding your surroundings through messages that appear after each action is the key to survival and victory.

The Cave:

  • The cave consists of several rooms, each assigned a unique number.

  • While the overall structure of the cave is fixed, the room numbers are randomly assigned in each playthrough.

  • In addition to the "Gurg," two "giant bats" lurk somewhere in the cave. Yes, two of them.

The Hunter:

  • Armed only with a bow and three arrows, the hunter bravely challenges the Gurg.

  • Victory is achieved by striking the Gurg with an arrow.

  • However, if the hunter is eaten by the Gurg, falls into a pit, or runs out of arrows, the game is over.

Play Time:

  • Each play session takes approximately 1 to 10 minutes.

Notes:

  • The introductory game guide can be skipped. For details, please check the “option” menu in-game.

  • The application relies on the user's command line environment.

  • There is no audio output.
