Hacknet

A terminal-based hacking game played entirely through text commands. You follow a trail left by a dead hacker and dig through networks, files and secrets to solve a mystery. There are no maps or cutscenes, just a command line, and the game teaches the commands as you go so beginners can follow along. Is it your kind of game?
