I made a retro CLI horror game in Pure Python 3 (no dependencies, JSON-driven story engine)
Hey guys.
I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on: Sglsung Archive: Revamped. It’s a text-based psychological horror thriller that runs right in your system terminal.
It’s built with pure Python, using only standard library modules. You don’t need to install anything else like pip, pygame, ncurses, or any other third-party packages. It just runs with plain Python wherever you have it.
It also has features for custom content and modding. One .json file with all story and you can change it. Add your ASCII art to /art folder and enjoy. This means people can create their own stories without needing to change the Python code itself.
it available on two different languages, English and Russian.
And it works on different terminals. It’s fully compatible with Linux terminals and also Windows Terminal and CMD. I’ve included .sh and .cmd files to help you launch it easily on each platform.
You can grab the build and source files on itch.io:
