Many of the games profiled seems narrative based games. Are there many text based games, that are not about narratives, like simulation or wordgame type text based games?

- CBarkleyU 3y agoYou bet'cha, but that depends on your definition of "text games" --- no, even your definition of "text". Is a game that uses ASCII art text based? There a whole universe of "text games" (literally, games consisting of text only) and in that universe there is a galaxy of "text adventure/interactive fiction" type games. For me personally, the latter are games that are predominantly defined by being parser based games; think "go north" type games. The Nordland trilogy (not even sure if it was ever translated to English) is a parser based role playing game; Oregon Trail is a choice based simulation game, Empire Wargame is an ASCII based strategy game, and so on and so forth. And there are still text based games of all coleur being released today.
- coldtea 3y agoYes, tons of them. Command line "hangman" games being one very old and common example of "language/word" game. There are also text based RPGs and space exploration games, and so on. But this is about text "adventure" games.
- dekervin 3y agoI am hacking with others on a game that is part simulation, part narrative. It sets in the music industry. Here is the link. I would love some feedback while we are ironing it out. https://quantico.alwaysdata.net/static/game_text/game/index___iframe.html?lang=en https://quantico.alwaysdata.net/static/game_text/game/index_... Ps: not mobile friendly yet and there are english errors to be corrected.
