I've played A dark room, and Zork. I'm looking something more like the first one, text-based but able to push some buttons to do things rater than do everything with commands. I've thinking in Dwarf Fortress, but it's too colorish, like Brogue, which I do like a lot.

Do anyone have some recommendations? Thank you.

Mentioned this in a thread, but will comment at a top-level:

ProsperousUniverse.com - You’ll end up wanting to use spreadsheets for the game. It’s EVE Online production/trading without the combat.

It’s a very slow paced game so don’t go into it expecting a current-era gaming experience. And yes, super viable to play the game without paying anything for at least 9months.

This sounds quite interesting! I'm playing already some of the games that people have mentioned.
