Short description
ASCIIDENT is an open-world sci-fi game with a design completely made by text characters
About this game
STORY The story of the game is based on sci-fi novel "Frango Anomaly". The hero is a human clone who escaped from space pirates. The first location is asteroid FA-17, colonized a couple of millennia ago. The mining of crystals is still ongoing, but... right now crystals are dropping in price. If it weren't for the convenient location for the transshipment base, the asteroid would have been abandoned long ago. However, entire areas of the asteroid have already been abandoned. Life here moves at its own pace and by its own rules. STYLE Absolutely all the graphics in the game are made using the characters that could be typed on the keyboard.

You can move to another location at any time if you will have the necessary resources and skills. BOSSES AND NPC The game has a large number of neutral and hostile creatures. Neutral characters can provide information, upgrade skills, and craft items. Caution, some neutral characters can become hostile.

This is a device that can change the structure of brain neurons. Also, a person or other creature with the appropriate skill is needed. In the current version of the game, the following skills are available: Life force Inventory space Radiation resistance Holding breath Melee weaponry Thrown weaponry Plasma weaponry Piloting Hyperspace Navigation Hand-to-hand combat BUILT-IN GAMES The game world contains computer terminals with built-in games. Each game can bring the player an in-game currency. COLOR MODES AND FONT You can choose one of eight retro color modes in the game options: True Color, t…
