This is a really nice idea! I played it a little bit and found one thing that can be confusing (at least for experienced Bash users): The use of <> as quotes. For instance:

   You can use the < head -n 1 > spell to take a peek at what a file holds

Nice, reminds me of https://github.com/veltman/clmystery which was very fun when I played it (~10 years ago)

This is great. At some point in time I realized how much I was using the terminal and spending a bit of time to learn the basics is a great investment of time. I used a similar rouge-like to learn (this one I think: https://gitlab.com/slackermedia/bashcrawl), and it really did help to nail in the basics. Would definitely recommend spending the time on one of these games for anyone who wants to learn.

I love this ;) If you do add TUI graphics please consider adding a switch to not use them, ascii art is majorly annoying with a screen reader :)

I’m reminded of that movie Hackers where the kid has to solve a 3D maze to authenticate with some remote computer lol

Is this more about learning bash or about learning UNIX utilities?

I need more of the latter then the former.

I hope someone makes a video of this game.

So is ag "cheating"...?

Is there a dengeon option?

Please add a screenshot of what it looks like. I am assuming the only picture you have on the page is not how game looks.
