CMD: SCAN is a short atmospheric exploration game about navigating the deep ocean cave system using only a command line.

Gameplay: You are piloting a mini-submarine in a cave system. You don't have a joystick, you have a keyboard. Your goal is to find 10 objectives hidden in the ocean.

Key Features:

  • Terminal-Based Control: Type commands like MOVE or SCAN to interact with the world.
  • Sonar Mechanics: You only see what your sonar scans. The rest is pitch black.
  • Combat: Blast through rock walls using torpedoes (FIRE ^) to find new paths.

How to Play:

  1. Use MOVE to navigate (e.g., MOVE ^10 ).
  2. Destroy cave walls with torpedoes for optimal passage using FIRE.
  3. Watch your Energy levels.
  4. When you are close to a target, type SCAN to take a photo.
  5. Avoid collisions and explosions to keep your Hull intact.

Good luck, Operator.
