Welcome to TextVerse. This game offers a large area to explore with a challenging system to master. You are a humble space farmer that comes into owning a space ship. Mining asteroids and buying energy, will you have enough money to pay off your spaceship mortgage? Or will you starve in space or get your ship re-poed by the Galactic Bank.

This is a text-based adventure RPG where you will explore space. It may seem overwhelming at first with how many locations and options there are. You may want to take notes on a piece of paper while you play and even bust out the grid paper and draw a map!

If you look at the top right of you screen, there is an option to switch the "Theme" to a black background. You are going to want to switch to that to save your eyes from strain and enjoy a more space themed background. Next to that is an option to "Save". You will want to click that often and before you close the game to take a break. You don't want to lose your progress do you? If you have the downloaded client version of this game you have the option to continue a save file. After you save and then re-open the game your progress will be saved, and you can continue at any time retaining your inventory and levels. Don't hit "Restart"! This will wipe your save file and all your progress! Be careful not to accidently press this!

Games are art. Art made with AI is lame and weird. All things made with AI lose all humanity and have an uncanny valley feeling that you can't shake. I used AI to make placeholder images, but on playtest I was disgusted with the images and myself for doing it. I quickly completed hand-drawn images for the entire game. I am no artist, so I'm sorry. Although it feels real now and human created. I wrote the story and code 100% myself. I tried using AI to ask questions about INKY, but it kept giving me bad advice or didn't even understand the coding language. If you ever want to code with this format go read a human made tutorial and watch a human made youtube video, trust me you will save a lot of time.

Anyways, hope you enjoy this game!
