'Dark. Silent. Waiting.' This game is a text-based, turn-based strategy mini-game that runs entirely on the command line. The player takes on the role of a hunter, exploring a mysterious cave and attempting to hunt down a terrifying man-eating creature known as the 'Gurg.' In this game, understanding your surroundings through messages that appear after each action is the key to survival and victory. The Cave: The cave consists of several rooms, each assigned a unique number. While the overall structure of the cave is fixed, the room numbers are randomly assigned in each playthrough. In addition to the 'Gurg,' two 'giant bats' lurk somewhere in the cave. Yes, two of them. The Hunter: Armed only with a bow and three arrows, the hunter bravely challenges the Gurg. Victory is achieved by striking the Gurg with an arrow. However, if the hunter is eaten by the Gurg, falls into a pit, or runs out of arrows, the game is over. Play Time: Each play session takes approximately 1 to 10 minutes. Notes: The introductory game guide can be skipped. For details, please check the “option” menu in-game. The application relies on the user's command line environment. There is no audio output.
