I've played A dark room, and Zork. I'm looking something more like the first one, text-based but able to push some buttons to do things rater than do everything with commands. I've thinking in Dwarf Fortress, but it's too colorish, like Brogue, which I do like a lot.

Do anyone have some recommendations? Thank you.

You should look into MUDs, its been like 20 years since I played any, but there's probably a couple active ones still around

I played Medievia for most of the 90s. I had so much fun! It’s wild the breadth and depth that MUDs have thanks to not having graphics. MMOs can’t hold a candle to them, It’s like writing a novel vs producing a movie.
