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.

I don’t think these are games that could be played at work

I don't get the requirements. Is it like, it can sit there, I read, do a couple of clicks between work tasks?. Or is it like they're is somebody watching over the shoulder and it must look like work.

OP definitely could have been clearer
