COLLAPSE

Just run the executable for your platform and create an account.  This game is a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) where your only input is a text box at the bottom.  The "help" command will tell you what commands are available.  The objective is to collect enough qbits to repair the network connection and use it to escape before you get collapsed as the quantum computer burns from the inside out.  

You can interact with other players by using hacks to sabotage them, entangling with one other player and teleport to them, and  chatting with other players near you.

The map resets every 10 minutes,  and if you escape successfully your qbits and hacks are saved for the next map. 

Fullscreen the window for best results.

To run on Windows you will need to have an actual terminal emulator (I don't think the Windows 10 Powershell terminal will work but I haven't tested it).

To run on Mac you might have to give it the correct permissions chmod 755 collapse and then run it from the terminal.
