On The Run!
This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive

NEW: Linux support with curses! (Do note that it requires a very large terminal window; you may have to mess with your prompt to get it to fit)
The story is described in-game, but in short: You are an AI in a Shadowrun-style futuristic setting, trying to evade those who wish you destroyed.
Written in Python using only the stdlib and WConio.
Purely console based, Windows-only.
I was extremely happy with how the UI turned out - it captured that Movie Interface feel quite nicely. Much of the gameplay itself was coded in under 12 hours, and there's so much more I wish I could do, but I'm satisfied enough.

Notes:
- Please use the Windows Binary (Fixed) link!
The original submission would get completely wedged if you got purged from a node.
- Typing long command names can get tedious. However, once you've disambiguated a name to only have only matching command, it'll happily run it. For example, 'neighbors' can thus be shortened all the way down to 'n'.
Happy hacking!
