You are a night-shift operator at DataSys Corporation. Your job is simple: run diagnostics, check logs, maintain the system.

But Terminal-07 has been acting strange lately. Files that shouldn't exist. Messages meant for someone else. A presence in the machine that watches, learns, and waits.

RUNLEVEL ZERO is an interactive fiction horror experience played entirely through a command-line interface. Type real UNIX commands. Explore a haunted filesystem. Uncover what happened to the operator before you.

Features

  • Authentic 1993 terminal simulation with working UNIX commands
  • Psychological horror that builds through discovery, not jump scares
  • Multiple endings based on your choices
  • Hidden files, secret commands, and mysteries to uncover
  • ~2-3 hours to complete, with secrets for those who dig deeper

Content Warning

Themes of identity, isolation, and psychological manipulation. No graphic violence or gore.
