THE SPINDLE — WORLD GUIDE ← BACK TO THE TERMINAL

THE SPINDLE

the shared universe under the Terminal's text adventures — free to build in

Every game in the library is a self-contained story. None of them are truly separate worlds. This guide opens the shared mythology — the wanderer, the phrase, the feather, the number, the door — so you can build your own text adventure inside it: your genre, your era, your game, one more room of the house.

SPOILER WARNING — this document explains threads the games deliberately never explain. If you'd rather feel the floor tilt on your own, go play first.
