Moon-house Technician is a classic mainframe parser-based text adventure game, but it also kind of does its own thing. It's about living in a weird little place in the cosmos and falling into routines; a textual storyworld to be explored and savored.

You find yourself in the strange realm of the moon-house, the setting of Howard Pyle's 1895 fairytale The Garden Behind the Moon: A Real Story of the Moon-Angel. The moon-house offers a host of unique opportunities, including--

• making friends with legendary moon-house occupants
• moon window gazing into the cosmic beyond
• hanging out in your bunk
• getting lots of moon-house technician duties accomplished
• collecting exclusive ASCII art trading cards
• and more...

It's a cozy, slice-of-life experience for lovers of nineteenth-century science fiction.

Leave the game console open and find time here and there (a couple of minutes in-between dusting your shelves?) to fully experience the moon-house vibe. While the days sort of blend together here, you must immerse yourself in the strange subroutines and procedural rhetoric to experience it in its ethereal fullness.
