This is still WIP, but if anyone is interested, we could develop it much faster and perhaps even with cooler features like TUI graphics etc ...
Right now it is all in plain ol bash

This is a really nice idea! I played it a little bit and found one thing that can be confusing (at least for experienced Bash users): The use of <> as quotes. For instance:
You can use the < head -n 1 > spell to take a peek at what a file holds
How about using a not-easily-typeable character pair like the guillemots?

This is great. At some point in time I realized how much I was using the terminal and spending a bit of time to learn the basics is a great investment of time. I used a similar rouge-like to learn (this one I think:
https://gitlab.com/slackermedia/bashcrawl), and it really did help to nail in the basics. Would definitely recommend spending the time on one of these games for anyone who wants to learn.

I love this ;) If you do add TUI graphics please consider adding a switch to not use them, ascii art is majorly annoying with a screen reader :)

I’m reminded of that movie Hackers where the kid has to solve a 3D maze to authenticate with some remote computer lol

Is this more about learning bash or about learning UNIX utilities?
I need more of the latter then the former.

Please add a screenshot of what it looks like. I am assuming the only picture you have on the page is not how game looks.
