A broken ship. A frozen crew. A terminal prompt.
Project: Centurion is a narrative-driven, command-line adventure game built around real-world Linux skills. Players will learn and use Linux commands and systems knowledge to interact with the ship’s internal network, parse system logs, repair damaged services, and uncover what happened to the crew stuck in cryosleep—and whether escape is still possible.
