Learn Linux bash with Sudo Sanctuary (WIP)
You are janitor_temp — a nobody with a mop and a terminal login.
Your job? Clean up server logs. Keep your head down. Don't ask questions.
But the logs tell stories nobody wants told.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
SUDO SANCTUARY is a narrative-driven CLI adventure where every command you type is real Linux. No fake prompts. No hand-holding. You'll ls, grep, kill,
chmod, and sudo your way through 25 levels of escalating intrigue — from patching a broken SSH config to infiltrating rogue networks and defusing a dead man's switch.
TWO MENTORS. ONE CHOICE.
• GHOST — the enigmatic AI who recruited you. Loyal? Maybe.
• WZRD — a red-team hacker who offers you the skills GHOST won't. At a price.
Your sudo privileges aren't just a game mechanic — they're a narrative weapon. Granted, revoked, and restored as trust shifts between forces you don't fully understand.
FEATURES
• 40+ real Linux commands — ls, cd, cat, grep, kill, chmod, iptables, crontab, nano, netstat, and more
• Pipe support — chain commands like grep "ERROR" auth.log | wc -l
• Tab autocomplete, command history, clipboard — it feels like a real terminal
• 25 levels + final boss across 5 acts
• CRT scanlines, particle effects, screen shake, ASCII art
• Achievement system (23 unlockables)
• Save/load system
• Built-in command cookbook for beginners
• 3 tutorial modes: Guided → Hints → Expert
• 8 languages: EN / ES / KO / DE / FR / IT / JA / ZH
LEARN BY DOING
Every puzzle is a real sysadmin scenario. Kill rogue processes. Trace network intrusions. Set up firewall rules. Edit config files in nano. By the end, you won't just have finished a game — you'll have actual Linux skills.
No prior terminal experience needed. GHOST will teach you.

Human's comment: Above project was entirely made with Claude and Gemini agents. I wanted a game which can teach me basics of Linux commands, and I wanted to learn it in a fun way. Claude and Gemini did a great job so I am sharing it here.

Brilliant, but...
Whenever I finish Level 4, this is returned.
Great game though - very well executed, and looking forward to completing the rest.
Thanks for trying out and your comment. Will fix it soon!
Its been fixed!
