# ARLEM - Text-Based Adventure Game

## Description  

**ARLEM** is a terminal-based adventure game (***currently under development***) set in a surreal world of magic and cryptic challenges. You play as an unnamed protagonist trapped in Arlem, guided (or hindered) by 08, an AI with a penchant for sarcasm. To escape, you must:  

- Solve Prem’s devious quizzes in rooms like *The Corridor of Shadows* and *The Chamber of Echoes*.  

- Navigate timed dialogues and terminal "system effects" (e.g., simulated shutdowns) for immersion.  

- Uncover hidden passages and piece together the mystery of Arlem.  

Built in **C++** with a modular design, each room (e.g., `room1.cpp`, `room2.cpp`) is a self-contained challenge, making it easy to expand the game. No external libraries are used—just raw terminal magic.  

**Note**: This project is actively evolving! Planned features include:  

- More rooms with branching storylines  

- Save/load functionality  

- ASCII art for key scenes  

- Expanded character interactions  

Feedback and contributions are always welcomed!  

##  Features

- Multiple interactive rooms with unique challenges

- Dialogues with in-game characters (08 and Prem)

- Quiz-based puzzles

- Terminal-based text animations and delays

- System simulation effects (e.g., "shutting down" sequences)

##  Requirements

- Git >= **2.19.0** 

- a [Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) **_(optional)_**

- a **C++** compiler for `Compliling`**_(I used GCC)_** Visit [C++ Compilers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:C%2B%2B_compilers) for more info.

## Getting Started

 - Clone the repository:

  ```bash

   git clone https://github.com/lordxexsteros/Arlem.git

   cd Arlem

   ```

## Run The Game

 - Without Compiling  

    ```bash

    ./Arlem

    ```

 - With Compiling  

   ```bash

    g++ -g Game/*.cpp Game/Rooms/*.cpp Game/Intro/*.cpp Game/Sets/*.cpp -o Arelm

    ./Arlem

   ```
