How to get started with a horror command prompt / terminal game?

Question

Basically, I want to create something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbjN8pRxARw but I don't know where to start. Any code for the initial commands or some help with the guy would be much appreciated.

I have found this: https://github.com/stillwwater/command_terminal/tree/master/CommandTerminal which I like and can now add my own commands to however the scripts are relatively complex so I am having a hard time editing it to my needs. First of all, I want the terminal to be full screen at the beginning and I want to have a way of adding text to the console at the beginning.

This looks like a good starting point. You're looking for a command console.

@EmanuelPop I've found a bunch of things however they all seem to be for testing or debugging, however I want to make $$anonymous$$e into a game...

It's the same principle. $$anonymous$$aybe you want to start with more general learning then, there are dozens of resources for Unity.

The game you want to make has 3 main components you need to implement:

Display text to the user in a C$$anonymous$$D style.
Store the user's input.
Interpret the user's commands and execute actions based on what he typed.

All 3 are shown in the video above. Beyond this you need to use your imagination.
