The Shopkeeper's Quest is an adventure game with a curses-based TUI. The game takes you through a cursed (pun intended) world, guided by the advice of a mysterious shopkeeper and his quest for you to acquire three legendary items. You explore this world with the keyboard, mainly the arrow keys - as any traditional curses TUI provides. The game is developed in Python using curses, with a custom 'SHM Engine' 1.2, enabling an open modding API.
The Shopkeeper's Quest is licensed MIT.
