	A terminal game created as an escape room, in which you have to find a way out of a server room in which you, and sleeping server (chopchop), are located in. You navigate only using the terminal command 'cat', which is normally used to print out the content of a file. In this game, files are comprised of ASCII art that builds each wall of the room you're trying to escape out of. Instead of typing cat, you use the alias for 'look' for it (typing look left, look right, look up...). With each each look you are given breadcrumbs, clues of what you can do to not only free yourself, but wake up a sleeping server from it's 'undesirable' slumber.

+There was not as much shunning of queer people as I had initially believed there to be. But there was a continual amnesia in regard to queer people ever existing in the region. Miloje Avramović, a trans/intersex man is one such example, he transitioned medically in 1937, yet all the way in the 70s trans people were labelled and called ‘the first of their kind.’ Reading Ariella Azoulay’s Unlearning Imperialism and familiarizing myself with ‘imperialism’s pursuit of the new,’  I saw a parallel between claiming new land and labelling people as new in order to sever our relationships with past knowledges. This act I called an imperial prescription.
