Tips & Manual

# Questline is a TUI — it runs entirely in your terminal.
# You navigate with the keyboard. There is no mouse support.
# This is a feature, not an oversight. The mouse breeds dependency.

$ questline     # launch the application

Tips from the Field

  • Complete Daily Adventures every day — they are small on purpose and their cumulative effect is not.
  • The streak counter tracks calendar days. Midnight is the cutoff. The Deadline Wraith is punctual even when you are not.
  • Journal entries in shared projects display your username. Write accordingly. The Chronicle is public to your fellowship.
  • Rituals are reusable tasks. Use them for recurring work — they grant XP every time and keep the system from becoming a monument to past productivity.
  • Milestone templates require minimum project age and activity. Creating and immediately completing them does not work. The system was tested.
  • Back up your data from the Sync screen. The Chronicle records everything — losing it is permanent and unironic.
  • The Lore Library unlocks content as you progress. Locked entries say "RECORD LOCKED." They mean it.
