Game's name will be "Retinal Ghost" and I think I found gameplay core feature.

Retinal Ghost is some sort of turn based platformer. As long as player don't move, nothing move, (rogue-like). Moves are fixed on the text mode grid so no real time skills are required, only good placement.

Running, jumping, falling or waiting make time pass but moves are limited and player must grab items to restore its energy.

Video of Retinal Ghost gameplay. On first screen, player try to find its way along three giants swords going up and down. On second screen player jumps across horizontally moving platforms to get trough a channel on the opposed wall. Last screen is player running through the narrow channel. Graphics are bitmap text mode based giving on overall chunky and glitchy look.
