Do anyone think a game can work without graphics at all ?
I'm thinking of a farming game, not with trucks and such lol..
Nono, gold farming game, where you buy slaves and such to mine different materials to sell em, and get gold ^^
without graphics means ASCII only?
Yea, only text based ^^
Well then yeah, it can work... there are tons of text-adventures and other funny text-based stuff from the beginning of computer gaming.
Hackrun is a pretty new game that uses text-only and it´s more than great fun

Yes, Text Only games can work very well <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">
There was this discussion recently https://www.scirra.com/forum/is-it-possible-to-make-a-game-like-a-dark-room-in-c2_t110615?
Yes, it could be done quite simply. I've never heard of A Dark Room before but I love text adventures! Playing A Dark Room now and it's quite fun, a bit different to traditional text adventures but not too much, just simplified. I'll have to try making one, might put up a tutorial as well when done.
On Construct 2, the "non-graphics" would actually be turned into sprites... which makes them graphics, right?
Well doesn't really matter, it's just text all over anyway ^^
It does matter, in the sense that it won't be actual text, but images of text. It's just not the same
But since you can't see it in the HTML5, then it isn't a problem xD
alvarop what is your definition of 'actual text'?

I guess it's because you can't mark the text and eventually copy it, because it will be converted to images. I don't know if it's correct, but seems correct ^^
