About the game

A closer look.

CURSE is a point-and-click horror game that throws the player into the world of paranormal investigations. Investigate the infamous Atherton Manor, the site of several deaths and disappearances over the last 100 years. Your mission is to purge the Manor of its occupants and to get out in one piece. Think you have what it takes to reveal the secrets hidden in the shadows of Atherton Manor? Game Features: Story-Driven gameplay: CURSE features a deep story, filled with rich characters and more than a few twists and turns. Icon Driven point and click gameplay within a 3D world: The Player navigates within the environment by clicking on interactive Icons. The player can also look around the environment in an immersive 3D setting. Ghost Chase: The denizens of Atherton Manor don't take kindly to visitors and will attack you if provoked. Use the ultraviolet feature on your flashlight to damage the ghosts when they attack. UV Flashlight: You are equipped with a high-tech flashlight capable of disintegrating entities that would do you harm - also use your flashlight to peer into the mansion's shadowy corners, hallways, and rooms. What to Expect: CURSE is a narrative-focused experience. Expect to read lots of notes and dialogue. This game is intended for those who enjoy a fun, spooky, tale that provides a more 'on rails' experience. Linear Gameplay: CURSE is a linear experience with some light branching that gives players some determination of events. The game is linear at a high level to tell a cohesive story. Ghost Chase: The ghost chase feature is tense. It's supposed to be tense. The ghosts will arrive at random points within the Manor to attack you. Did we mention that the lights go out when they attack? Point and Click Navigation: CURSE does NOT allow free movement. We intend to create an experience more like a theme park ride where we control aspects of what you see and don't see. If you give in to this type of storytelling, you should have a rollicking good time. If you prefer actively moving through the game space, CURSE may not be for you. Jump Scares: Although the game does not rely on jump scares to entertain the player, it does include more than a few. Horror Elements: The horror of CURSE is geared towards a PG-13 vibe than R or MA ratings. We strive for atmosphere over gore and graphic violence. However, there are adult themes and blood within the game. Sound Good? If the above descriptions interest you, then welcome to Atherton Manor! CURSE provides 2-4 hours of gameplay in most cases. To collect all the achievements, you must play it a few times to experience the branching elements and optional difficulty settings.
