About the Game

CURSES - a narrative-driven game of emotions and potions.

CURSES is a hand drawn point-and-click game set in the 1990s where you play as Girl, an irreverent teenager caught in a web of troubles and dark feelings. Use magic like tarot cards, séances and terrible poetry to help her choose a path - curse everyone else or care for herself.

The narrative path is determined by the feelings players choose to explore, with ten (10) unique endings, and each journey sprinkled with magical mini-games to suit the mood.
