A complex adrift game allowing choice of abilities set in medieval times, July 23, 2017*

This is a large Adrift game, in which, after an extended prologue, you are cursed into a form of your choosing: rat, fox, or snake.

As an animal, it is your job to be restored to your original form and find your lost love, Princess Tevona.

Overall, this was done pretty well, but the Adrift parser was pretty frustrating (I used Adrift Runner 4.0).

Cursed is an epic fantasy story. It’s substantial, on the longer side of comp games, with several possible paths through the narrative.

News

Cursed v2 has been releasedFebruary 6, 2012

This version includes a brand new prologue (attempting to remove a lot of the criticism the original version received relating to the long, non-interactive intro, while at the same time reducing the amount of "telling" that is done elsewhere in the game.) I've made the castle escape sequence much more forgiving, I've fixed a lot of bugs and also cleaned things up a little bit in places.
