Think you have what it takes to reveal the secrets hidden in the shadows of Atherton Manor?
Game Features:
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.

CURSE, developed and published by Stormlord Games LLC, is a narrative-focused paranormal investigation game that blends classic point-and-click adventure mechanics with elements of supernatural horror. Rather than relying heavily on action or survival mechanics, the game centers on exploring a haunted mansion, piecing together clues, and slowly uncovering the truth behind a mysterious curse that has plagued the property for generations. Designed with a deliberate pacing and investigative structure, CURSE attempts to recreate the experience of stepping into the role of a paranormal investigator confronting an environment filled with unsettling history and restless spirits. The story takes place in Atherton Manor, a large and aging mansion that has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted locations in its region. Over the course of more than a century, the estate has been linked to numerous unexplained deaths, disappearances, and paranormal sightings. These events have fueled rumors that the mansion is cursed, with spirits of former residents still haunting its halls. The player arrives at the manor to investigate these claims and attempt to uncover the source of the supernatu…

this game makes me realise why fully 3D point and click games dont exist, it is truly such a strange and frustrating experience having to interact with this world in a way that feels unnatural to the format it exists in, if they took the exact same game and allowed you to walk it would be significantly improved and not really lose anything - its not like you couldn't still take control away from the player for cutscenes and things
Maybe it's just me and or my PC, but the instructions read the UV Boost is supposed to dispel Mary and the UV Boost works when the Flashlight is on and you hold the right mouse button. I found the UV Boost worked maybe 5% of the time and so when I was attacked by Mary in the Dinning room I could not stop Mary; the UV Boost would not activate no matter how many times I held the right mouse button, except for 2x and it did absolutely nothing to Mary. So I cannot recommend this game with such a serious bug affecting my ability to move further on within the game. I also did not particularly care for the linear nature of the game and the inability to be mobile. The game is stationary in the sense that the game moves you, you don't move within the game. If someone can tell me I'm not using the UV Boost correctly and that is why I cannot stop Mary, please do, and I will revise my review.
This game is a classic. I play it at least once a year, I remember a few years ago for Halloween they put Haunted Mansion wallpaper on the walls and jack-o-lanterns everywhere. It seems more linear now than when I last played it, but a great plot and a bit of action involving your flashlight. All in all, a good game with good replay value. Rating: 7/10
