About Cursed Lands

Recruit. Investigate. Infiltrate.

A mysterious mist has spread over the plains surrounding the Castle of N'Mar, and the mists carry with them the smell of undeath. The blight grows closer to the Empire's borders with every passing day, and they send an expedition to investigate—with disastrous results. The Empire's remaining forces regroup and devise an alternative plan, this time based on concealment and infiltration.

You assume the role of the Empire's Envoy, secretly serving the Grimoire Council. You must assemble a small strike team to investigate what is happening, and put a stop to whatever evil is lurking within the Castle of N'Mar.

With the help of Karen the Amazon Queen and Apolimesho the Archwizard, you'll need to recruit a team of individuals, united by a common goal, from all corners of Aravorn. Dwarves, elves, amazons, desert nomads, and river nagas can all be persuaded to join you.

The game plays like a RPG with an innovative social talent system that lets you take advantage of your enemies' personalities. You can bluff, intimidate, coerce, or reason with your foes to force them to flee. Negotiate a ceasefire to end things peacefully—or take advantage of your foes' weakness after you've lulled them into a false sense of safety. Killing all enemies is no the longer the only option at your disposal. The game also includes a "visual novel mode" for those who want to enjoy the story without playing through the battles.

Cursed Lands offers four bisexual romance options (Nuala the desert nomad, Vaeril the fallen druid, Sylrissa and Enok the nagas) and two same-sex romance options (Leena the amazon and Jasper the pirate).

For the first time in a Winter Wolves game, you can sleep with multiple love interests. Of course, be ready to face any possible consequences! Each love interest's ending leads to two more bonus scenes with "pin-up" CGs for the character you've coupled with.

They really needed a strong copyedit on this one. I want to support this dev, but the exposition was bloated and the typos were insane. Lost my marbles thirty minutes in and never recovered.

WA!~ WINTER WOLF NEVER DISAPPOINT!! This game has it all! The story is mature, refreshing, very thorough, very detail, and it's linked tightly with the story and some characters in Loren the Amazon princess. You have 2 endings where MC is killed or even worse, 2 routes romance for each LIs (the dark one is cool and quite moving too), 1 ending where you stay alone which is good though. All LIs are beautiful, lovely and unique and your choice can influence their perspective and what they'll give you after maxing their affection heart bar. However, I do believe the author should spend some more time writing side stories for Vaeril, Nuala, Jasper, so we can get more intimate with them as much as Enok and Sylrissa. In contrary, there are a lot of moments with Leena but it too serious and sometimes, it's quite plain... Side character are unique and cool, too. Every character has their own stories, their own personality. Not all are good, such as Kusho, whom is arrogant, stubborn and double standard... remind me of The season of the wolf where everyone has their darkside or some controversial characters Music and background are great!!!!! Better than Loren the amazon princess and Th…

A very well made and large game, particularly given the size of the dev team and quality of the work. There are some flaws in pacing and some imbalances in character power relative to each other as well as an unfortunate limit to the number of characters playable at a given time in action sequences but the game is confident, smooth and displays an attention to craft that is rare from large dev teams such as at major companies

This is a much better game than the last one I played from the same developers . The characters are interesting, their subplots are simple but compelling, and they have depth to them. It's not an un-fun game for about 65-70% of it. The other 30-35% suffers from the same issue as the other game from the same studio: There's literally just not enough content. Both games have a time-passing mechanic, but there are far too many time segments (days in this one, weeks in the other) where there's literally just nothing left to do before you hit the countdown for the next main story event. These guys need to learn to condense their stories so that you're not just hitting 'skip' over and over again once you've exhausted all the possible scenes in the act. Again, I enjoyed this game, but I'll probably not play another from this team because this has happened both times, very blatantly.

Amazing game, great VN, fantasy game. Great story, decent replay value for different paths, and interesting. Genuinely got invested in the story despite it being short. Wish the soundtrack was on Spotify and iTunes and stuff too, love the music

Too much filler, zero substance. Most of the game (story, combat, inventory) is filler. Even if it was free it would not be worth anyone's time. The only good things about the game are that you can view it as 'it's so bad it's funny,' and that the art is nice. Look at those zombies.
