About Quintus and the Formidable Curse
‘Quintus and the Formidable Curse’ is a Horror-Adventure game with a difference; the protagonists are a Man and Mouse duo!
Following on from ‘Quintus and the Absent Truth’, which was released on PC and all last and current gen consoles in 2022, our unlikely team are ready to take on a new adventure, which promises to be larger and far more dangerous than this couplings first outing.
The plot picks up right after the events of the original game, throwing Alan and Quintus into an adventure that only a Man/Mouse duo could overcome.
'Quintus and the Formidable Curse' brings back the original mechanic of being able to solve puzzles as our small mouse friend, however this mechanic has been reimagined from the ground… down.
Many puzzles throughout the game require our player to jump to being tiny, whether it to be to squeeze through a gap in a machine to replace some loose screws, or being small enough to fit through some wall trunking to reach an electricity box to get the power back on.
In the original game these were introduced as separate levels or scenes within the game, in QATFC this mechanic is now fully scripted, allowing the player to change to being Quintus when they deem necessary.
Quintus isn’t the only mouse in town anymore, sewn into the plot, Alan and Quintus now have 2 additional mouse friends to help on their travels.
But these mice aren’t just their to keep you company, each new mouse is connected with a natural element which can be used for various puzzles throughout the game.
Our electric mouse can help with powering up equipment and our fire mouse can really light up a room.
Each mouse and their abilities are vital to Alan and Quintus’s journey.
With bigger dangers ahead in this adventure, make it necessary for Alan to fight his way through some areas. Clutching to any item he can get his hands on, enemies may be lurking around any corner, and Alan must be prepared.
Combat mainly consists of swinging a bat or pipe, but in later areas Alan can also ask for help from some of his mouse friends. The fire mouse can burn them and the electric mouse can electrify the enemies, making battles not only more entertaining to play, but easier to manage.
To get to each area of the game Alan must drive his trusty rental van, this gives an opportunity for the player to take control of a new element of this sequel.
Taking place on a large top down map, players can drive to each destination in this this fictional region of Washington State, named Cificap County.

Broken progress that makes the game unplayable in the first few minutes is not a good sign. Although the game continues from the first title, you are not required to know the entire story. The plot revolves around a man who uses a magic book to bring a mouse toy to life. When one of these spells backfires and spreads to other things, the man must find a way to reverse the spell. Graphics are passable, but the colors aren't spectacular because the game only has a limited color palette. Although some things have a more distinct color to make them easier to spot, the game does not stand out. Regardless of your graphics settings, the game plays relatively well and is optimized. One major issue is the lack of subtitles. The voices are fine, but you may lose out on important information because you are unable to understand everything. Sometimes there is voice overlap because you triggered the next line or a cutscene. Because you cannot skip cutscenes, this can become really frustrating. This is an adventure game in which you must look for items and engage in light combat. The controls are similar to those in any first-person game, with movement, jumping, and crunching. Combat is sim…4 found this helpful
I liked it, but man it's jank. one section requires you to rat platform, but for some reason the hitboxes are like 1:1 with the objects, and anything not parallel to the floor is slippery for some reason. as the game goes on, they just enemy spam you and your damage aint ever amazing, so combat isn't much to write home about. any non-boss enemy is just a mindless chaser, except one boss, who is just a guy who chases you mindlessly. they name the mouse 5, then give you a mouse named 1, but there's only 3 rats. 2 and 4 are missing, but there's enough levels that there could have been 2 additional rats with other mechanics or something. you only get 1 puzzle object with the electric rat, you have an inventory, but it doesnt matter, to solve a code puzzle, you have to just find the street number of the building, cause there's no notes nearby, just a weak password, idk, there's a bunch of odd choices made for this game. sometimes things would break and I would have to reload, but I managed to get through the whole thing.3 found this helpful
