the game does not save, every time i quit i cannot load my previous saved game, the list in "Load" is empty5 found this helpful
Pretty good game with classic asian horror themes of cursed village and rituals. Environments generally look nice and the voice acting and soundtrack is good. Gameplay starts slow with puzzle solving and exploration, about halfway through game picks up the pace with some enemies chasing you. The puzzles are fairly creative and there is a decent variety. Length of the game is approximately 2 hours. What I disliked is the excessive use of jump scares, and that there is some jank and game design flaws. For example some items in the game are impossible to see if you run out of fuel for your lamp. Overall though the game is enjoyable, especially the later half of the game.4 found this helpful
River God: Enshrouded Current is an independent horror title that leans heavily into folklore, supernatural mystery, and atmospheric exploration rather than traditional survival mechanics. Developed and published by Screations, the game invites players into a forgotten riverside settlement where an ancient curse continues to haunt the remnants of a once-thriving community.

The story follows a young woman who finds herself drawn into a tragedy tied to a sinister priest and the forbidden rituals he performed in pursuit of power. As players navigate the abandoned village, they gradually uncover the fate of its inhabitants through environmental clues, ghostly encounters, and narrative fragments scattered throughout the world.

Just finished the game. Similar game to the bridge curse, i really enjoyed this and completed the story. Graphics are very dark and realistic. Great game1 found this helpful
Nice Asian Theme Indie horror game, was on sale for 2 and this was a very nice experience. Yes this feels like indie because lighting is hard to see with light, but there is a story to follow and puzzles. Also run away from enemies. I would say the sounds are not as atmospheric as i would like but 2 it was still a nice little horror game. Hope you get better and make more games.
