About The Cursed Ritual
A horror FPS genre game about a man's survival in the night in an abandoned house in the forest.
Jacob, a young man with a penchant for adventure, finds himself driving alone down a winding road in the heart of an expansive, eerie forest. The air is thick with an ominous chill, and a sense of isolation looms as the towering trees seem to close in, casting long, ghostly shadows across the path. Suddenly, out of the darkness, an animal appears in the middle of the road. With barely any time to react, Jacob’s car swerves off the road and crashes, leaving him stranded and injured in the darkness, the metal crunching against the tree. Shaken but unhurt, he quickly tries to call for help, only to find that his phone has no signal. Trapped, he realizes he must venture out into the unknown to find shelter for the night. With no other choice, Jacob begins to walk deeper into the forest, his footsteps muffled by the damp leaves carpeting the ground. After what feels like hours of wandering, he finally spots a flicker of light through the dense trees. As he pushes forward, the outline of an old mansion emerges, cloaked in shadows and barely visible under the faint moonlight. The house appears abandoned yet unsettlingly intact, standing as a testament to another era. Trapped in the twisted reality of the house, Jacob must confront the spirits, unravel the secrets of the ritual, and survive until dawn. But as he delves deeper, he begins to wonder: did he find the house, or did the house find him?.

Played on Linux using Proton Exp, Key Collecting Simulator with game breaking Save Game bug, It's assets but the dev did at least edit the House Map to be different from it's original design, So Graphics/models are okay but you will have seen them before as again it's just assets (How many times do you need to see the same plate of meat balls), Sound is okay, Game play as i said is key collecting sim and some notes to read, that's pretty much all it is. Jump Scares so far have not worked for me as you just seem to know when it's going to happen. And it has a Save and Load Option after pressing 'ESC', I needed to do something so i saved the game, when i came back later to play and loaded my Save it put me in a different room from were i saved and also i was now locked in that room as i did not have the key to unlock this door, Strange thing is i had unlocked this door before i saved and had played about 5 minutes more since opening this room, The Ghost Lady was also just hanging about and doing nothing, So as I'm locked in this room i will have to start all over again and play from the start, to be on the safe side i will have to play from start to end without using saves.

This is a new Indian horror game made by a solo developer but the game is just a key collection horror simulator. You collect keys in whole game. Health system does not make sense and your camcorder is never out of battery. There are some good jump scare but mostly game focuses on key collection and opening door with decent story.2 found this helpful
The run speed is way too fast. Every note appears to be blank unless you hit the "read" key which I didn't realize until I needed a code for a safe. Played from start to finish in 18 minutes.
Laughable... that was the entire experience with this game. The notes you find are like someone writing a "spooky story" for fifth grade English. The environments were pretty for the most part... but there was so many "unfinished" or "out of place" items in the setting. Not to mention the character model for the antagonist REALLY looks out of place when you place them against the backdrop of the game itself (graphically different... so bad it's noticeable). The story has no depth... the character you cannot connect with... and the game itself is so underwhelming and short. I feel like this story that was trying to be told here... would've been received much better had it been told from the perspective of the antagonists "husband". With some good writing... just based off what I got reading through the English homework... that story would've resonated much better.
