About The Stoevi Curse

The Stoevi Curse is a chilling first-person survival horror game set in rural post-Communist Bulgaria, where you must protect your farm and save your family from a nightmarish creature.

You are Dimo Stoev, a single father determined to protect his farm and rescue his children from the creature that terrorizes the land after nightfall. Drawing from Bulgarian folklore, The Stoevi Curse immerses players in a chilling tale of survival and family.

RESOURCE AND TIME MANAGEMENT


Strategically manage your scarce resources and beat the clock to return home before the sun sets, when the Bulgarian bogeyman comes out to hunt.

STEALTH AND EVASION

Stay low and quiet as you navigate your farm, avoiding the sinister creature that lurks in the shadows, ready to strike when you least expect it.

SURVIVAL AND FAMILY

Withstand the relentless nightmare plaguing your land each day, and summon the strength to save your family from the clutches of the dreadful Stoevi Curse.
The Stoevi Curse was created as part of CTWR 410: Game Narrative Workshop by developers Colin Spiridonov, Austin Fuad, Tian Yang, M. Mo, Simon Burdick, Max Hall, and Anthony Sabatino.

[h1] Pixelated horror game where you are a farmer. Plant seeds and ripe tomatoes. After completing each day you can buy more seeds or soil, in the meantime something is lurking in the dark... make sure to stay hidden well. Story is intriguing. At least two endings. Visuals are your typical pixelated mumbo jumbo with 4:3 cropped screen. Music and sounds are great and will immerse you into gameplay without a doubt. Overall recommended if you like atmospheric horror stories. [/h1]

The music is good........................................................ the gameplay is super flat. You can VERY EASILY make it through the whole thing without getting caught lol. You dont have to go into the sunflower maze at all, which makes part of the map literally useless. Keep growing tomatoes and harvest one more then the previous day is the goal. make it 5 days and you get to keep playing endlessly kek. and the catch when he actually does get you is just a game over screen, no actual jump scares anywhere. I do like the pixelation though.
