Curse

Curse is a point-and-click horror game about paranormal investigations. You enter Atherton Manor, where deaths and disappearances have occurred over the last 100 years, to purge it of its occupants and escape. The story features characters, twists and turns, and is told through dialogue and notes.

Explore Atherton Manor

You navigate the 3D environment by clicking interactive icons rather than moving freely. You can look around the manor, including its shadowy corners, hallways and rooms. The story follows a largely linear path, with light branching that lets you influence some events.

Face the ghosts

The manor’s ghosts may attack if provoked, appearing at random points; the lights go out when they attack. Use the ultraviolet feature on your high-tech flashlight to damage or disintegrate entities that threaten you. The game includes jump scares and focuses on atmosphere over gore and graphic violence, though it contains adult themes and blood.

Story and playtime

A playthrough typically takes 2–4 hours. The game has optional difficulty settings and branching elements, so you need to play it a few times to experience those branches and collect all the achievements.
