Cursed Lands

Cursed Lands is an RPG about an Imperial expedition to investigate a spreading blight near the Castle of N'Mar. After the first expedition ends disastrously, the Empire regroups and plans a covert operation. You play as the Empire's Envoy, secretly serving the Grimoire Council, and assemble a small strike team to uncover what is happening in the castle and stop the evil within.

The expedition

A mysterious mist carrying the smell of undeath has spread across the plains around the Castle of N'Mar, advancing toward the Empire's borders. Karen the Amazon Queen and Apolimesho the Archwizard help you recruit people from across Aravorn. Dwarves, elves, amazons, desert nomads and river nagas can join the team.

Social encounters

The RPG includes a social talent system that lets you use enemies' personalities against them. You can bluff, intimidate, coerce or reason with foes to make them flee, negotiate a ceasefire, or exploit a foe's weakness after lulling them into a false sense of safety. Killing every enemy is not the only way to resolve encounters. A visual novel mode lets you follow the story without playing through the battles.

Romance options

Cursed Lands has four bisexual romance options: Nuala the desert nomad, Vaeril the fallen druid, and the nagas Sylrissa and Enok. Leena the amazon and Jasper the pirate are same-sex romance options. You can sleep with multiple love interests, with possible consequences; each love interest's ending also leads to two bonus scenes with pin-up CGs for the character you coupled with.
