About the Game

“Across a myriad different ’braneverse versions of Earth, I have seen Humanity arise, conquer adversity and flourish time after time, only to fail and fall, time after time, wiped out as often as not by its own misguided hand.

What would you do, what would you give, to stop that final stage, to step in and catch Humanity as it falls? What would you become?

Make a difference! Join the Curator Corps today!”

.curator — a brand new dynamic adventure game, written by the creator of Altered Carbon, Richard K Morgan, and brought to life by a seasoned international team under the banner of STRTL Games. Hand-drawn characters and environments, innovative and original gameplay design, a compelling journey to influence and modify the future in a world that responds to the choices you make. .curator is released as an episodic series — purchasing the game grants access to Episode One, with future episodes arriving as separate DLC.

  • Explore a familiar yet uniquely different post-Victorian world to understand and learn its power dynamics

  • Investigate the relics and ruins of a mysterious ancient alien civilisation in this world's past, and make them safe for human hands — if you can!

  • Discover the corruption at the heart of the regime and face it down.

  • Wield the awe-inspiring technologies of Quantum Sleet modelling to subtly shift events in favour of safer, more humane outcomes and a better future for all

  • Upgrade your physical and mental capabilities with neural overclock, taking your mind and body beyond its previous limits

  • Use stealth to slip unperceived into the corridors of power and back streets of history to work your changes and then leave as if you were never there

  • Bend the Quantum Sleet technology to your will to deal with unexpected random factors and emergency situations

  • Fight, hide, distract, or charm — it's your choice

  • Get to know your very own onboard AI assistant, C.R.I.S.S.I., consult her on your decisions, take her advice — or don't.

  • Make irrevocable, life-and-death decisions as you carry out your mission, and see the impact of your choices play out in the future you have crafted

  • Deal with the trauma of your past mistakes and crimes as a curator, as you try to find your way to some kind of redemption and hope for a better tomorrow

It is no easy thing to be a Curator. Will you be equal to the challenge? Only time will tell.
