27 itemsAbout the Game
Cursed Companions is a co-op horror game that responds to every word the players say. Every player is cursed with a forbidden word, like "Okay" or "I think". If anyone says it, the player takes damage.
When you say the right words, you can heal your friends or disarm traps.
"Mommy loves you... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... IT'S IN THE BOOK! IT'S IN THE BOOK!" - MichiMochievee
But when you say the wrong words (i.e. "Follow me!") you could wipe out your team.
Dungeons are randomly generated, every run is a brand-new experience.
Over twenty different monsters to encounter and "befriend".
The Foul Moth
"[The Foul Moth] kinda looks like a Labubu." - QuarterJade.
Watch your mouth! The Foul Moth punishes players who swear.
The Meatgrinder
Roast or get roasted! Shout "Who's your Daddy!" to send the Meatgrinder packing!
The Bride
Scare The Bride away! Bad pickup lines and awkward confessions are your best defense!
Team up and tackle a variety of co-op modes. Battle bosses in two standalone stages or dive into tougher dungeons in Challenge Mode. Push your limits in Endless Mode to see how long you can survive.
Monsters aren’t the real threat in Traitor Mode; your so-called friends are. It’s a chaotic social deduction mode where Traitors secretly sabotage the mission.
But don’t be too obvious as others can call an "Emergency Meeting" to vote you out!
Unlock unique skins as rewards for your greatest achievements! Kill bosses, survive brutal challenges, or simply get killed in unique circumstances.
“Oh that’s nice… I can be a knight!” - Foolish
Customize your home and let your friends see how cursed your taste really is!
