About the Game

Cursed Frontier

A 2D platformer shooter where the Wild West meets dark horror.

Dive into Cursed Frontier, a somber journey through a desolate landscape, where the frontier is not just a physical place but a boundary between life, death, and something far worse.

You are an old herder, lost in an eternal night beneath the imposing glow of the Morning Star. As you progress, you'll face hordes of monsters and supernatural beasts while searching for answers: Where are you? What is the Morning Star? And how can you escape?

With a unique artistic style inspired by linoleum engravings, Cursed Frontier immerses you in a dark and fascinating world full of sharp contrasts between light and shadow.

  • Handcrafted Art: Each level and character is designed using digitized linoleum engravings, creating an unparalleled visual aesthetic.

  • Engaging Story: Discover the secrets of the Morning Star and the herder's fate in a tale that blends Wild West folklore with themes of redemption and horror.

  • Challenging Action: Face a variety of terrifying monsters using classic Wild West weapons and tools like whips, lanterns, and lassos.

  • Atmospheric Exploration: Explore desolate landscapes with hidden details.

  • Immersive Music and Sound: A melancholic soundtrack accompanies you on this dark journey.
