About the Game

Curses are a rising threat to society, and it falls to the recently established cursewardens to contain them. Forges freeze over, trains stop dead in their tracks, and people of the city lose life and limb to debilitating curses. A dangerous but lucrative profession, a cursewarden risks their life by drawing curses to themselves in order to keep them under control. As a new recruit, you must learn fast, adapt, and reject the whispers of curses if you are to survive.

Use what you must from the warden's arsenal of weapons, including melee weapons, new innovations like repeating pistols and rifles, or the foul magic of curses themselves. Some favor a more versatile style, while others go all in with just firearms or melee – fight as you see fit. Contain defeated curses in special curse stones so you can use them to enhance your skills for a more focused utility or damage role.

Key features

  • Fight an unending plague of curses with trusty weapons, firearms, and volatile spells

  • Encounter randomly generated curse levels and the wretches contained within

  • Use curse stones to modify any skill, adding effects like damage types, critical hits, knockback, buffs, and debuffs

  • Help the people of the city and unravel the enigma of curses
