About the Game

"... Our universe is coming to an end... 

Come, let us toast to the little time we have left..."

Re:Curse is a narrative-driven time-travel mystery visual novel that weaves together themes of grief, human connection, found-family, and hope in dark times. 

Play as Allison, a young woman struggling to find a glimmer of hope amidst the monotony and chaos of her life. 

Rediscover yourself, reignite your long-lost passions, and forge bonds with a cast of characters, each carrying their own burdens... and even darker secrets.

When tragedy strikes... Will you risk everything to save those who once reached out to you? Or will you turn a blind eye to it all?

To Allison, life is just an endless cycle of exhaustion with no escape route– wake up, study, work, do chores, sleep, rinse and repeat.

But sometimes she can't help but wonder...

Is that really all there is to life?

Soon, Allison stumbles upon a group of people who may be just as lonely as she is, and little by little, their encounter returns colour to her world...
