About the Game

You signed up for a simple job - pull some weeds, make a little cash. Instead, you got bitten by a werewolf, tricked by an old woman, and thrown into a maze of crypts, curses, and questionable life choices.

Now you have two hours to undo your fate before you sprout fur and start howling at the moon.

A Light-hearted Horror Adventure

The Curse of the Howling Woods is a 2D adventure game that blends classic horror tropes, witty dialogue, and cozy but chaotic gameplay. Navigate haunted woods, solve puzzles, dodge traps, and try not to get mugged by a pumpkin.

Features

-      Cozy Combat – Enemies? One hit and they’re gone. You? Well… hopefully, you’re lucky.

-      A Maze of Mayhem – Crypts, quicksand, rolling boulders—this forest wants you to fail.

-      A Cast of Oddballs – Befriend (or avoid) scam-artist Eudora, overly dramatic ghosts, and Tim the werewolf, who insists it was just business.

Survive the night, break the curse, and maybe - just maybe - get paid for your trouble.
