About the Game


Under the tutelage of old master Artephius and the fire spirit Ingotus, you must embark on a quest to free the fabled Cursewood from its eponymous curse.
Explore the forest and gather ingredients to craft an arsenal of unique potions. Survive the dangerous night, face fearsome bosses, and collect rare ingredients from the forests depths so you can break the spell that afflicts the Cursewood.


Time is always moving, turning a peaceful day into an harrowing night and back again. Sleep in your bed at the tent or by a campfire to progress time to the next sunrise or sunset.


Collect potion ingredients from the forest. Different things grow in different areas and the time of day is important too.


Use ingredients you have collected to brew potions. Use recipes to craft known potions or try your own ingredient combinations to see what you get.


Throw potions at your enemies from a distance or punch enemies out of your way. Potions can also help you evade or avoid combat altogether. But some enemies drop useful potion ingredients.


Explore the various different areas that make up the Cursewood. Use the potions you craft to open new paths.


Find health upgrades, better potion recipes and charms that can refill certain potions if they get low.
