"A survival horror set in the nineteenth century, Curse plunges you into a nightmarish world of stomach-churning terror and nail-biting suspense.
The Eye Of Isis is a priceless statuette, and an unscrupulous thief has been unable to resist the temptation to steal it, leaving you, Darien Dane, engineer and expert in Victorian technology, to deal with the problem. This is no ordinary statue. Its disturbance has awakened an ancient supernatural force of immense evil : The Curse. Madness and violent death are the effects caused by contact with the statuette. And that’s not to mention the gruesome mummified dead that the Curse can raise to exact its lethal revenge.
Curse is a game that will take you from grim Victorian London, to the inside of an ancient Egyptian pyramid. And everywhere in between. On the way, the very objects around you will make attempts on your life, and only you, with help from your friend and cohort Verity Sutton, the beautiful clairvoyant, can return the statuette and stop the evil. But not all of humanity welcomes your intervention. Ruthless henchmen, led by the vicious Mullins, have their own plans for the statuette and are a dangerous complication in an already highly perilous mission.
Hordes of living dead inhabit the game, all reanimated in horrific ways by the awesome power of the Curse, and their hideous monster masters are screaming for their chance to destroy you. And, if these foes aren’t enough to deter you, the Curse itself has a surprise in store...
Real-time animated cut-scenes, stunning visuals and highly intuitive game-play are used to make Curse more than real for anyone brave enough to take on the challenge.
Are you ready to take on the Curse? "
