About This Game

From the young developer of Games such as "Overnight 2", "Buried Beneath" (Floating head game) and "Slender Adrift" comes a new experience.
This was made by a 15 year old.
“The Designer’s Curse”, a First Person Survival Horror Game inspired by the works of the most influential old school horror games, such as Amnesia and Penumbra, this game allows you to delve into the depths of Shaw Well Manor, finding your way through the castle reminding yourself of what you have created. With help of Original Soundtrack by Mikko Tarmia (Composer for Amnesia and Soma), this game really creates an atmosphere of fear and dread.

Explore the depths of this mansion knowing the fact that you are not alone, and you’re being hunted by the most terrifying beings, created by the protagonist himself.

Controls are listed in the games main menu and pause menu. Note, this game has no controller support, a mouse and keyboard is needed.

(IF YOU EXPERIENCE SCREEN TEARING, TURN ON VSYNC IN THE GAMES SETTINGS)

Note, this game does not have support for 21:9 ultrawide monitors. If you wish to play on such monitor, you must download the game from gamejolt.
