Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“At this current state, we're confident you'll have fun with Cursed Companions! We have had some really funny laugh out loud moments. However, there are still a lot of content and features we want to add. We also need your feedback to help with game balance, phrases used to activate the spells, curses and so on. There is so much stuff more we want to add!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that game will be fully complete in 6 months. We want to ensure a great complete game. And it all depends the players' feedback too.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our plan for the full version of Cursed Companions is for it to have more monsters, more accursed lands, dungeon locales, more items and rooms so that there will be a lot more depth and replayability.

We plan to have a Team Mode - an 8v8 mode that we believe will provide more chaotic fun.
Another feature we plan to have is a Traitor Mode - an 'Among Us' style game mode where some players will secretly attempt to sabotage the others.

We plan to also add more support for more languages, so that other non-English speakers can play this game in their own language.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Cursed Companions is fully playable with up to 8 players in co-op mode. All the main game mechanics, voice mechanics and base content is complete. There are 3 main maps as of now, coupled with a procedurally generated dungeon, the current gameplay experience is varied and fun. Most monsters, items and facilities to upgrade are already in this current build.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We don't plan to change our price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We need the community to help with the game balance and content. As the game uses a Voice as a main mechanic, we believe that there are many monsters/items/features that can benefit from ideas from the community. We're watching content creators and looking at your reactions on Discord, Twitch and so on. We're looking forward to see new tactics and a meta emerge, they're great for inspiring new ideas for creatures and items to improve the game play and fun factor.”

About This Game

Cursed Companions is a co-op horror game where what you say can save or sabotage your team. The game is always listening — say the right words, and you can cast spells or disable traps and unlock rewards. Say the wrong words and you and your teammates will get hurt.

Explore the dungeons and seek Treasure for the Dark Queen. But beware, for these Treasures are cursed with forbidden words that will hurt you if they are spoken.

Bring the Treasures home for the Dark Queen, and you will gain her favor. But if you don’t collect enough Treasure… the consequences are dire. 

Remember, you must always meet the target!

Look out for loot along the way — selling them will allow you to buy equipment and upgrade your skills. And with enough gold, you and your companions can turn your humble hearth into a tasteful mansion!

Dungeons are procedurally generated, every run is a brand-new experience. The dungeons go deeper as the game progresses, so try not to get lost!

The Dark Queen assures you that all dungeon creatures are safe and cuddly. Just try not to aggravate them. From monsters that hunt by sound to ones that you have to shoo away by yelling, there’s always a way to survive your wildlife experience. 

Communication is key to Cursed Companions — what you say or don’t say to each other will determine the success or failure of your mission. And don’t forget, the real treasure was the friends we made along the way.

  • Speech Recognition

    The game is 'always listening', the game uses voice-activation game mechanics

  • Say the right words to get ahead

    Use your voice to light your torch, to disable traps or shoo monsters away.

  • Say the wrong words to your peril

    Your voice can awaken monsters, hurt you and even your teammates

  • Procedural Dungeons

    Every run is a brand new experience. The dungeons go deep, so try not to get lost!

  • Solo, Co-op or Versus Mode

    Up to 8 players for co-op mode, and an 8 vs 8 for teamplay mode. Play solo if you dare.

  • Upgrade and get better

    Exchange Loot for gold to buy equipment like the Teleport Stone, various potions and more. Doll up your house with furniture.

  • Scary wildlife

    Monsters guard that which you seek. Know their quirks, use stealth or your wits, or just sacrifice your teammates.

  • See how far you and your team can go

    There is no end. Keep playing on and on if you can. Once you die, you start over.

  • Language Mod Support

    Currently only supports English. But will provide easy instructions to add your own language using alternative language voice models.
