About This Game

Plot

After awakening in a mysterious clocktower, Chime must solve puzzles and answer riddles to find her way out of the labyrinthian dreamscape, floor by floor. The environment is familiar to her, but she's not quite sure why.

Unique Gameplay

Curse of the Countess features a unique blend of Sokoban (block pushing) mechanics, rhythmic projectile-shooting enemies, environmental puzzles and a moody, atmospheric story, all culminating into an experience unlike any other. Pensive, charming, and ponderous.

Doomsday Clock

Reminiscent of games like Majoras Mask, Curse of the Countess features a n anxiety-inducing counter that consistently ticks downward, driving the player forward and forcing concise decision-making in a world full of mystery.

Features

  • 6 Main floors to navigate, each with their own sets of obstacles

  • Environmental puzzles with hidden within the broader landscape

  • Hidden pathways and secrets

  • A variety of riddles and puzzles, ranging in complexity

  • Engaging boss fights that test the players understanding of the world

  • Classic visuals nodding to the PSX era with a complimentary art style
