A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Another day on the job as a live-streamer, you've recently downloaded ReCursed, a seemingly harmless escape room puzzle game. With the help of your moderators, you begin to entertain your fans while playing. But as you delve deeper into the game's dark, twisted levels of inception, you realize everything looks eerily familiar. Something is not right.

The game's horrors are no longer just pixels on a screen — they're bleeding into reality. 

If you die in the game, would you die in real life?

This was a fun clever little game. I think it would have been funny and added a little more to the scare factor if you played the knocking audio after the GUI closes out and returns you to the desktop but just before the entire program ends.

Again, thanks so much for telling me about this game, Night Forge! I'm such a huge fan of your guys; this one was spectacular! Now I'm afraid to stream XD

Really fun clever game

The ending got me LOL

Puzzle's are my kryptonite, but the game gave me the chills I was searching for!
How could a simple streaming go horrible wrong?

Intended :)

There's a reason!

When this concept is done right, it works. This was no exception, great little puzzles and the stream element of the game felt super good. Great stuff ! 

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

does anyone know how to run games on linux😭

(1 edit) (+1)

Does the Linux build not work intuitively? We didn't have a Linux to test on so we just kind of winged it and hoped the build works

(+1)

I made it out alive somehow, check it out ;D

Or did you :)

Loved the video!!!

Play this game and live out your dreams as a streamer, what could possibly go wrong? 

Super fun game with lots of cool mechanics! Got a few cool puzzles and really made me think on the piano lessons I took 10 years ago lmao.

(+1)

What could go wrong indeed :)

Thank you for playing!! Don't forget your piano lessons ^^

A fantastic horror game - puzzles that aren't too difficult and a spooky atmosphere keeps you on your toes. It kept me wondering if I should get up from streaming to check my room. I really appreciate the inception aspect of it and the design is very unique - one of a kind game! Great job dev!

Appreciate you so much for the kind words and for playing :)

I enjoyed watching your gameplay!
