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?

HEADPHONES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

作为一个游戏主播,你最近下载了ReCursed,一个看似无害的密室逃脱游戏。但是,随着你深入游戏那黑暗扭曲的层层谜题,你意识到一切看起来都令人毛骨悚然的熟悉。有些不对劲。

游戏中的恐怖不再只是屏幕上的像素——它们正在渗透到现实中。

如果你在游戏中死去,你会在现实生活中死去吗?

Thank you so much Sabrina! Glad you enjoyed :))

Such a fun unique game, definitely gives some vibes of "Parasocial" by Chilla's Art. Although I felt it was a bit short, I'm confident this developer can pull off a longer version that has us dreading what happens next. A shortened version of my playthrough was included in the most recent episode of my indie horror showcase

Thank you so very much for playing, hope you enjoyed and to see you again! :)

Nice video gameplay as well :)

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.

Good idea!

Hope you enjoyed playing :)

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

idk if it was just crashing or the game ended cus it closed and stopped responding after being killed and you have to enter  the code lol, good game tho prolly not going to continue the game tho cus i cant handle horror

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!!!

(+2)

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 ^^
