Our take on Cursed Island
The pressure point is the time-based escalation: players who want to explore every area at their own pace may hit a wall as the island becomes more dangerous with each passing minute and preparation competes with further searching.
What is Cursed Island?
Explore a large, handcrafted island to uncover secrets, solve puzzles, avoid traps, and search for a way to escape.
Gameplay shifts between side-view platforming, which emphasizes parkour and combat, and top-view shooting focused on maze exploration. More than 80 items are available, including melee and ranged weapons and accessories. Equipment can be found in caches or crafted from resources. Nights bring hostile creatures that threaten travelers outside the light, while each passing minute makes the island more dangerous.
