Our take on Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse
The defining detail is the cursed hat, which possesses enemies and turns their distinct abilities into tools for combat and dungeon exploration.
What is Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse?
Never Grave combines Metroidvania exploration with roguelite structure in a 2D action game.
A cursed hat can possess enemies, allowing their distinct abilities to be used during battles and while navigating dungeons. Ruins, botanical gardens, and other locations are automatically generated and change each time they are played, with obstacles and puzzles along the way. Artifacts teach actions such as the double-jump to open routes into new areas. Magic and items carry traits that create different combinations and play styles. Materials gathered in dungeons can clear village rubble, add facilities, grow crops, cook food, and develop skill trees. The game supports multiplayer for up to four players exploring dungeons together.
