Winters Curse
A downloadable game
Break the curse - before the winter takes you.
As a young girl from the village, you’re no less familiar to the troubles brought about by the Yuki-onna. The ‘Snow Woman’, as she’s known, has long ruled over your village with icy dictatorship, nurturing the spread of hunger and hate as your village lose their sanity to the blizzards of her unmoving will.
As one of the last remaining sane villagers you must locate the only person left who has the true power to dispel the winters curse for good; the exorcist on the other side of the mountain.
Travel through the icy terrain of Mount Nadare on your mission to find the exorcist. Encounter various Yokai throughout your journey and learn more about Yuki Onna's looming curse upon the land.
Winters Curse is a vertical slice game based on Japanese mythology, a college project, made by three developers filled with original artwork and music.
As a 2D top-down adventure game, explore your environment and meet the charming and unique cast of characters as you venture through the unfamiliar land you once recognised as home.

Oh, it was very beautiful and great to see the snow covered villages of the Orient and the spring scenery.
The characters were all fascinating as well. Personally, I like the girl playing with her dog and the fox sisters!
The story is also very good. It was a good story line, with the Tips of the characters we met being told on the billboards, and the past of the exorcists we have yet to meet being told, so we could feel their suffering for 20 years.
And I suspected that I would have to erase my previous quest history to get a new quest from the NPC on the second map, nya~!
ああ、東洋の雪に埋もれた村や春の景色など、非常に美しくて最高でした。
キャラクターたちもみんな魅力的でした。個人的にはワンちゃんと遊んでいる少女と、狐の姉妹が好きです！
ストーリーもとても良いですね。 出会ったキャラクターたちのTipsが看板で語られたり、まだ出会っていないエクソシストの過去が語られることで、20年間の苦しみを感じることができたり、良いストーリーラインでした。
それと、2つ目のマップにいるNPCから新しいクエストをもらうのに、今までのクエスト履歴を消さないといけないんじゃないかと疑い、あたふたしてしまった、nya~!
Thank you for playing our game, we're glad you enjoyed it! Your video was especially useful and helped identify a few bugs that we hadn't seen, it was good to watch.
Although the project is complete, I plan to work on these bugs and add a few extra features. As for the second map, we did not have enough time to add a quest, so we left a joke with the NPC, sorry for the misunderstanding!
Never mind the NPC on the second map! I went on after that and realized that this character was meta-typical and that was interesting too!
Also, when I played, I was using OCR software to read and translate the text, which took the focus off the game application, so the music stopped for a bit, but please keep in mind that this is not a bug.
wait 651kbs?
Sorry, wrong file uploaded, this should be fixed now.
