Story

           

Whispers are spreading around that there's a cult operating within the Hayes Hotel on the bad side of town. Hearsay of unexplainably bizarre phenomena like passing glimpses of past selves, more transient than the moments they capture. The Hayes Hotel has long been rumoured to be haunted, so it's no stranger to mysterious sightings, but as Detective Julie Wyatt approaches, it becomes glaringly obvious that something far bigger and far more sinister is happening behind the closed doors of the hotel.

A noir bullet-hell dungeon crawler where your past selves become your deadliest enemies.

Step into the foreboding halls of Re Curse as Detective Julie Wyatt, an occult investigator navigating a haunted city that remembers everything. 

Each room locks you in a fight for your life against demons, cultists, and other occultic ilk with seven distinct enemy types.

There’s no health bar, just a ticking timer. Every hit steals some time and every parry gives you some back. Time slows when you will it to, but it never stops.

But here’s the twist: every bullet you’ve fired, every parry you’ve pulled off, every last second dodge- the room keeps it. 

Revisit a space and your former self returns as well, replaying your past actions in real time. You're not just fighting monsters, you’re dodging echoes of yourself.

Inspired by Hyper Light Drifter, Enter the Gungeon, and Lovecraftian horror.

In Re Curse The deeper you go, the more your past haunts you.

You can't run from your past forever.

 OOOOH okay I love this. The concept and artstyle is super cool. The music is really sick, i love how it's dynamic and the sound design fits so well, each element compliments eachother, makes the game feel polished and easy to enjoy.  Maybe some visual cues or instructions on screen would improve the experience, but overall, would play again! 

Check back after the jam voting period is over! We're planning on releasing a "full" version with everything we didn't finish in time (random generation, boss fights, more enemies, etc)
