About this game
Cursed Companions is a co-op horror game that responds to every word the players say. Every player is cursed with a forbidden word, like "Okay" or "I think". If anyone says it, the player takes damage.
When you say the right words, you can heal your friends or disarm traps.
"Mommy loves you... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... IT'S IN THE BOOK! IT'S IN THE BOOK!" - MichiMochievee
But when you say the wrong words (i.e. "Follow me!") you could wipe out your team.

Dungeons are randomly generated, every run is a brand-new experience.

Over twenty different monsters to encounter and "befriend".
The Foul Moth
"[The Foul Moth] kinda looks like a Labubu." - QuarterJade.
Watch your mouth! The Foul Moth punishes players who swear.
The Meatgrinder
Roast or get roasted! Shout "Who's your Daddy!" to send the Meatgrinder packing!
The Bride
Scare The Bride away! Bad pickup lines and awkward confessions are your best defense!

Team up and tackle a variety of co-op modes. Battle bosses in two standalone stages or dive into tougher dungeons in Challenge Mode. Push your limits in Endless Mode to see how long you can survive.
Monsters aren’t the real threat in Traitor Mode; your so-called friends are. It’s a chaotic social deduction mode where Traitors secretly sabotage the mission.
But don’t be too obvious as others can call an "Emergency Meeting" to vote you out!
Unlock unique skins as rewards for your greatest achievements! Kill bosses, survive brutal challenges, or simply get killed in unique circumstances.
“Oh that’s nice… I can be a knight!” - Foolish

Customize your home and let your friends see how cursed your taste really is!

Join us for Steam Social Deduction Fest
We are excited to share that Cursed Companions is taking part in the Steam's Social Deduction Fest. This festival is all about games where you have to be suspicious of your friends, look for clues, and figure out who is really on your side. It is the perfect excuse to gather your crew and see who you can actually trust. Put Your Friends to the Test in Traitor Mode {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45253351/5754b1eff5bbadcb4c2ba867ac614542413cbca7.png If you haven't tried it yet, our Traitor Mode fits right into the festival theme. In this mode, one or more players are secretly chosen as traitors. Here is how the treachery works.: The Traitor's Goal: You need to eliminate all the non-traitors without getting caught. Cursed Words Knowledge: Traitors can see everyone else's cursed words, giving them a massive advantage. Mind Games: Traitors can trick others by giving out curse words, or even cursing themselves to clear their own name and shift the blame. The Vote: Non-traitors must work together to observe behavior and vote out the suspect. Justice Served: If the group correctly votes out the traitor, the traitor is eliminated by the very words they feared: You Traitor. Check out the Traitor Mode Trailer https://youtu.be/AUNeKEF0Ems Thank You for the Support We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been playing the game and sharing feedback. We did well enough to trend in Steam's New and Upcoming. So it's really been a wonderful journey. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45253351/32115eb2019ca9efa0c93d63d79091b8fc44013c.png Being a part of festivals like this is incredibly special for our small indie team, and we could not do it without your support. If you want to chat about your best traitor strategies or find groups to play with during the festival, head over to our Discord. We are always around to listen and chat with the community.Read full article on Community Announcements (CFS)AnnouncementsOfficial
Full Release Celebration: Thank You to Our Companions!

A Journey Built Together We want to say a massive thank you to our community for your support over the years of development.

Watching you play, curse each other, and navigate the madness has been a true joy. We laughed till we cried watching your streams. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45253351/6de2441fd3637318d91dc83c4262bbbc8ad214f2.jpg We are deeply proud and fond of the final product, and we could not have done it without your constant feedback and encouragement. 🔥 We also thank all those in our team who have made this a reality, who have stuck with us through the moments of uncertainty, and our families who gave us the support we needed.

What's coming in Full Release?
We are finally reaching our version 1.0 full release on July 9. This major update brings a massive amount of new content to the game. Act III is officially arriving with a brand new boss, 4 new maps, over 60 new dungeon rooms, 10 new monsters, more than a dozen new skins, and a whole selection of new items and treasures.Thank you all so much for your continuous support and feedback throughout our early access journey. This milestone is a huge moment for our small team, and we are incredibly grateful to our community. 🙂 Major Gameplay ChangesBased on player suggestions, we have made some significant updates to core gameplay mechanics to shake things up.Spell Torch Upgrades: The Spell Torch has been underutilized in past builds, so we added more functionality. It can now be used to defeat Mannequins, open Grumble Chests, and identify dangerous doors. Respawn Dice: We wanted to find a way to get dead players back into the match quicker. We added a pair of demonic dice that can resurrect you if you manage to roll a win.Ice Wand and Boomer Bomb: These tactical items now freeze monsters completely in place instead of just slowing them down.Act III Content SpoilersThe following section contains spoilers for the upcoming act, so skip this part if you prefer to discover everything on your own.Act III introduces water elements to our maps and dungeons. While your character cannot drown, different types of dangerous monsters now lurk in the depths. Moving underwater also dampens your audio, making it much harder for your companions to hear you clearly.New Boss - JesterTo complete the act, you must defeat the Jester, our new boss creature. He adds a new layer of challenge with unique death curses, requiring your team to completely rethink how you communicate with each other to survive. New MonstersHere is a breakdown of the new creatures you will face in the depths of Act 3:The Doorpelganger: Not all doors are safe now, as a creature may be lurking right behind them.Mimic: Be c...Read full article on Community Announcements (CFS)AnnouncementsOfficial

Act 3 Progress: Underwater Maps and new Respawn mechanics
Hey everyone, we wanted to give you a progress update on the full release of the game. We are going through a small closed beta to iron out the bugs, and the community has given us so much help for this. Thank you all for playing and supporting our small indie team. Act III Maps and Dungeons Act 3 will have new maps and new dungeons with underwater environments 🌊. Some parts of the dungeons are flooded and you won't be able to see that well once you go underwater, so be careful of the creatures that lurk in the murky depths. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45253351/4f0b2f7c1c07c47a8d4e0b3639366d8c6b051caf.jpg New Respawn Mechanics We know spectating is fun, especially watching your friends die or cheering them on but it's not as nice as playing the game for real. And honestly, sometimes it's boring, so that is something we've always been trying to address. Apart from the Dark Shrine, Sarcophagus and Respawn Egg (where they give alive players the ability to revive unalive players) we have added the Respawn Dice and Plan B. Respawn Dice {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45253351/658d330ac3bd6c3ac7c529a4b051664a8db08648.gif In spectate mode, you can roll the Respawn Dice for a chance to get revived next to a companion. Keep rolling until you respawn. No limits on the rolls. So even when you are dead, you still get some control on your own revive chances, rather than depending on your teammates. Plan B This is a Treasure that revives you automatically when you die. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45253351/a470cdde5cee7c47f975b388790493375dc9cb7a.gif Both these revive mechanics will respawn you next to a random player when triggered, or if no player is found, will respawn you back on the Home island. Launch Date The launch is coming soon for the full release. Depending on how the closed beta goes we'll announce a date shortly!
