The Curse: A Text Adventure Between Past and Present [Review]

“The Curse” is a gaming experience that has taken me back to the glory days of classic text adventures, with a modern twist that makes it even more intriguing. The mysterious atmosphere and well-crafted puzzles kept me glued to the screen for hours, searching for creative and unexpected solutions.

I greatly appreciate the author’s effort in creating such an immersive atmosphere, thanks also to the use of sound effects and images that helped me fully immerse myself in the game. However, as pointed out by other reviewers, the lack of clear instructions can make some puzzles particularly frustrating, especially for less experienced players.
The idea of a text adventure with a custom parser is certainly original and adds a touch of uniqueness to the game. However, some players may find the syntax a bit too rigid, which could limit the freedom of exploration.

“The Curse” is an experience I recommend to all fans of text adventures who are looking for a challenging game. It’s a game that requires patience, logic, and a bit of creativity. If you are willing to put yourself to the test, you won’t be disappointed.

Thanks Claudio for playing. The game was unfortunately tested only by me. Thanks to you reviewers I have identified many actions that I had not foreseen and that I will codify in the updates
