Re:Curse
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"... Our universe is coming to an end...
Come, let us toast to the little time we have left..."
To Allison, life is just an endless cycle of exhaustion with no escape route– wake up, study, work, fulfil family duties, sleep, rinse and repeat.
But sometimes she can't help but wonder...
Is that really all there is to life?
Soon, Allison stumbles upon a group of people who may be just as lonely as she is, and little by little, their encounter returns colour to her world...

Damn you, Else. Why you gotta make me feel, man? Ahh, ahh, konayachi + else = bliss. It's funny cuz Alli was being all sad in the start and I was like "Man, Konayachi plus Else is pure bliss." GOD I LOVE YOUR WRITING AAAAAA (The fluffing "ah yes, I can feel the doppler effect on the vehicles" bahahhahahah) The characters and their interactions... The slap comedy... The friends totally immersed in themselves forgetting about the world outside... I recently had a moment like that, but instead of running in the rain it was running in a street, man, so damn good.
Ah, add a gallery!!! I really wanted the title screen without the buttons... It makes for a great wallpaper!
My favs are Kael and Alli. I thought we'd get a cute scene with each participant, but there wasnt one for revka, was there? Xander reminds me a lot of someone I know heh. "Yap" hahah
The foreshadowing to the hills scares me... I appreciated the music, btw
Typos:
"As the three began to pack up and leave" not really a typo, but like, which 3?? There are 4 people, why just 3???? WHO DIDNT PACK UP???
"there's a man who was listening intently." Shouldn't it be "there was"?
"I'm stuck in this cycle of constantly" Shouldn't it be "I was"? This also happens in that one letter "I feel like I'm stuck in a limbo,"... coincidence, I think not.
"It's too much pressure to draw things the way it is." Shouldn't it be "the way they are"?
"There's no way she'll" Shouldn't it be "she would"?
"and somehow forgot there are other people" Shouldn't it be "forget"?
"busyness" Shouldn't it be "Business"?
"What would Nate say if he's here?" Shouldn't it be "if he was here?"?
"If we do, then we'll be considered gods." Shouldn't it be "If we did, then we'd be considered gods."?
"He looked at me with those eyes-" Shouldn't it be "- his eyes" or removing "- eyes were"?
"I hope that we could be a home to you, Allison." Shouldn't it be "can be a home"?
"(When was the last time I feel so safe" Shouldn't it be "felt"?
"I thought there's finally another girl" Shouldn't it be "There'd finally be"?
"I haven't receive any" Shouldn't it be "received"?
"if many people are after his" Shouldn't it be "were"?
"doesn't like talking about his personal life." Shouldn't it be "didn't like to talk about"?
"The action I wished I've done," Shouldn't it be "I wished I'd done"?
"feeley-feeley" Shouldn't it be "feely-feely"?
"And since my dreams have been" Shouldn't it be "had been"?
"Is that what Xander's like back then?" Shouldn't it be "Xander was like"?
"I guess doing something you love" Shouldn't it be "does make a difference" or "something I love"?
"make sure you walk home with someone of blend in crowded places" lol what
"Words that I longed to hear, but I just didn't expect them to say it so suddenly." Shouldn't the "it" be removed?
MY PROBLEMS ARE NOT GONNA GET THE BETTER OF MEEEEE!!! HECK YEAH!
Terima kasih banyak! (Tryna learn indo lol)
Hey again, Ony! Thank you so much for playing Re:Curse! I know right, Kona and I are such a power team heh
she's the one pulling the most power, and IKR Mijil did an amazing job with the music!We will definitely add a gallery in the full version! We need to make everyone gawk at the beauty that is Kona's art!!! And rest assured, there will be more Revka scenes in the full version (I wanted to add a scene with her but ran out of time T.T).
Thank you for the corrections! Should probably add you as a proofreader in the credits XD. I always have difficulty with tenses for some reason T.T maybe I'm still holding on to the past when I should be living in the present XD
YEAH YOUR PROBLEMS ARE NOT GONNA GET THE BETTER OF YOU!!!! TERIMA KASIH JUGA AND SEMANGAT LEARNING INDO HAHA
Can't wait the good ending for Allie (╥﹏╥)
Ehehe me too!! ^^
I was deeply moved by this story. I cried several times, many pieces of it resonated with me on a personal level, whilst other bits was secondary resonation as I know people who may feel or experienced certain things... This is a timely VN, though wrapped in a deeper mystery, its intended focus shines true with the connections we make that make life worth living. Knowing that this came is imbued with a touch of your own experiences and feelings, there is just something so profound about your heavier stories that have that personal touch... I like how this story was not as heavy as "Save You" but yet also carried with it what I loved about that game too, and I look forward to how the game unfolds after that riveting ending! I love how the friend group is multi-generational, and each of them are unique and wholesome, even Allie herself is a wonderful character that I wish only uttermost happiness for.
I'd like to add the game is very well, written, the art is adorable, and the soundtrack amazing! Also Xander... Durian mooncake is tasty (I love durian hopia, what can I say lol)
Thank you for your heartfelt, review, ate~ This VN wouldn't be here if it weren't for you as well. Thank you for always supporting me and I too wish you uttermost happiness ^^
Under that cute art is something deeper... Amazing work, looking forward to the full release!!!
Thank you Azure-senpai! ^^
