Just wishlist the game already....
Curse of Resthaven is one of the most engrossing, beautiful, and disturbing games I've played in a long time.
A perfect dark cozy game, there are so many moving pieces, it never feels repetitive or predictable. The hand drawn art and voice acting are incredible.

Your niece is missing, and somebody in Resthaven knows what happened.
Over 20 suspects. Multiple culprits across multiple timelines. Six days.
Can you uncover the truth?

The Curse of Resthaven demo has been out for just over a week, and we've been THRILLED by the response. ❤️
Mashing up narrative investigation with trading and roguelite mechanics is a big swing, and it's been incredible to see it landing and resonating with people.

Have you finished the Curse of Resthaven demo yet?
Not only does it give you the first taste of what to expect from this genre-blending mystery, completing the primary objectives unlocks permanent skill points and bonus gold when the full game launches later this year.

Character design is delicate work. Nuanced. Technical. Precise.
For example: the Adam on the left does not slay. In fact, he legally cannot slay. Adam on the right, meanwhile, is snatched, pelvis-having, and legally required to slay.

That’s the north star for the vibes of #CurseOfResthaven, and our art team @benzenedream.bsky.social & @claytondraws.bsky.social absolutely deliver. I think it’s a huge part of what makes the game feel special.
