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.

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.

I’d like to punch whoever thought having 3x parallel main plots shuffled when you start a new game right in the face. Oh wait, it’s me. *Punches face*   Pray for us as we descend into the narrative QA depths!   In lieu of donations, send wishlists and play the damn demo.

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. Game development is magic #ConceptArt #GameArt #CurseOfResthaven

Two sketches of the same person, one with incorrect anatomy marked by a red 'X', and the other corrected with a green check. Text notes humorous details. Right side shows detailed boots and "Adam" is written at the bottom.

“Relentless beauty meets creeping dread.” 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. #indiedev #gameart #wishlistwednesday

The backgrounds in #CurseOfResthaven almost looked very different. Here @claytondraws.bsky.social shows the early flat-perspective style, and the shift to a looser 2.5D look that elevated the whole game.

Happy Friday! Toronto’s finally getting its first warm-ish weekend after an interminable winter. On behalf of the #CurseOfResthaven team, go outside. Get some air. Maybe do a little fishing. And if something ancient rises from the depths, well, that’s between you and the lake.

And wrapping up the developers making a difference is @playhilltop.bsky.social, makers of the witty & accessible Lil' Guardsman. They just announced their NEW GAME: Curse of Resthaven. We took an early look & think it’s great! Definitely check it out here: [tinyurl.com/CurseOfResthavenSteam]

A man holding a torch looks behind him. There is an old woman holding a card and a girl with a butterfly on her face in the background. Title says, “Curse of Resthaven”
