About this game
Lift the Evil Curse
You awaken as a fallen knight, resurrected within an abandoned castle shrouded in darkness. The only path to freedom lies in completing a sacred ritual to banish the monstrous Jester who stalks these halls.
No run through the castle will feel the same. You’ll need to adapt to different spawns, lingering traps, and unpredictable encounters. Beware of the Jester’s twisted jack boxes scattered throughout the corridors. Trigger one and you’ll summon your worst nightmare.
Work Together or Die Alone
Play solo or team up with friends in online co-op for a terrifying shared experience. Stay close for safety, or split up to cover ground faster, but remember: communication is limited through proximity voice chat.
Every rune you collect brings you closer to freedom, but it also enrages the Jester. As you progress, he grows faster, smarter, and more relentless.
Build your own playstyle
Buy perks and unlock upgrades! Will you help your teammates? Take the sneaky route, or are you perhaps a potion master?
