Elven Curse

This simple, non-field RPG challenges you to escape a cursed forest. The Prologue introduces you as the village's best hunter, drawn to a national hunting tournament near the royal capital. Upon arriving, you discover a deserted campsite, the scene of a mysteriously vanished gathering of hunters.


Your journey begins with the unsettling realization that you're lost, repeatedly finding yourself back in the same spot. This unusual situation sets the stage for your adventure.

The Elven Curse: Aided by Foria, a quarter-elf, you must use your hunting skills to navigate the cursed forest. Gameplay is streamlined with a maximum of three button presses outside the main menu.

Character Creation: While character customization is limited, you can freely reroll your stats before starting. Status increases upon leveling up are only visible on this screen, making it crucial to check before entering the game. A return item during gameplay. Running out of talismans (less than 2) or losing all life force results in game over.

Foria, the Peddler Quarter-Elf: This enigmatic boy(?) encountered in the forest assists you, secretly using the forest's ancient spirits to aid your escape.

Narrative and World: The prologue unfolds smoothly like a picture story, with Foria’s dialogue adding a cheerful counterpoint to the ominous setting. The game's world is conveyed through understated, evocative language.

Exploration: Progress through the forest by exploring unexplored areas. Exploration success depends on "fog depth," which is influenced by your character's stats. If you run out of life force, use poison or rare talismans to restore vitality, potentially requiring a return to Foria.

Beast Encounters and Hunter Battles: The forest is inhabited by various creatures, from wolves to even frogs and rabbits, which may attack. Defeating them yields hides for trading with Foria. Unlike typical RPGs, combat doesn't offer experience points; the goal is escape. Battles are avoidable, though this requires either luck or strategic play. As a hunter, you use a bow and arrow, requiring distance to attack safely. Closing the distance risks a one-sided attack, forcing you to either withdraw (chance of success determined by your stats) or use a flash ball provided by Foria.

Cloak System: Craft a cloak using gathered materials to enhance your abilities. The cloak can be layered up to three times, with each layer adding to the stat boost. Note that the top layer can be damaged and destroyed. This is the only equipment modification available.

Gameplay: The game emphasizes strategic decision-making, skill, luck, and resource management. It involves collecting materials, crafting, and managing your resources. Preparation before each stage is a significant aspect of the gameplay.

Auto-Save: The game features an auto-save system, but its functionality is limited (e.g., no saving during battles). For reliable saves, exit to the main menu before closing the app.
