Cursed Business is a 1–4 player co-op horror game with a retro analog aesthetic inspired by 1970s and 1980s horror. Explore haunted locations, recover cursed artifacts, and sell them before the supernatural gets the better of you. Cursed Business is still in active development. New content, features, and improvements are on the way, and you may encounter bugs during gameplay.
Features:
- Explore unpredictable locations
Enter abandoned forests, forgotten buildings, underground tunnels, and other haunted environments. Every run features a different map layout, forcing your team to adapt and find new routes. - Identify valuable cursed artifacts
Items are generated and placed randomly throughout each location. Use your Monocle to uncover their true value—but remember: every artifact may come with a dangerous curse. - Keep the business profitable
Your expeditions cost money. Choose what to bring, decide which artifacts are worth the risk, and return before sunrise to sell your haul. Spend too much or lose too many items, and your business may fall into the negative. - Face a new theme each run
Every expedition may be shaped by a randomly selected paranormal theme, changing the entities, threats, and phenomena you may encounter. - Survive entities with unique behaviors
Some creatures stalk from the shadows, while others react to movement or manipulate light, sound, objects, and even your teammates. - Adapt, cooperate, and take calculated risks
No two runs are the same. Random maps, artifact generation, curses, and paranormal threats make every expedition a new challenge, whether you stay together or split up to cover more ground.
CLOCK IN. SURVIVE. GET PAID.
