Cursed legacy

Game Description

Cursed Legacy is a single-player adventure that takes you through three generations of a family cursed by silence. In each level, you'll step into the shoes of a different family member, uncovering the dark history that haunts your bloodline. As you search for cursed relics and face vengeful spirits guarding them, the curse slowly wears down your character. With each generation, your protagonist ages and grows weaker, heightening the sense of urgency.

Each stage represents a different chapter in your family's history, haunted by vengeful entities that have increased in number and strength with every passing generation. 

Guided by ghostly whispers of your forefathers, you must locate, reclaim, and destroy these cursed artifacts to sever the bond that ties your soul to a dark past. Will you break the curse that has plagued your family for centuries, or will you fall victim to the same fate?
