A knight and a mage venture into a cursed castle together to lift the curse of the fallen queen. Every battle, puzzle and passage is built to be faced by two, and the deeper you venture, the less certain it becomes who, or what, can be trusted.
Castle Dawnlight has fallen. A terrible curse has taken root in its halls, and the Cursebreakers — an order of holy warriors and mages — are sent into the dark to break it. Playing as a knight and a mage bound together in the order's tradition, two players descend from crumbling gothic halls into ancient vaults, catacombs and stranger places still, chasing the truth behind a tragic, fallen queen and the curse consuming her home. Cursebreakers is a dark-fantasy world built to unsettle: dense, atmospheric and hand-crafted in a distinctive “Retro+” style that pairs three-dimensional spaces with detailed pixel-art textures and modern lighting; nostalgic and timeless at once.
Combat, puzzles and exploration are designed so they can only be overcome together, the knight's and the mage's abilities constantly interlocking.
Running beneath everything is a single theme: Trust. Trust between the two characters, between the two players at the controls, and, as it turns out, toward the world itself.
