Yo! Welcome to The Curse of Something - a very special text-adventure/rpg game about growin’ huge!
Live the life of someone afflicted with a curse that either makes you super fat or ultra buff. You can go out into the woods and fight monsters, or talk to them and try to make friends - or fuck them.
Version 0.29.4 is now out! Check out these changes:
2 new battle images for Boyfriend
There are different gifts you can choose to give your boyfriend at the start. Depending on your choice, you’ll end up in a route where he’ll either gain muscle, fat, or a mix of both
More varied and descriptive attacks from your Boyfriend. In ‘mixed’ or ‘fat’ routes, he may steal the Alligator’s barrel or the Horse’s bar.
New negative event when going prolonged periods with high frustration: Boyfriend will take any food you try to eat and have it himself. This gives you a ‘Hungry’ status effect that is similar to the ‘Tired’ effect except it gets worse throughout the day. This event is more likely in the ‘fat’ and ‘mixed’ routes
In ‘fat’ and ‘mixed’ routes, there is a new grocery type that increases fat gain
In ‘fat’ and ‘mixed’ routes, you can find a Gravity Ring to help if Boyfriend has low energy. You can also find multiple Gravity Gems to upgrade the effects of the Gravity Ring. You can find one of these in the Treasure Dragon’s hoard. The others you can find at the Dorstore or by defeating certain enemies, but you’ll need some luck.
A new random event: Boyfriend may enter a ‘rut’ period where his Arousal needs are much higher for a few days
Boyfriend gets the Juggernaut ability in battle when his Fat is high enough
The Treasure Dragon and Mysterious Rogue are available to fight in the Curse of the Giant Boyfriend
The game will be updated every month, and if you’re very nice you can subscribe to my Patreon to get updates a month in advance! The Patreon version lets you hang out with your boyfriend or give him gifts, increasing a hidden ‘love’ stat!
I gotz to big for the apartment, and had to go live in da woods.
Though in seriousness, I feel like the height pills being only one inch and you don’t get anymore once you run out is kind of a pain tbh. I get Big but I don’t want to be super big.
True. The forest is pretty brutal in the beginning, but instead of making the enemies easier, I would rather make it a bit quicker to grow when you’re just starting out.
Pretty fun game so far, really looking forward to future updates for it! I guess it’s kind of early for me to have a definitive impression on it so far, but I definitely enjoy that it’s fairly possible to see much of the content right away without having to grind for hours on end.
I’d say my favorite thing so far though is the growth mechanic with the Forest Knight, which I only found out because he was too precious to beat up when I first encountered him~
You have something great here and hoping for it to grow bigger. Is the alligator pirate the only one who can grow fatter? Do you have plans to do more weight gain for enemies or for them to cause the player to gain?
If you found the Vampire Bat, he’s another enemy that can grow fatter. Also next month, in the Patreon version I’ll be releasing the Cobra Warlock and he’s focused on making the player fatter.
Why isn’t the option to run away available when you enter the fight? You could make it even more interesting if there is a random chance your foe catches you and makes you pay by enhancing or decreasing the curse’s effect based upon which kind of curse it is.
Love this game. I maaaaay have stayed up until 2 AM playing it last night because my dumbass character was on A Roll.
One thing I’m wondering, though - I’m having trouble figuring out what to do with the book after reading it. The instructions seem to imply something to do with the dick curse guy; do I have to activate his orbs?
I spent a good while reading it, to the point where I got the “something happened” message and the weird e-mail, but I can’t figure out where to go from there.
