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 0.25.2 is now out! Check out these changes:
You can use the dragon transformation’s ‘Demand Worship’ skill on the Treasure Dragon to get his ‘Glowing Gem’ status for yourself which will give you stats based on how much money you have.
Options to talk to the Treasure Dragon in battle - You can submit to him to keep the dragon from attacking, or you can tell him to get a job at the Collection Facility so he can get money without needing to take it from you. If he’s got the Chocolate Coins active, you can get him to earn money at the restaurant by participating in food-eating contests.
2 Muscle and 2 Fat ending pictures for the Treasure Dragon (The ending pictures you get when you find him in the forest are different from the ones when you find him in the castle)

Chance of getting the event where the Dragon uses shackles on you has been changed, plus the screen during the shackle event has been prettied up a bit.
If the Chocolate Coins are in his hoard and his hoard is particularly large, you can get a pouch of Gravity Gems when defeating him in battle. These can be placed in his hoard to keep Fat from affecting his Energy.

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 versions contain a route in Koby’s Adventure where you give the Red Kobold your star!
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.
