Game Description

Stormcursed is a 2D side-scrolling adventure where you play as a wanderer who stumbles upon a cursed village ravaged by nightly storms. The gods' wrath has reduced the village to ruins, with only a small magical barrier protecting the few remaining survivors.

Your mission is to help the villagers rebuild their homes and expand the barrier by completing quests, gathering resources, and restoring their faith. Venture into the forest during the day, but return before nightfall or risk losing everything you’ve gathered (nighttime effects not implemented yet; night currently makes no real difference). Fight enemies, collect rare materials, and expand the barrier to reach the sacred grove, where the villagers can replant it and lift the curse.

Key Features

Dynamic Quest System: Complete quests that scale in difficulty as you expand the barrier.
Resource Gathering: Explore changing locations to collect vital materials for the village.
Simple Combat: Engage in light combat while navigating through cursed lands.
Village Restoration: Help rebuild the village and unlock powerful items and upgrades.
Day/Night Cycle: Manage your time carefully; return to the village before the storm hits or face the consequences.

Can you help the villagers restore the sacred grove and free them from the curse?
