@andresplays.bsky.socialReposted by @playhilltop.bsky.socialI've played a lot of indies this year and Curse of Resthaven stands out from the first moment. It's capturing a Gothic Horror moment in the zeitgeist, I believe.

@playhilltop.bsky.socialOur expanded demo just dropped, and your progress carries over to the full game on October 29. What better time to start figuring out what the hell is going on?
Play the demo. Wishlist Curse of Resthaven. Trust no one.
@playhilltop.bsky.socialLet’s continue meeting the townspeople of Resthaven, shall we? Agata. Seer. Dealer of arcane goods. So enigmatic as to be a pain in the ass. “I love Agata and would die for her.” - a playtester Whether she’s a friend or foe, one thing is certain: Agata is central to the mystery of Resthaven.

@pixelbytegaming.bsky.socialReposted by @playhilltop.bsky.socialCurse of Resthaven launched an extended demo today, and we had a taste of its haunting mystery on a cursed island.
@playhilltop.bsky.socialHaha well there you go! I’m not sure how we will fare with a demo runtime that ranges between 2 1/2 and five hours. It’s a good question.
