Changes include: Ghost chase - players can no longer run from ghosts, but instead, we place the player in an optimal position to take on aggressive entities. Flashlight mechanic - the flashlight no longer has a single battery and can be used for as long as needed. The UV feature

CURSE has been updated to Unity 2017 which is a more efficient rendering engine.
We also did a somewhat extensive overhaul of the game to soften up the rough edges a bit. The overhaul includes a new achievement as well! See the bullet points below for a list of changes to the game.
Game Changes:
Graphics and audio update: Unity engine 2017 conversion increases fidelity and performance. We also improved some of the old visuals and audio and added some new ones.
Removed the ‘walk-back’ feature in most areas: In order to tighten up the gameplay we removed the walk back to the origin point aspect of movement and replaced it with a teleport. Movement is also sped up and more consistent.
New Achievement: There is a new book located within the Library that be investigated. In order to access it though, you’ll have to do a bit of exploring in other areas first.
Bug fixes and Polish: Fixed typos and some logic issues and added some more pizzaz to increase the enjoyment of the game.
We at Stormlord Games would like to thank everyone who purchased CURSE. We are using the proceeds of the game to fund a VR version of CURSE that we hope to release later this year.

Greetings Paranormal Patriots!
The Stormlord team has been hard at work making some rather significant changes to the game based upon your feedback both here and via numerous "Let's Play" videos.
At Stormlord we take feedback seriously and will always strive to give our players what they want. We appreciate each and every one of you who have purchased the game or added CURSE to your wishlist, or played the demo.
Thank you all!
Now, on to the changes in this latest patch.
Ghost Chase Mechanic Redesign:
You now have control over where you go when running for your life! Look around the room and when you see your cursor change to the run icon press the interact button to run in that direction (The Spacebar no longer applies).
Since the player now has a distinct advantage in getting away from the ghosts we felt that the Undead were being treated unfairly so we increased their movements speeds to compensate. Yep, things just got serious.
Easy mode has not been affected by the speed increase so our more cautious players now have a big advantage against the ghosts.
Save System Improvements:
More save points have been added to the game. The save system will also save closer to the ghost spawns so that you can get right back into the action if you get caught.
Misc Fixes and Polish:

The instructions have been updated to include some missing topics.
Fixed a bug where you, sometimes, could not select the second dialogue option with a controller plugged in.
New residents have taken over the Parlor fireplace.
The patch will go live at 9AM PST.
Enjoy!
