Happy 2026! 🎉 Hope you had lots of fun and plenty of games to play! Especially after that awesome Winter Sale! We had a great time too. Took a short break (well kinda, we were still doing some minor tweaks and still finding bugs) and we're back to share with you some updates and news.
Endless Mode is ready to test in the Beta track
One more step towards the launch of our full release! Endless mode is what is says it is, unlike Act 1, Act 2 and Challenge Mode, there's no end, play as long as you can, see how far you can go!
⚠️Note: To play the beta track, go to Steam > Cursed Companions > Properties > Betas > Language-beta
How does Endless mode work?
In Endless mode the cycle goes like this, you have 3 in-game Days to hit your Treasure target. And after that another 3 more Days to hit a new and bigger target. On the 6th day, you'll meet a boss from Act 1 or Act 2.
If you defeat the boss, you get a Queen's Hand, which is worth 1/3 the Treasure target (e.g. if your quota is 18 points, you get a Queen's Hand worth 6 points). Once the Treasure target on the 6th day is met, you and your team survive to reach the 7th Day.
And it goes on, every 6th day of the cycle (i.e, 6th, 12th, 18th, and so on) you meet a boss and get a Queen's Hand worth 1/3 the Treasure target. See how far your team can go! Share your progress with us!
💡Dev's Tip: you don't have to defeat the boss if you already made the quota. For example, if by the 5th day, you have miraculously hit the Treasure target, you can open and close the 6th day (the boss level) and skip that stage altogether and still make it to Day 7.
Saving games in Endless Mode
We've added a simple save feature in the Endless mode. At the end of every day, when the portal is closed, the game saves the current Day and your team's abilities as well. When you load the game again (via the Continue button), all the equipment, treasures on the Island will be restored.
⚠️Note: Save game will be overwritten the moment you start a new Endless Mode
Soul Potion - Restore Player stats
Player stats are also saved, such as current Curse Words, Health, Stamina, extra inventory slots, and so on. These will take the form of Soul Potions. We've made it simple so that any player can drink any Soul Potion, so just make sure you drink the right one, or you'll end up with the wrong stats.
Endless Mode will not be easy. It's made for those who like a challenge. Which brings us to the next topic.
New Achievements and Skins
If you can survive Endless Mode till Day 16 and 28, and hit the achievement, you get to unlock skins, a great way to flex.
We've also added 42 more special Achievements that should make it more of a challenge (we think), here are a few:
- You talk too much - Kill 100 players by saying their Death curses
- Shoemaker - Returned 10 Blightboot Treasures to the Chest
- Immortal - Complete Challenge Mode without dying once
- Alcoholic - Drink all 8 potions in one run
⚠️Note: These Achievements will be in the 'Language-beta' track of the game. We will bring them on to the main Early Access track/build as soon as we can
Other Updates and Improvements
The Partybox - a house decoration, plays music, great for parties!
Fixes for the dungeons in Act 2 where sometimes the walls overlap each other and causes players to get stuck.
Coming Next...
We'll move the Endless mode to the main Early Access track if no issues are found. Next up we'll focus mainly on bug fixes for mid-game drop-in / drop outs, look into a few mic issues and make quality of life improvements where needed.
We're also making new maps, several new monsters, and new items along the way.
Thanks for your feedback and support! Keep them coming! And if you can, join our Discord and chat with us! We are always listening!
