About The Cursed Box
You choose the protagonist's gender, then steer the story through choices that change dialogue and scenes as you deal with the figure from the box, who clearly hides more than he says. The writing moves between suspense, humour and romance, and the devlogs show the demo growing day by day, with Day 5 the latest release and Day 6 in production.
Read the full description
It leans on yandere tropes, so expect possessiveness and manipulation played as both menace and attraction; the developer warns that some scenes may be intense. Comments in all three languages praise the characters and the way choices carry consequences. It is for fans of dark otome-style romance with a mystery at its heart, and it is still a demo.
