Cursing Genes

Your peaceful slumber is broken by strange voices from the garden…

Growling, scratching... whining?

You timidly peek out of your bedroom window and spot something glistering in the moonlight…

Something red.

Should you check out what’s happening on your backyard or should you just stay inside?

...

That and a few other choices are up to you.

...

But remember, if you are seeking for answers…

In this case deaths do tell tales.

Warning!

This game contains blood, injuries, implications of violence, possible death, partial nudity and mildly strong language.

Cursing Genes is:

• A relatively short visual novel with multiple endings. Made during September of 2022 for Spooktober Visual Novel Jam 2022.

• Overall pretty dark colored, so strong backlight might make it hard to spot the finer details. I recommend playing it either in a dimly lighted room or having the light source somewhere else than behind the screen.

• A Visual novel, so if playing one is a new experience for you the help section in the game will teach you the basic commands.

• My first complete game so I would really appreciate any comments you have about the game and am dying to know which ending you reached first.
