A downloadable game for Windows

ENTER THE CURSED

You weren’t supposed to open that file.

What started as a simple cracked folder of an old game… has now become something far more dangerous.

You are trapped inside a broken world inspired by Heroes of Might and Magic III — but this version is corrupted, alive… and watching you.

 SURVIVE THE NIGHT

Each day feels normal… at first. But when night falls, everything changes.

  • The fire burns faster
  • The darkness grows deeper
  • Something begins to hunt you

Keep the fire alive. Because if it dies… so do you.

MAJOR UPDATE 

After repeated encounters… your mind begins to break.

  • New Paranoia System
  • Visual hallucinations
  • Distorted audio effects
  • Redesigned horror UI

You can no longer trust what you see… or hear.

 If the fire dies… you die.

A horror game where something hunts you every night — and the only thing keeping you alive is a dying flame.


 FIND THE ARTIFACTS

Explore a cursed, fog-covered map filled with abandoned structures and hidden secrets.

  • Collect ancient artifacts
  • Unlock new paths
  • Piece together what happened

But be careful…

You are not alone.

 HORROR EVENTS

Every night is unpredictable.

  • Random terrifying events
  • Sudden appearances
  • Psychological pressure

You will never feel safe.

 YOUR GOAL

Escape.

Find a way out before the game decides your fate.

Because this is not just a game anymore.

 WARNING

If you fail… you won’t just lose the game.

Thanks!!!!

Very Good Game ,the best horror i have ever played!!!!!!

Thanks for the support! I will do my best to make another updates

Really interesting horror experience. “Keep It Alive” builds tension in a subtle way and the atmosphere does a great job making you feel uneasy the whole time. Also, that jumpscare… I did NOT expect that 
I think with a bit more content or variation it could be even stronger, but overall really solid work.
