The Curse Of Something
Yo! Welcome to The Curse of Something!
A very special text-adventure/rpg game about large furry men and growin' huge!
Live the life of someone afflicted with a curse that either makes you super fat or ultra buff. You can go out into the woods and fight monsters, or talk to them and try to make friends - or fuck them.
Version 0.22.3 is now out! Check out these changes:
- The other half of the Cobra sex scene where you take his book and gem and use them against him
- Picture for when you defeat the Cobra Warlock by making them fat.
- After knocking the gem out of the Cobra’s hand by stunning him, you can pick it up to use against him.
- If the Fallen Cleric gives up on trying to charm you he will also stop using the silencing spell
- Nerf to the Sacred Flame item. It will no longer scale to such an absurd degree.
- Creatine is sold in a pack of three at the supermarket
- Pact failure quest only requires one failure
- Thermionic Altar: Place a ring on it to fine-tune its strength. Find it outside the castle
- Metal Enchanting Stone: The Muscle/Fat Concealing rings can be made indestructible at the Thermionic Altar. You can find this stone by exploring after finding the altar.
- Gravity Ring: A quest reward that reduces the effect that gravity has on you.
- Leaked photos of the Smug Kangaroo. Check your messages after being introduced to him.
The game will be updated every month, and if you're very nice you can subscribe to my Patreon to get updates a month in advance! In the Patreon versions you can access a new mini-game: Lil Koby’s Adventure - you start as a tiny kobold who lives amongst several larger dragon men who all have the ability to enthrall you for a number of days depending on the size difference between you and them. You have magic that makes you larger day by day so eventually you'll be big enough to turn the tables on them.

hmm... i think i might be soft locked. im doing the curse of competition rn. I faced against the fallen cleric and had the draining flame afflicted on me. now im stuck at 0.1 muscle and i'm going down a downward spiral against my rival.
You get the stats back from the Cleric if you beat him or after 7 days, if that helps
How do you get the salt? I've gotten it on accident before but forgotten how.
You can randomly get it by beating the Rogue or Ghost. It'll also appear in the store after finding it once that way
what does the cursed creatine even do
You can give it to the Komodo to reset his progress
Does someone have a custom enemy?
I've played through and met the kangaroo, but I'm not getting any of the images
You have to ask him about himself and then check the messages over the next few days
Maybe you should add Competition about Beach Our Protagonist VS Thug Slug
Next update is hopefully around the corner!
Just wanne throw out a idea , i guess this is kinda the same as the Curse withe the river. But ever thinked about adding a muscle/Bodybilder competition on the beach?
Yup, I've had that thought for a while, I've just never gotten around to it. I still think at some point I'll do something like that though
i know it's much work. I just started thinking like having divisjons, local, semai-pro, pro and like collosal. Giving bigger and bigger competition and diffrent prices
Your game is quite phenomenal. The Halloween event especially wowed me with how much effort you're put into it, even if it was content that'll only be seen by a minority of players! Jolly well done.
I hope you'll continue to have plenty fun developing the game further.
With that being said, I wish to also ask something.
Is there any other interaction with the Forest Knight other than making him scram or him gaining exp/levels over time or each time he defeats you?
Thank you!
For the Knight, if you impress him at the gym by lifting heavy enough weights, you can get a scene with him by complimenting him and grappling him. If his level is too high you might have to reset them to get him to show up at the gym - you can do that by buying XP potions from the Turtle under the Pier until you get a Black XP Potion
Can our protagonist take off his clothes before looking in the mirror?
no
uh sorry I mean can author add it to the settings?
In terms of the descriptions, I think they already don't have clothes on. If you mean the picture, maybe. The picture option is more so meant to work with the enemy set commissions I make and what's there is just a placeholder. If I ever make some generic pictures to replace the placeholders I have, then maybe I'll have that option
oh sorry I mean mirrors at home we can seen our character picture,I think you can do a setting to take off the clothes but if you can't its ok just a suggestion.thanks for seen my suggestion.
umm why am i gaining arusol when i meditate
Whatever arousal rate you have is too high
thx
Is there a way to fuck or get fucked by the Alligator Pirate in the currurent ver of the game?
Answer all of his questions correctly and then check out the pier. You'll need the stuffed animal from the store to be able to answer them all though
So i got smacked with something called a Draining Flame and i dont know how to get rid of it.. Its really hindered me quite a bit.
If you can't beat the Cleric, then you have to wait a week
I think I broke the game
Ah that's normal.
I don't really have plans for a NSFW/SFW option, but that's kind of interesting. I'm sure people could get use out of that but it also seems like a lot of effort. NSFW stuff is pretty baked into everything.
For the Mirror description pictures, that is fixed in a few updates from now. I think by the 23.2 update that gets changed. Though you're not really missing out on much since that function is mostly meant to be used with the custom enemy sprites that people commission from me. For now I don't have a way of using those for the Android version, but I'm hoping to figure something out at some point
yowza! updates updates updates! (I haven't checked in a while. did we skip .22.1, or is it unavalable due to a crashing bug or something like that?)
Oh, no sorry, that's just the naming convention that I go with.
Hi, how could I access to Kobold's porn pictures?
Use to Porn button at the Compter a couple of times
absolutely love playing this, is there a way to use the unlocks through updates?
To transfer saves between updates you create a file at the Computer's 'Time Machine' button in the old version, and then you load that file at the new version's intro screen. If you did that and unlocks aren't working, then I'm sorry 😔, I'll have to look into fixing that but there isn't anything else you can do
This update honestly is fire for the Komodo Jock with the option to make him not use his gloves. Though hilariously it makes gaining muscle much easier, but not as easily as gaining fat by asking for cupcakes. Still, it makes the Temple of light obsolete. Not that the rewards were too rewarding in the long run. It's good early game but later on it becomes useless.
Honestly I loved the game, It's amazing how much has advanced since I tried 0.9. I'm already curious what more surprises will follow.
Fun game but does the Ghost Atlas do anything?
You can read it in the closet. Fail a pact at the temple, you'll have to figure out the rest
read it and wait on that screen for a bit, do not exit out of the book screen until things start going weird and you see a specific word
Peak
I'd like to point out that the muscle transfer protocol somehow prevents the robot from being defeated until it expires, I don't think it should work that way, it just drags the fight longer even if it's just for 3 turns.
Yup, you're right. That's getting fixed
I like this game!!! I'm looking forward to "the Boyfriend Curse" in the game. I'm supposed to have surgery this week.
Oh no! Hopefully that works out well for you
Thanks
I hope that after the lil kolby updates we can have deeper relationships with the characters. Now, Granted, I wouldn't mind new characters. As long as old characters get updated *cough* Rhino *cough* at some point. Though it can be tough to iron out the story points for characters. I'm along for the ride nonetheless.
h e l p
how do i beat the fallen cleric? i've been at this dude for what feels like years already
thamks in advance
It helps to meditate at the temple or use items like the libido suppressant pills
How do i complete the XP quest? :0 im kinda stuck because im huge and i dont really seem to progres
You use the potion on the knight
After I get the dem0n vial all the enemies stats decreased a lot making them skinner and weak, is this intended...?
Are you possessed by the ghost? That's supposed to be one of the abilities you get with that
No, I just used the vial..., I think I broke your game somehow, better I stop playing and await for future ups..., my bad, and it's a awesome game! I love it!
day *insert outrageous number here* of waiting for curse of boyfriend (/j keep up the great work dude! I love the fat scenes, and I love the Kobold's fat sprite, I just wanna cuddle him so bad! :3)
also... I wonder if there might be a curse that basically makes you get a larger cock and balls as you go on, however the rest of your body shrinks. would be funny just mirror description where your character's so small and crotch is so large that your character can't be seen except for their crotch or something. would definitely be a mage-build curse or something... or hell, even just have libido (like comment below) increase every day by the size of the balls+cock in inches. perfect mage build, but would really make it hard/impossible against Kangaroo and fallen cleric.
can "Libido" be made into a stat separate from your size so that we can lower it without having to deliberately become smaller? this would mean that the Libido Suppressant Pills would PERMANENTLY lower how fast you gain arousal
Maybe, I'll think about it
On another topic, there should be character reactions for your when your size reaches levels that are insane. For example, the Komodo Jock just spams growth until he can one shot you since hp has a cap but apparently attack doesn't. That's excluding exponentials. So at some point you get locked out of things like the temple.
I'm excited to see what is in the patron and secret versions but I'm broke so I have to settle with waiting. Though there are a ton of things I want to see, overall, I don't want to set unreasonable expectations for things. I'm impressed nonetheless that you can keep the versions separate.
Well, I made the Fallen Cleric unbeatable, any way to undo this without starting a new save?
![]()
If he's stolen your size it will reset in a week
Ah, thanks
A very good game. Really good and hot mechanics. My only issue is that after a certain point, you can accidentally become so strong that you deal so much damage that the game can't register you as actually dealing damage. The only way to beat enemies by this point is through making them fat.
All said, I'd love to see more come out of this game.
This happened to me when using the sacred flame, not sure how it got really crazy with the muscle growth, but maybe it's because I had the curse of virility which has similar effects to the sacred flame so maybe the effects kinda stacked and multiplied each other somehow. Just speculating lol
That happens because I messed up on how that item scales with your current size. It gets fixed in the 0.22.3 version though
I think my favorite fat scene is when the Shark breaks the pier. Honestly it does his over weight appearance from being turned into a pillowy shark justice. I want to see an event where he actually is stuck out at sea due to being too fat to swim and work it off. I mean, if you're having him gain weight from taking anal you might as well have there be some consequences for the character.
I also have a headcanon that the gladiator statue is a cursed warrior who can become an ally if you give him his sword back to free him from being a statue. A honey bee perhaps? Needless to say, this game has such a wacky and rich environment for storytelling.
I'm hoping eventually we get either equippable sex toys which affect spells and arousal during battle. Like a chastity cage which increases max arousal and allowing for stronger spells.
Weird bug I've realized that has persisted: if you orgasm during an eating job, you'll end up getting paid anyways but also only spend the amount of time you worked prior to orgasming.
Thanks, I'll take care of that
DON'T REMOVE IT!!!!!! MAKE IT A FEATURE!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
-sincerely a person who has characters too big to NOT cum during the eating job
Oh, no I intended for you to be able to cum but still get paid. It's just that apparently it only takes a fraction of the time if you do so. That I want to fix. I don't think it would make sense flavour-wise to keep it the way it is
Cumming on the job, that's fine. Temporal shenanigans caused by cumming? Nah, better patch that.
me when people want to patch temporal stuff:
NOOOOOOO D:
thankfully, on my download ver. save, I got the card from a chest at curse castle (outside though, not within!)
Well that's the first time I've seen that happen. Then again, I just bulk buy fat early game so I can have money to work with.
Wdym by custom enemy sets in mirror description?
I take commissions for sets of enemy sprites like these: https://x.com/mcrugermasta/status/1822353367823229397/photo/1
If someone has those they can put them in a folder to be used in the game
i was thinking about this game before sleeping, many RPGs have multi enemies in a single encounter, do you plan on doing something similar? I thought of something that would be a couple that you fight against and they force feed the main character
Maybe. Though that might get complicated, especially with trying to fit multiple large enemy sprites on screen along with everything else.
I'm so excited for the new update coming! The game is well done with the mechanics, scenes, character drawings and more!
