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 0.22.2 is now out! Check out these changes:
- Even more pictures for when you defeat an enemy by making them fat. (Pictures for the Vampire Bat, Mysterious Rogue, Evil Ghost, Fallen Cleric, Rival, and Robot)
- You can tell the Komodo Jock to stop using his gloves to prevent him from doing any size changing shenanigans in battle
- A nerf to the Fallen Cleric: There’s a chance that his charm will last 1 less turn, and trying to Discourage him has a higher chance of working. The length of his silencing spell is decreased and he’ll be less likely to cast it again if he has already used it.
- After competing in your 2nd food eating contest at the Blue Ben's Bar and Grille you will receive a Yummy Burger. You can give it to enemies to make them fatter.
- Stunning the Cobra Warlock will make him drop his gem and lose the stats gained from it. There are new sprites to depict this and his old sprites have been touched up. His previous highest muscle stage has an entirely new sprite
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,during the Cobra sex scene you can take his book and his gem and use his magic against him.

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.

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!
I am glad that an update of my favorite game will be released tomorrow!!! It will be great if new locations, items, characters and new mechanics appear in the update.
I wonder what Deity has the month of november?
Love the game, would be funny to see content for November specific stuff, as it would be funny!
I've seen mention of throwing werewolf blood at the Werewolf to make him a Demon Werewolf, will there be something like that for throwing Vampire blood at the Bat or Dragon blood at the Kobold?
Not sure. I don't really have any plans for that so far
How close is the next update?
It's on the 6th
Ok!
Is it possible to get more pots for plants in the game?
I think it is if you become a Patron.
Did you update the game yesterday? It started asking for custom stats at the start or the Curse of Nothingness.
it's showing up for the others too
That's something that gets unlocked after you get far enough in one playthrough
So, what is supposed to happen after the Ghost Atlas leads to the "incrementum" in the computer messages?
If you fail a pact at the temple you should find a use for that message
yo i have a question i did the werewolf side of things and i'm wondering is there a way to make the demon werewolf transformation permanent? because i noticed it only lasts for a day or was that intended?? Also i thought of something if you get so huge you basically get to chance to fight the gods of the world and try to claim your place as the one true god of them all but the gods also level scale meaning the bigger you get it the harder they are to fight if your too small they send you back to your apartment until you get bigger again but if you lose you lose all your progress and you start from scratch and everyone's memories of you except the gods are reseted but if you win a battle against all the gods they will treat you like one also one more thing you will also get to run your own temple
Throwing Werewolf Blood at the Werewolf while in battle will turn him into a demon werewolf. Beating him then gets you demon werewolf blood which can be used to make the transformation permanent
ight thanks
Curse of Boyfriend!I have been waiting for a long time
I can't wait until we're able to have more characters have permanent weight stages like the Kobold. Mmmh. I have an idea, I think the T-Rex Knight being defeated by you during sex should cause his stats to be skewed to fat. While beating him in combat gives him muscle. I also want to see him have another place where you can interact with him.
Also, I want to see the Pirate Raven have an expanded story as well.
Are you able to interact with Reverend Alexander besides talking to him? If so, how?
For now, there isn't really much outside of talking to him
great cartrage thing! was it inspired by the Ben Drowned Creepy pasta? I also love the mother reference with how the attacks from the ghost give the text: "[insert your character's name here (don't worry, this is just an example)] couldn't grasp the form of [Ghost's] attack"
Also, Can't wait for Curse of Boyfriend lol
Thanks! And it kind of was inspired by the Ben Drowned story in a way. I guess it's more so just using tropes that are common in a lot of creepy pastas
makes sense, makes sense.
It feels like its much harder to permamently fatten up Komodo, i remember when he was first added i managed to plump him up before bulking him. Did something change?
I don't think anything should have changed with that, but I'll look into it
How do I make Komodo and Kobold have a relationship?
If you talk to the komodo in battle about the kobold, the next day his gloves will stop working and you can talk to him again
How do I make Komodo and Kobold have a relationship?
Is there truly no way to lift the Low Testosterone curse? All my save files have the Super Anabol applied and I want to get rid of it. I also could've sworn I saw some Testosterone shots at some point in the game, but I don't remember where.
The testosterone is part of a randomized list of items that are in different places in each run. It can be a special at the supermarket, found in a chest outside of the castle, gotten from the alligator after his scene in the ship, at the secret stadium, or as a quest reward at Winner's
Got it. Thanks!
does each user in the cursed cartridge do something different?
Nope, they all result in the same thing
Will backflow be something that you would consider adding? If you stay pent up for too long you'd start to swell with your own fluids, swelling faster with how productive you are.
Probably not, sorry!
Is there a way to permanently become a demon werewolf?
After you beat the demon form of the werewolf he’ll drop a Vile of Demon Blood that can be used to make the demon werewolf transformation permanent
