Cursed Words Demo

What’s new in the demo?

During the downtime, the team has been hard at work polishing and expanding the experience. Here’s a glimpse of what awaits you:

  • A new secret boss battle

  • A new playable character

  • 3 new character-specific quests

  • A mysterious new kind of tile

  • Numerous optimizations, rebalances, and smaller improvements

Rumours are spreading about a local mahjong champion spotted roaming nearby, eager to test the skills of any explorer bold enough to prove their mastery of Consumable Tiles. Will you be ready for the challenge?

🎮 Play during Steam Next Fest

Steam Next Fest is the perfect time to dive back in or experience Cursed Words for the first time. Your feedback helps shape the game considerably as we move closer and closer to full release, so if you enjoy your time in the demo, please consider leaving a review and sharing your thoughts with us.

We’ve been building a lot behind the scenes, and there are still many questions waiting for answers:

  • Who are the secret bosses?

  • Who else might join the Secret Syntactic Society?

  • What lies beyond the fifth floor?

  • And what exactly is a cursed fairy?

Jump in, explore, experiment, and stay tuned. The full release is getting closer every day.
