A video game screen styled like a historical illustration shows three detailed sailing ships side by side. One ship is selected, with accompanying text describing its nation of origin and several “known trade secrets,” suggesting gameplay bonuses or traits.

A video game haggling screen in a parchment-like, historical illustration style. On the left, the shadowed silhouette of the Governor faces inward; on the right stands a mysterious trader wearing an elaborate cloak and an unsettling mask. Between them, a stylized trading interface displays the negotiation: a compass rose indicates market price direction, alongside a prominently shown offer value.

Curse of Resthaven is a gothic horror mystery with… a surprisingly deep trading system (think Potionomics & Recettear).

Yeah, it’s a strange brew. Yeah, it works.

Can you break the curse… and make number go up?

Game Title: Lil' Guardsman A chibi rainbow-feathered serpent is jamming with some music, eyes closed, ignoring a crowded throng of various fantasy people trying to get his attention.

Apparently even smol serpents have to get jobs and I've been assigned as some kind of guards person. They never said I actually had to do *well* at my job, so lets yap with peoples. Im sure there's no way I could cause problems here.

Happy Friday! #icymi #curseofresthaven

Really fascinating read and some great influences there.
I'll also shout out that the wonderful folks at Toronto's @playhilltop.bsky.social have a varied background in the performing arts scene, which I think will help bring some cool ideas to Curse of Resthaven.
Very excited for this game!

“Good” is the key word, here ;)

Curse of Resthaven - Devlog #3: The Challenges of Writing a Time Loop Game - Steam News Hi everyone, it’s Matt. I’m one of the writers and game designers for Curse of Resthaven! When we were coming up with the story for CoR, we knew we didn’t want it to be a simple beginning, middle, and...

Matt Bernard, one of Curse of Resthaven's writers & game designers, breaks down our time loop: what makes it shine, how we sidestep classic time travel pitfalls, and the design choices shaping every run.

Gotta get that dad representation in there. Or daddy, depending on your audience I suppose lol

I resemble that remark lol. My riff on that quote would be "...it's probably the fastest system there is for a non-programmer to absolutely ruin his programmer's day with one hundred thousand words of dialogue."

LOL!!! Dead.

Didn’t learn from Lil’ Guardsman, apparently: branching choices every turn = content chaos.

Now Curse of Resthaven has 3x major timelines & New Game+.
Implementation this weekend felt more devilish than any in-game puzzle.

Still, just got everything into @yarnspinner.dev. Big win. #GameDev

Every screenshot we see just intrigues, excites, and horrifies us in equal measure. Now, excuse us while we cancel our lunch plans...

For #ScreenshotSaturday we’re bringing RANGE

One day haggle with merchant captains. The next, witness a deeply unsettling act of auto-surgery. Trade well. Don’t look too close.

Happy weekend, gang!

Gaming isn’t just a hobby for some people.

It’s an escape when life is difficult.
A temporary distraction.
A way to connect with friends across the world.

Video games help more than some people think.

Wish more people could see that.

It’s Wednesday. Same first letter as wishlist. Coincidence or conspiracy? Who knows.

The game is shaping up to be something special, the music being a big part of that. Check out some early tunes, and toss us a wishlist to help the algorithm out!

Curse of Resthaven - Devlog #1: Introducing Curse of Resthaven - Steam News Hi, I’m Scott Christian, game director (AKA wearer of many hats) for Curse of Resthaven.

 My indie studio, Hilltop, shipped our first game, Lil’ Guardsman, about two years ago and since March of last...

The #CurseOfResthaven team is cooking up some REALLY beautiful, fun, creepy-as-hell stuff right now!

If you missed it: our first dev diary breaks down the mechanics that make up our weird and wonderful gothic horror investigation/trading roguelite.

@benzenedream.bsky.social is the GOAT

Blessings on this Absolution Day weekend!

Take comfort in the teachings of the Bestowed Order. Consider the parable of the ashen crown:

"The old gods are at our doorstep, and we are a whisper away from destruction and damnation."

Have a pleasant celebration! #CurseOfResthaven

hey, thanks!

Wait, so it's not spelled thscreenshot. Got it. Thanks, Digital Bandidoth!

Black and white illustration showing a woman in a dress evocative of the 19th century surrounded by wasps. She has a wasps' nest for a head, has a wasps' nest under her arm, and she's reaching for a wasps' nest hanging from a tree. There are a set of cards at the bottom of the screen, elements of the game's UI, and the card 'Flee' is selected. The text reads: "The wasp woman notices you and suddenly stops, still."

For 'Thscreenshot Thursday' (I regret nothing):
an expedition from #CurseOfResthaven.

No context. No commentary. Just a woman with a wasps’ nest for a head.

You’ll want answers? Wishlist to get them.

Aww you rule. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our game! Still so proud of it :)

I played a bit of Lil' Guardsman today and really love figuring out whether to admit or deny the eclectic characters who want entry into the Sprawl.

Your choices matter and I've already reached my demise once thanks to a murderous Disney princess 😅

Had a blast talking to game audio students at my alma mater UofT yesterday... truly rude that this course didn’t exist when I was there! Great group.
