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.
Illustration of a man wearing a robe evocative of a religious figure, perhaps a priest.
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
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.

Wrapped a major story arc... kicked the session off with our artists, who pitched this particular horrific gem in the first place.
My favourite thing about our team: clear roles but great ideas coming from anywhere. The game’s better for it.

There, fixed it. Thanks NVIDIA DLSS 5! (lol) #CurseOfResthaven
The backgrounds in #CurseOfResthaven almost looked very different.
Here @claytondraws.bsky.social shows the early flat-perspective style, and the shift to a looser 2.5D look that elevated the whole game.
#WhatAGameDevLooksLike x5!
Meet the #CurseOfResthaven team in our second dev diary. We all come from wildly different backgrounds, which explains the strange alchemy behind the game.
Check it out, wishlist, and see what stirring in Resthaven!

This message from a fellow horror dev about #CurseOfResthaven and the state of indie games made my day:
“I think despite the market anxieties with Ai and enshittification of everything, putting passion and detail and human touch into things right now is 100% the play…” (cont.)
Happy Friday! Toronto’s finally getting its first warm-ish weekend after an interminable winter.
On behalf of the #CurseOfResthaven team, go outside. Get some air. Maybe do a little fishing.
And if something ancient rises from the depths, well, that’s between you and the lake.
Curse of Resthaven has a fishing minigame!!
Thank you @playhilltop.bsky.social for letting me know about this and letting me inform everyone about it!
