Curse of the Mind is a 2D horror game based on the topic cursed. This project was produced for the 2021 Jam-O-Lantern Game Jam hosted by Northeastern University, Emerson College, and Berklee College.
This was my first Game Jam, and I worked as the Project Manager, Game Designer, Level Designer, C# Programmer, and Story Concept Developer on this project.
You play as our main character, Roux (They/Them), who is stuck within their own head and attempting to find a way out of the terrifying memories of their own history that have been produced due to the contamination of a gadget known as Neuro-Connect. They are also accompanied by their self-consciousness as a guide on their trip back to the physical realm. At the end of their adventure, though, they come into Evil Self-Conscious Roux, who has been corrupting all of their memories. Evil Roux intends to confine Roux within their own thoughts in order to escape to the actual world.
