About the game

The wilderfolk of Ushinega Island waste away in a rotting tropical paradise, haunted by a deadly
malediction. Yet behind every curse lurks a secret. You have the power to save them... but
should you?

Shadow of the Curse-Eater is an interactive novel by Kim Berkley. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

As a professional curse-eater, you’ve spent your life on the road, tracking down one curse after
another and using your rare talents to earn a living. Consuming all that dark magic has taken its
toll on your body, but you’ve an appetite for malediction—an appetite that has yet to be sated.
You’ve never met a curse you couldn’t swallow. But the darkness ravaging Ushinega Island and its people is the most powerful—and pervasive—malediction you’ve ever encountered. Breaking such a curse won’t be easy, but consuming it might be fatal. And yet, the entire population of the
island is depending on you to fulfill your contract and save them from a grisly fate.
