The Nomad’s Curse

Download for Windows: The Nomad’s Curse v0.9

Release Date: Early 2025

Engine: RPG Maker MV

Platforms: Windows PC, Steam, iOS

My Roles: Creator, Writer, Director, Programmer, Designer

Plot Synopsis:

A man who is avoids making genuine connections with other people is pulled into a twisted game by the gods and demons. He soon discovers others, from different times and dimensions, have been pulled into the game as well. Now he must decide if he is willing to team up with them to escape this fate or try to fight it alone.

Gameplay:

The Nomad’s Curse is a classic role-playing game, with escape room game elements. The object is to find a way to escape each area and free yourself from the demon’s game. However while most RPGs will give you a clear goal and a definitive path to reach the goal, this title will only give you a vague objective, escape, and relies on environmental storytelling for the player to discover a means to achieve that objective. Each area features multiple escape routes, but only one will help you reach the ‘true ending’.

Players will experience classic turn-based battles, using the Active Time Battle system. The decisions players make in and out of battle will affect the game. You can choose a solo adventure or try to gain powerful allies. Be careful, if you choose the wrong dialogue option you may be in for a fight instead! Exploration is interaction is strongly encouraged. This game is full of secrets, minigames, surprises, and easter eggs!

My Roles: Creator, Writer, Director, Programmer

Plot Synopsis:

Retired K-9 police dog Buck and his housemate Frankie seem like ordinary dogs. While their owner is away, they get to work solving all of the pet mysteries of the neighborhood. Missing toys and tipped over trash cans are the usual cases. However, this is no ordinary case. Someone is ransacking homes and innocent dogs are being blamed for the mess! Not wanting them to be accused of being “bad dogs”, the hard-boiled Buck and his loveable partner Frankie vow to solve the case and restore the victims’ reputations of being “good dogs”.

Gameplay:

This visual novel incorporates puzzle solving elements into the gameplay. Players will experience three phases of gameplay: Interrogation, Investigation, and Deduction. In Interrogation, players play as Frankie to gather information from witnesses. In investigation, you take control of Buck to search the crime scene for clues. Finally Deduction, where you go over your findings and add or eliminate suspects. The fellow neighborhood pets, a diverse and colorful cast of animals, will have plenty of cases to keep you busy, and solving those might help you solve the main case! Look forward to this family-friendly mystery!
