Cursed Halls is an unforgiving stealth horror game that takes you to dark, cursed locations where survival is your only goal. Explore an abandoned school, a desolate hospital, and a haunted prison, each with unique demons stalking your every move. Essential items needed to unlock exits and escape are randomized in each playthrough, ensuring no two runs are the same. But be warned: death is permanent, and every mistake brings you closer to a grisly fate. With its tense atmosphere, randomized object placement, and permadeath mechanics, Cursed Halls will test your wit and courage. Can you survive the horrors and uncover the secrets of these cursed halls? The gameplay of Cursed Halls blends stealth with heart-pounding escapes, creating a constant tension that keeps you on edge. To evade the demons hunting you, you’ll need to strategically use throwable objects to create distractions and safely navigate the cursed environments. You can take refuge in ventilation ducts that connect rooms, lockers, or hide under tables and inside cabinets to stay out of sight. If all else fails, your only option is to break their line of sight and lose them in the labyrinthine layouts. Each level includes maps that reveal the layout and mark the locations of essential items, such as the flashlight, to aid your survival. To heighten the stakes, traps scattered throughout the levels demand constant vigilance and quick reactions, making every step a dangerous gamble. In Cursed Halls, you’ll explore three chilling locations, each with its own unique horrors and a demon lurking within. Navigate the eerie corridors of an abandoned school, where echoes of a dark past fill the air; the desolate wards of a ruined hospital, steeped in unspeakable secrets; and the oppressive cells of a haunted prison, where the despair of the condemned still lingers. Each environment is meticulously crafted to immerse you in dread, with decaying walls, ominous shadows, and the faint echoes of unseen terrors drawing you deeper into the cursed world. These settings are not mere backdrops—they are integral to the fear, tension, and survival that define every moment of your journey. The AI in Cursed Halls is relentless, always lurking near the player to maintain a constant atmosphere of tension and dread. No two playthroughs are the same, as every key item is randomly placed in different locations, ensuring that you can never rely on past strategies. Adding to the challenge, your inventory is limited to just 8 items, forcing you to make critical decisions about what to keep and what to discard. Every choice matters, especially as you plan your escape route—each exit requires different items to unlock, making inventory management a key element of survival. Stay sharp, adapt quickly, and be ready for anything.
