Cursed Companions
Cursed Companions launched on November 20, 2025 for PC (Steam) in Early Access. It is developed and published by Crimson Forge Studios. This is a voice‑reactive co‑op dungeon crawler where each player gets a forbidden word. Say it, take damage. Say the right phrase, trigger buffs or disarm traps. Runs mix monster behaviors, procedural rooms, and social deduction twists.

Review

Voice as input is more than a hook here, it drives risk. Teams debate in whispers, then slip up and watch a health bar melt. The best moments blend mechanics and comedy, like shouting a banish line at a creature or baiting a traitor into a trap. Progression feeds skins and utility gear, while mode variety keeps a session fresh, from boss rush arenas to endless score pushes. Sound design is crucial and the team mostly nails clarity so the mic gimmick stays readable in chaos.
Early Access caveats apply. Content scope will grow, balance will swing, and language support is limited at launch. You need a decent mic and teammates who play along. If that sounds like your group, this is a lively spin on co‑op horror with clear ideas and a roadmap that fits the concept.
Verdict
A chaotic, chat‑driven crawler that turns words into weapons.
