    It's a fantastic cerebral challenge, simply put, and the story and high presentation values merely add to the full ensemble of greatness.

    While most people will never see it through to the end, those who persevere with The Curse are in for one of the most difficult puzzling experiences going.

    Like Professor Layton, this is a game with a plot loosely based around solving puzzles. While having a charm of its own, it's missing the sense of adventure and exploration of its inspiration.

    A smart yet challenging little puzzle game with a cozy atmosphere. Some puzzles are reused though, and the story is not much to brag about.
