The Stoevi Curse is a chilling first-person survival horror game set in rural post-Communist Bulgaria, where you must protect your farm and save your family from a nightmarish creature.

You are Dimo Stoev, a single father determined to protect his farm and rescue his children from the creature that terrorizes the land after nightfall. Drawing from Bulgarian folklore, The Stoevi Curse immerses players in a chilling tale of survival and family.

RESOURCE AND TIME MANAGEMENT

Strategically manage your scarce resources and beat the clock to return home before the sun sets, when the Bulgarian bogeyman comes out to hunt.

STEALTH AND EVASION

Stay low and quiet as you navigate your farm, avoiding the sinister creature that lurks in the shadows, ready to strike when you least expect it.

SURVIVAL AND FAMILY

Withstand the relentless nightmare plaguing your land each day, and summon the strength to save your family from the clutches of the dreadful Stoevi Curse.

The Stoevi Curse was created as part of CTWR 410: Game Narrative Workshop by developers Colin Spiridonov, Austin Fuad, Tian Yang, M. Mo, Simon Burdick, Max Hall, and Anthony Sabatino.
