Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Cursed and Fading is a roguelike RPG released September 14, 2026 at $9.74.
A lich's curse has shattered your soul across a world of fog and ruin, and the body you are given to walk it starts whole and already begins to fail.
The goal: find the lich that cursed you and defeat it before your own choices end you.
The stat-burn system
With every movement you choose what to give up: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma — one point at a time, with every tile you cross.
Let Constitution fail and you die; let the others fade and your options narrow with them.
Dying does not end a run: your soul finds a new body, losing only your gold, inventory and equipment, but keeping your knowledge and slain enemies (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-09-15).
Runs, classes and loot
Six classes — Archer, Knight, Heavy Knight, Mounted Knight, Samurai and Wizard — set your starting stats.
400+ pieces of equipment span Common, Uncommon, Rare and Legendary, with combat resolving automatically based on your gear versus enemy abilities.
Freeplay uses procedurally generated maps (or your own seed); the Daily Run gives everyone the same map from the same start, with scores on the Steam leaderboards decided by how much damage you land on the lich in the fewest moves.
