The Curse Of Something
Yo! Welcome to The Curse of Something!
A very special text-adventure/rpg game about large furry men and growin' huge!
Live the life of someone afflicted with a curse that either makes you super fat or ultra buff. You can go out into the woods and fight monsters, or talk to them and try to make friends - or fuck them.
Version 0.23 is now out! Check out these changes:
- Lil Koby’s Adventure: It would be a little game within the game made by the Kobold and it would be based around the Dragon 'Demand Worship' ability. In the game you start as a little runt kobold and there are a few other much larger dragon guys. Every so many days their ability will activate - the way the ability works is if you two were to fight using only basic attacks, the one that would lose that fight gets fucked by the one that would win. If you would lose badly enough, you become enthralled by the winner for a number of days equal to their remaining hp / your max hp. The story of the game is that since you're so small, you were constantly being passed around between the larger guys, enthralled for so many days. You get sick of this and research a magic ability that grows by 10% on days when you are not enthralled. The game would take place over many days. Each day you get a little blurb about what happens and you might have to make some sort of choice that influences the story. Eventually you would get big enough to turn the tables and use the same ability against the previously larger guys. Or maybe you let them use the magic so they can get even bigger
- Pay for everything on the Kobold's Porn Page to unlock the game
- The event where you help load a truck to get more pills can happen multiple times. It will take several days before it becomes available again though.
The game will be updated every month, and if you're very nice you can subscribe to my Patreon to get updates a month in advance! In the Patreon versions a bunch of pictures have been added to Lil Koby’s Adventure plus you can now give the Blue Dragon your magic star to make him super huge.

I have a question: could you add female characters as a option in the begining of the game? And also could you also add other species like: bee , monkey , kajiu and alien?
If I remember correctly, this game is not meant for having female player characters as its meant to be men...
Honestly wondering if there will be more stuff with the player/enemies being shrunken or fattened (maybe have them stay fat for some?)
The power you get from being possessed can shrink enemies over multiple days. I don't have any plans for anything that would keep them fat over multiple battles but I'll have to think about it
Ah ok. Looking forward to whatever you decide
can we get more content for the competitor guy? Idk if its possible but i really wanna comfort him.
There will for sure be more stuff with him eventually
Will we ever get manifestations of imaginary characters into reality, outside of our dreams and games? Have our Dinosaur plushie become a living doll or Koby’s adventure NPCs to be outside of computer?
Maybe - the dinosaur plushie especially. I eventually want to expand on the Koby minigame enough that more stuff with the dragons probably won't be necessary, though.
actually i have an idea that you might like if you beat the final boss of little koby enough times the npc in that game sorta of come out the screen but they have their own personality and basically become your roommates and if you beat them in a battle they drop a dragon scale of their color once you collect all the colored scales you become/transform into the dragon lord and the demand worship ability will be permanent what are you thoughts on that?
another thing the dragon lord transformation also stacks with other transformations
Not sure if I'll ever get far enough to do that, but it's interesting.
hey just an idea you don't have to do it if you don't want too
Something I've noticed, If you get "Too big", The "Stuff yourself" button becomes unusable, as it immediately drains the money balance to a single digit
I love lil kolby's adventure. I really want to see a route where your character becomes enthralled by himself if he focuses strictly on growing. Gosh, I have so many ideas for this side game, but I also want to have more stuff for the main game.
OK! Here's a few ideas so far for both sides.
Kolby ideas: Magical curses! You're a mage, so you might as well be able to cast negative spells on anyone you've enthralled so you can have them willingly come back to you and desperate for more. Hehehee...
Curses could include chastity, fattening or even increased horniness! Of course, there could be the option to start with one of these curses too! Of course there's also the fact that the star could end up making the Kobold fatter. He wishes to get bigger, but he didn't specify in what way. :3
Main Game Ideas: Sex toys! Cause really, most of the scenes are pretty vanilla, which makes sense since they're like entry scenes to the characters so you can develop the relationship. I pine for the Captain Admiral ship to set sail, it's been in the docks for so long!
I would imagine those two would have a bit of a bondage relationship. The Captain getting caged with chastity perhaps? It would honestly be cute. In all seriousness though, I want to see extended relationships much like with the Kobold and Komodo.
Poor rhino is in the corner forced to have one of the most useless services in the game. That's saying something since there are many different systems for growing.
Also, back to the dragon, I want to be able to see his subby side after he quits the contest, since it says in the winner's bar he gets beaten so badly that he quits for good. In addition to considering the amount of money he gets per week, him quitting might also be him losing money and having to bunk with you since he has to spend loads of money on food that he forgot to pay rent.
Sorry if you don't want to implement some of these or can't due to other suggestions having priority.
I can't wait for the next update! I love this game! Thanks McKruger for creating and updating it ❤️
I have a question about the gravity ring, what is it for exactly? I haven't found a use for it yet x
Thank you! 💚😊
And the Gravity Ring is for reducing the energy loss you get from being fat
one very important question...what will you do once you get this 100% done will you do a new project or what just of curiosity. Also huge of your work keep it up but don't over do it take breaks every now and then.
I have a few ideas of what I'd do after but nothing I'm really sure of. This game's kind of like a sandbox so it's really easy to keep adding to it - I'll probably be at this for a long time still
I think the real fear for me is when this game reaches a gigabyte of space. XD
ight sweet just don't overwork yourself takes some breaks if you need too
Since you can play this game on web it means it’s also playable on phone which is neat
Only problem is at the very start there is not actual way to check what the curses do on mobile since the second you click on it you proceed. I tried checking the trello but it just said updates and stuff
If anyone doesn’t mind could they explain how I can see what the curses do or just reply to me on which one is what
Oh, I see. Yeah, that's a problem.
Well, Manliness/Corpulence just makes you gain muscle/fat each night. Nothingness just starts you out with extra money and transfer tokens. Competition gives you a Rival that you have to fight every few days and the winner of the fight drains size from the loser. Debt starts you out with a large debt you have to pay interest on every few days - if you don't have the money you have to pay through stats
For mobile, you need to hold down the option to see what it does. A lot of games that can be played on mobile+PC are like that. Hope this helps
What does the "FastTravelVirus.exe" actually do?
It gives you buttons in the side menu that let you set a location you can quickly travel back to
i think the only thing it does is give you a fast travel button to your messages on the bottom left
I adore this game so much. It has so much charm and personality and the kink content is A+. Very happy to have found it, I've spent wayyy too long playing it these past few weeks hehe.
Is it still possible to do the Cursed Cartridge? I saw people talking about it here and I have yet to find anything about it in the game and I guess it's a Hallowen event.
Aw, thank you so much 😊
Unfortunately you can't do the cursed cartridge in the public version. It's available in the VIP+ versions, but it will also become available again in the free version in October
I have an idea how about adding the Pirate's Curse to the Curse of Something version 0.24.2, and the plot is that we will be a pirate, do various piratical things, and find out what is inside the Pirate Cave. If anyone does not know about which Pirate Cave, I say that the cave itself appears after passing The Curse of Debt.
wish i could do more with that robot bro i need him
How to fuck/be fucked with Forest Knight, I completely forgot, I had done it but I don't know how and I don't know how I can actually talk to him properly(bad english i used Google Translate)
Impress him by lifting heavy weights at the gym, then compliment and grapple him in battle. If he's not at the gym it's probably because he's too big - his levels can be reset by getting an item from the Turtle that you get by buying xp potions from him
How do you get bottle of Xp?
You can get them at Winner's if you talk to the owner. You can take an empty xp bottle to the Turtle to get more
will there ever be curse of corruption? like you have to pray every day or you risk losing size or losing control of your character during combat and even out of combat
I don't know but that's an interesting idea.
question do you have plans for the demonic markings in the unholy hollows? also the marks look like a summoning circle do got plans for that?
The marks are just what cause the transformations - I don't really have plans doing more with them though
okay just thought id ask
I’m too dumb to figure out the ghost atlyss, I did trans tech and got a message, but nothing else
If you've got a message then you need to fail a pact at the temple to find a use for it
Question, I'm playing on the APK of the game and trying to download my game file with the Time Machine, but I get no download... What's going on with that?
Ah, I'm sorry that doesn't work with the APK yet. Android apps don't let you download or mess with files on your device so I need to figure out a way to deal with that
Oof... I know that T.I.T.S (another game with an APK) has a working feature where you can download your saves, so it is definitely possible!
that might be a little trickier to implement with a Twine bassd game
Love this new update even if it feels pretty sparse over all! I hope in future updates we get an expansion to the characters and have deeper bonds with them. In any case, can't wait to see what's cooked up!
I wished there were more interactions outside of battle, for making your enemies fat.
For example if you make the Knight fat in a battle, you soon find out he quit going to the gym and now he joins food eating contest.
Also a few more scenes whit the werewolf would be nice.
And a buddy sistem, where if you befriend a enemy they join your party.
I hope you keep updating the game since it's awesome. Keep up the work dude!
Thank you!
hmm... i think i might be soft locked. im doing the curse of competition rn. I faced against the fallen cleric and had the draining flame afflicted on me. now im stuck at 0.1 muscle and i'm going down a downward spiral against my rival.
You get the stats back from the Cleric if you beat him or after 7 days, if that helps
How do you get the salt? I've gotten it on accident before but forgotten how.
You can randomly get it by beating the Rogue or Ghost. It'll also appear in the store after finding it once that way
what does the cursed creatine even do
You can give it to the Komodo to reset his progress
Does someone have a custom enemy?
I've played through and met the kangaroo, but I'm not getting any of the images
You have to ask him about himself and then check the messages over the next few days
Maybe you should add Competition about Beach Our Protagonist VS Thug Slug
Next update is hopefully around the corner!
Just wanne throw out a idea , i guess this is kinda the same as the Curse withe the river. But ever thinked about adding a muscle/Bodybilder competition on the beach?
Yup, I've had that thought for a while, I've just never gotten around to it. I still think at some point I'll do something like that though
i know it's much work. I just started thinking like having divisjons, local, semai-pro, pro and like collosal. Giving bigger and bigger competition and diffrent prices
Your game is quite phenomenal. The Halloween event especially wowed me with how much effort you're put into it, even if it was content that'll only be seen by a minority of players! Jolly well done.
I hope you'll continue to have plenty fun developing the game further.
With that being said, I wish to also ask something.
Is there any other interaction with the Forest Knight other than making him scram or him gaining exp/levels over time or each time he defeats you?
Thank you!
For the Knight, if you impress him at the gym by lifting heavy enough weights, you can get a scene with him by complimenting him and grappling him. If his level is too high you might have to reset them to get him to show up at the gym - you can do that by buying XP potions from the Turtle under the Pier until you get a Black XP Potion
Can our protagonist take off his clothes before looking in the mirror?
no
uh sorry I mean can author add it to the settings?
In terms of the descriptions, I think they already don't have clothes on. If you mean the picture, maybe. The picture option is more so meant to work with the enemy set commissions I make and what's there is just a placeholder. If I ever make some generic pictures to replace the placeholders I have, then maybe I'll have that option
oh sorry I mean mirrors at home we can seen our character picture,I think you can do a setting to take off the clothes but if you can't its ok just a suggestion.thanks for seen my suggestion.
umm why am i gaining arusol when i meditate
Whatever arousal rate you have is too high
thx
Is there a way to fuck or get fucked by the Alligator Pirate in the currurent ver of the game?
Answer all of his questions correctly and then check out the pier. You'll need the stuffed animal from the store to be able to answer them all though
So i got smacked with something called a Draining Flame and i dont know how to get rid of it.. Its really hindered me quite a bit.
If you can't beat the Cleric, then you have to wait a week
I think I broke the game
Ah that's normal.
I don't really have plans for a NSFW/SFW option, but that's kind of interesting. I'm sure people could get use out of that but it also seems like a lot of effort. NSFW stuff is pretty baked into everything.
For the Mirror description pictures, that is fixed in a few updates from now. I think by the 23.2 update that gets changed. Though you're not really missing out on much since that function is mostly meant to be used with the custom enemy sprites that people commission from me. For now I don't have a way of using those for the Android version, but I'm hoping to figure something out at some point
yowza! updates updates updates! (I haven't checked in a while. did we skip .22.1, or is it unavalable due to a crashing bug or something like that?)
Oh, no sorry, that's just the naming convention that I go with.
Hi, how could I access to Kobold's porn pictures?
Use to Porn button at the Compter a couple of times
absolutely love playing this, is there a way to use the unlocks through updates?
To transfer saves between updates you create a file at the Computer's 'Time Machine' button in the old version, and then you load that file at the new version's intro screen. If you did that and unlocks aren't working, then I'm sorry 😔, I'll have to look into fixing that but there isn't anything else you can do
This update honestly is fire for the Komodo Jock with the option to make him not use his gloves. Though hilariously it makes gaining muscle much easier, but not as easily as gaining fat by asking for cupcakes. Still, it makes the Temple of light obsolete. Not that the rewards were too rewarding in the long run. It's good early game but later on it becomes useless.
