A place where warmth is but a memory. The night echoes with strange sounds, and uncanny neighbors stir a lingering unease, all steeped in a stale, suffocating air. Yet one question remains—where does this chilling cold truly come from?

About

Cure for Death is a short visual novel that blends 2D and 3D elements. It marks the first chapter of a chilling story set amidst mysterious events in an old mansion. You’ll encounter its peculiar residents — and you won’t just talk to them, you’ll have to live with them.

Why is it so cold in here?!
The story follows a young man who leaves his hometown to chase his dream job at a prestigious publishing house. Low on funds, he moves into a suspiciously affordable house — and quickly finds out the real reason behind the bargain price.

This game features a beautifully flickering candle. Our entire budget was three cans of beer: two were spent on animating the flame, and the last one went to the person who composed the music.
In this game, you’ll find:
– picturesque backgrounds (drawn completely voluntarily, we swear),
– a cat — because what kind of game doesn’t have a cat?
– a few mini-games to keep you entertained (and to prove we did something),
– immersive, surround sound that gently hugs your ears.
Some content has been tucked away for better times — when we have free hands, more time, and maybe a couple more cans of beer.

The art is fantastic, and I love how it mixes 2D visual novel style with 3D exploration. The translation can be a little confusing at times, but it doesn’t ruin the atmosphere. Since it’s still Early Access, it feels more like a teaser than a full story, but what’s here works. Can't wait for the full release. Also, cat <3
Even with the limited content shown (I understand it’s still early access, but at this stage it feels more like a paid demo), I can already see a lot of potential in this game. The concept is genuinely interesting, and I really like how the 2D and 3D elements blend together. The artwork is beautifully done, and the atmosphere fits perfectly with the closed, confined environment—it really pulls you in. The characters stand out the most for me. They’re fun, mysterious, and unsettling all at once. I especially enjoy how the game gradually becomes creepier over time, even with the characters who seem sweet at first. Watching them reveal their true colors adds so much tension and depth. Excited to see where this goes next!
З двох годин у грі півтори я провела намагаючись знайти які ще предмети мені треба дослідити після появи кровавих пєятен на підлозі. Сорі але є більш цікаві справи ніж займатися цим дрочем. Можливо повернуся до цієї гри коли вона буде закінчена, наразі якусь враження скласти не вдалося.
Ахуєєєєєєнніший хоррор, раніше грала тільки тетріс і сімс, а тепер хочу продовження цього шедевру, бо по ночах спати не можу все мене мучить доля Альберта. Мені дуже цікаво з чого були зроблені котлети Барбари і де дівся Барсік?... в цій грі так багато питань і так мало відповідей... Музичний супровід взагалі просто кайф для моїх котячих вушок, я шукала ці пісні в ютуб мюзик і, о Боги, моє здивування, вона там є... ця музика тепер в мене на дзвінку.. І прохання добавте в гру Себастінана.... Цей відгук провірено дипломованим викладачом з укрїдської мови. Всім мир і Україна переможе!
Цікава, але нажаль дуже коротка
very interesting game, went into it blind and was surprised with the use of 2d art. will definitely be waiting for the full release.
класна гра, хороша атмосфера, багато моторошних моментів, ставлю 10/10
No idea what game the rest of the reviewers are playing. You arrive, you go to your room and unpack with some kind of game that I got by randomly clicking, then have a few conversations with uninteresting people, go to bed. Next morning you play the weirdest rhythm game ever, put your letter on the table, look at a few objects, answer a phone and then nothing. Too early for bed apparently but no more objectives, no more gameplay. This is not early access, this is a tech demo at best and you should not be asking for anyone to pay at this stage.
印象中我是首次玩到甚至是见到这种3D混合2D的图文小说。 美术风格混搭的非常统一,令人感到惊奇的美术表现方式。 整体氛围在一种鬼魅的阴暗色调中进行。 目前对白中文翻译的不错,UI方面的中文还有很大提升空间。 建议大量增加探索提示,比如凑到门前的时候浮动房间的主人名称。 又或者是让我关灯具体是哪里的灯。 让玩家有更流畅的视觉小说阅读体验,更符合受众群体,让故事更紧凑,保持专注。
El juego está tanto en 2D, como en 3D, lo cual lo hace algo distinto e interesante. A fecha de hoy no me he encontrado ningún bug notable, como mucho, que algunas veces no sabes qué tienes que hacer, pero las cosas "cotidianas" se van repitiendo, así que es bastante intuitivo. Me he quedado con ganas de más, lo que es bueno. Lo dicho, me está pareciendo un juego entretenido y el único pero que le veo ahora es que la historia está sin terminar, espero que se vayan añadiendo capítulos con las actualizaciones. ¡Gran trabajo!
