About
You signed up for a simple job - pull some weeds, make a little cash. Instead, you got bitten by a werewolf, tricked by an old woman, and thrown into a maze of crypts, curses, and questionable life choices.
Now you have two hours to undo your fate before you sprout fur and start howling at the moon.
A Light-hearted Horror Adventure
The Curse of the Howling Woods is a 2D adventure game that blends classic horror tropes, witty dialogue, and cozy but chaotic gameplay. Navigate haunted woods, solve puzzles, dodge traps, and try not to get mugged by a pumpkin.
Features
- Cozy Combat – Enemies? One hit and they’re gone. You? Well… hopefully, you’re lucky.
- A Maze of Mayhem – Crypts, quicksand, rolling boulders—this forest wants you to fail.
- A Cast of Oddballs – Befriend (or avoid) scam-artist Eudora, overly dramatic ghosts, and Tim the werewolf, who insists it was just business.
Survive the night, break the curse, and maybe - just maybe - get paid for your trouble.

Cute, fun game! If you love mazes this is the game for you :)
I was lucky enough to have won this game through a giveaway! The writing is so funny. The music in the first part of the maze is incredible! I found myself moving in grooving in my seat while searching for the candle and the entrance to the cave. I'm very bad at mazes and I started this game while I was a little sleepy - I would definitely suggest playing while wide awake. The maze is very effective. You will get lost. I was the appropriate amount of upset while playing. I look forward to anything and everything these devs release!
This is an engaging game with clever maze design and mobs that blend charm with menace—keeps you on your toes from start to finish - would recommend.
This game is a really cute, bite-sized little adventure that you can guarantee you won't need to spend more than a couple hours on (there's literally a countdown timer). I enjoyed the dialogue a lot, its very cute and witty. I also really loved the combat system. It's a nice, easy system but it doesn't make combat feel less important in the game. Its a low cost, low commitment game that is simply good fun. In the category of super affordable, cozy games this game is a 10/10 for me. I loved it, and can't wait to replay to see if I can beat my time.
Can horror be cozy? I didn't think so, but they proved me wrong! I don't usually do horror or anything like that, but this game was so much fun! I'll definitely be returning to the labyrinth and seeing just how fast I can do it.
Super cute game! Fun way to spend an hour or two at a time and explore the beautiful environments. Clever humour, charming art, and fun gameplay.
I have played a few of Raguthra's demos and when I got my hands on this game I was delighted to be able to play a full release by them. The Curse of the Howling Woods is a timed experience and really keeps in mind the countdown and how the game play mechanics are impacted by it. It has great replay-ability by encouraging you to see how fast you can beat the game. I appreciate the fact that while the games mechanics are designed to chip away at your time, it never do so in a way that is to the detriment of your experience. If you're extra careful you can avoid most things that cut into your time, which is what makes it a fun challenge! It is a straight forward story and a fun game that really is a great choice if you're looking for something to play leading up to Halloween night. Or any other night but I played it in October so I found it seasonally fitting!
