The Curator

You've woken up in an old cell. No idea how you got there but you know one thing. You need to escape.

Find a way out, or at least make the journey easier for the next victim.


This was created for the GMTK Game Jam 2025. The theme was Loop. In this game you need to escape capture. Progress you make while trying to escape may benefit future victims making it easier for them to escape. 

This is a point and click adventure game inspired by Night Manor in UFO 50. The only controls are Left Click on the mouse

This one was SO FUN omg. I'm usually not an absolutely enormous fan of 'escape room' type games. Mostly because I can't normally complete them without help if I'm honest! But this one was sooo much fun. Would absolutely LOVE to see more in this style!!! Definitely a dev to follow for me.

I had a lot of fun with your game! Here is a Japanese gameplay:

I didn't really understand it and couldn't win it, but I think it's great.

I've never enjoyed a point and click as much as I've enjoyed this one! Everything about it is just wow! It took me 19 tries...

The Curator – The More You Die, The Closer You Get to Freedom

Really enjoyed this game! The concept and atmosphere were great, just wish it was a bit longer :D

Great game! Had the same vibes as when i was playing Uninvited in my childhood! Definitely got spooked once or twice!

Fun little game! I love the atmosphere the team created and the art is at such a professional polish. I think I died in every way it is possible to die. What a time. Great job!!

Very cool game! I loved the sound effects & vibe. Definitely had a few jump scares haha

Fun little game!  I kept dying to see if the names in the cell were a hint :D

Finished in 23 minutes (Had to walk dog in the midddle)...loved every second of it. 

Woah cool!  19 minute run :)

really fun, super polished game, love the graphics and sound design too!!

Very fun horror experience that keeps things tense while also throwing in funny ways to accidentally get yourself killed.

This one is fun!

Great game! Loved it!

Loved it. I even got jump scared. Would love more.
