Hi,
Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4107960/curator/
Trailer: https://youtu.be/aUXcwWmJVQo
Heads up: it includes some mature/romantic content, so not for everyone.*
.curator is a narrative adventure set in a post-Victorian alternate Earth - you play as a Curator using quantum-modeling tech to glimpse possible futures and subtly rewrite events before they spiral.
A few things worth highlighting:
- Fully hand-drawn characters and environments
- Investigating the ruins of an ancient alien civilization buried in this world's past
- No combat-first design - fight, hide, distract, or charm your way through
- Choices carry real weight - the people you fail to save stay failed
Having Morgan write it directly means the world's internal logic, from how the tech works to how power functions in this alternate history, comes from someone who's already built it out in his head rather than reverse-engineered by a studio.
