PixelHeart is excited to prepare for the launch of Souno’s Curse, developed by Kiro Team, coming tomorrow. This hand-drawn 2D action-platformer was made possible through a successful Kickstarter campaign launched in October 2021, where supporters helped it reach its goal quickly. Now, Souno’s Curse will be available on Steam starting October 31, 2024.

In September, Souno’s Curse had the honor of competing in the Game Development World Championship, the world’s largest competition for game developers. It reached the finals in the Players’ Choice category, ultimately winning first place against OctaRace, another PixelHeart title.

The game invites players on a journey that tells a story about regret and the importance of living in the moment. Players take on the role of Souno, exploring a cursed cave filled with powerful enemies, hidden secrets, and the mystery behind Souno’s past and the curse itself.

In Souno’s Curse, players will be immersed in beautifully hand-crafted visuals and thematic music that pays homage to the genre’s classic games. The game challenges players with diverse environments and obstacles, combining platforming skills with melee and magic combat against various foes.
