Proud to be at the top of @lucyjames.games' #SixOneIndie Demo Days list! Have you: - Found Micah and heard the weird stuff he's saying? - Delivered the letter to Adam before Joan's body is discovered? • Heard BOTH bangers in the tavern? If not, you've got secrets to uncover.

Have you finished the Curse of Resthaven demo yet? Not only does it give you the first taste of what to expect from this genre-blending mystery, completing the primary objectives unlocks permanent skill points and bonus gold when the full game launches later this year. The island is waiting...

Hey game devs - what’s the move when you share something and are immediately inundated with “this is AI slop” (when it ain’t). Ignore or engage? Feels like a lose/lose

Also the amazing @playhilltop.bsky.social have their brand new demo for The Curse of Resthaven in the event and my god is this one just incredible.

Hilltop's last game was the delightful Lil Guardsman. We love when a studio does a big pivot like this, especially when they're friends of ours! We've tried the demo and think you should too if you want to play something truly new. 🤩

Curse of Resthaven is the game you have to try this weekend. It has it all: cosmic horror, time travel, investigation, mystery, you name it. I'm really confident it'll be a game many of us remember when it officially launches, but for now, let yourselves be surprised by its demo

OUR GAME CURSE OF RESTHAVEN’S DEMO DROPPED TODAY!! I drew some of the characters gaming as a little celebration. if you like horror games, hand drawn art and great voice acting, Check out the free demo on steam! 💙 store.steampowered.com/app/3796150/Cu…

coming from the studio who did my favourite non-farming indi game of the last 5 years, Curse of Resthaven has me completely hooked. Mystery-EldritchHorror-Timeloop. Cant wait for the full game. Hilariously darker the Lil Guardsman; their previous game. Demo out now + carries reward to full game

Love how this write up puts how we (perhaps insanely) mashup roguelite elements with narrative mystery front and centre. It’s a quirky mix that we think works brilliantly! Thanks for the feature, @roguelikerofficial.bsky.social !

Amanda @ The Indie Game Cafe@the-indie-game-cafe.com · 5d ago

How does a studio follow up Lil' Guardsman? With time loops, cosmic horror, deckbuilding, and political intrigue, of course. @playhilltop.bsky.social's Curse of Resthaven is going to be my new "just one more turn..." game. www.the-indie-game-cafe.com/resthaven-de...

You rock, Brad!

Brad Shankar@bradshankar.bsky.social · 5d ago

Something I always want to highlight with @playhilltop.bsky.social is their larger background in the arts. It adds a lot to their games, whether it's the gorgeous art direction, strong cast of (local Toronto!) actors or oh-so catchy music. (Be sure to visit the tavern in the demo for an earworm!)

Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful write up, Katya!!!
