Costume Curse

Two friends trick or treat without costumes, caring only for their candy. All goes well until one house they visit, the owner is found to be a genuine Witch, who promptly banishes them to a magical realm for not wearing their costumes. The two friends find themselves forced into new outfits, with strange powers conferred to them by their newfound costumes.

Costume Curse is a game inspired by the likes of Undertale and Paper Mario. It is a turn based RPG with an emphasis on combat and dialogue. The core gameplay involves the use of an Action Command, which has the player engage with combat turns beyond confirming an attack and watching it play out. The Action Command is used to strengthen moves such as attacks and defense to improve their effectiveness, testing player skills with minigame sequences featuring memorization, timing, measurement, and precision.
