About this game
"Curse of the Shadow" is a BL-themed horror visual novel Xu Mingjing, the protagonist cursed by a "ghost", finds eerie dark shadows lurking in every photo he takes. Once choosing to escape reality, he is forced by fate to face his fears head-on again. To uncover the truth behind the curse, Xu Mingjing and two close friends embark on a terrifying and unknown journey... About the Game ◈Total storyline features approximately 100,000 words of text, nearly 40 exquisite CGs, and offers 2–5 hours of gameplay. ◈The game includes 2 romanceable characters, with endings covering 6 Bad Endings (BE) + 2 Happy Endings (HE). Each HE is followed by an epilogue chapter. ◈The game contains supernatural horror, death, blood, paranormal elements, and BL (Boys' Love) content (accounting for about 15%, with horror as the main focus). Please purchase as needed. ◈ The game contains adult content such as suicide, self-harm, and extreme violence. Minors should not purchase it. ◈The values and ways of thinking conveyed in the game's plot are relatively subjective and personal, lacking rigorous reasoning and logic. Please purchase at your discretion. ◈This work shares the same worldview as the previous title " PinYuAn Tales" but is set in a different timeline. The two protagonists from the previous game will make guest appearances here. This is a standalone work—no need to play the previous game to enjoy it.
