We are excited to share that Cursed Companions is taking part in the Steam's Social Deduction Fest. This festival is all about games where you have to be suspicious of your friends, look for clues, and figure out who is really on your side. It is the perfect excuse to gather your crew and see who you can actually trust. Put Your Friends to the Test in Traitor Mode If you haven't tried it yet, our Traitor Mode fits right into the festival theme. In this mode, one or more players are secretly chosen as traitors. Here is how the treachery works.: The Traitor's Goal: You need to eliminate all the non-traitors without getting caught. Cursed Words Knowledge: Traitors can see everyone else's cursed words, giving them a massive advantage. Mind Games: Traitors can trick others by giving out curse words, or even cursing themselves to clear their own name and shift the blame. The Vote: Non-traitors must work together to observe behavior and vote out the suspect. Justice Served: If the group correctly votes out the traitor, the traitor is eliminated by the very words they feared: You Traitor. Check out the Traitor Mode Trailer https://youtu.be/AUNeKEF0Ems Thank You for the Support We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been playing the game and sharing feedback. We did well enough to trend in Steam's New and Upcoming. So it's really been a wonderful journey. Being a part of festivals like this is incredibly special for our small indie team, and we could not do it without your support. If you want to chat about your best traitor strategies or find groups to play with…

Cursed Companions Exits Early Access with Full Release and Act III
After a development period that included a public demo, Early Access, language betas, and community naming contests, Cursed Companions has officially transitioned to full release.
What changed
The game has moved from Early Access to Full Release status on Steam
Act III is now included, marking the completion of the game's main content
The development team has committed to ongoing bug monitoring and fixes post-launch
Additional content is described as planned for the months ahead, though no specifics are given in this announcement
The announcement, authored by CFS and published on 9 July 2026, is primarily a thank-you note to the community, crediting player feedback, streams, and encouragement as central to shaping the final product. The team describes itself as a small indie studio, and the post carries an explicit acknowledgement of the people within it and their families.
For those wanting a detailed breakdown of what the full release contains, the team links to a separate announcement — the source here does not reproduce that content.
For players who followed the project through Early Access, the practical upshot is a completed story and a developer that says it intends to remain active rather than quietly ship and move on.
