About the game
Get ready for this: in UNDO: Curse from the Past, you and your crew become agents of fate, tasked with altering history and preventing tragic deaths. Forget the saying that time heals all wounds, because here, time is your playground! Travel minutes, hours, or even millennia to change crucial events. With each temporal jump, you get a new chance to meddle with the past, but be careful: not every change is for the better! This adventure takes you to Germany in 1994, where an old lady falls from a hotel, and also to Ancient Egypt, unraveling a curse that has plagued a family for ages. The game is cooperative, so everyone works together to solve this mystery. The mechanics focus on deduction and storytelling, where you piece together the narrative, gathering clues and making decisions that shape the future (or the past, right?). It's an intense and emotional experience, perfect for those who enjoy a good mystery with a sci-fi twist. Each playthrough is a new chance to try, as components aren't damaged and you can attempt it as many times as you like, exploring different paths and outcomes. Prepare for a time-traveling journey full of twists and turns!
