Huntress: The Cursed Village

About

A village lies under a dark spell, and only puzzle-solving can lift it. In Huntress: The Cursed Village, you take on the role of a heroine returning home to find her surroundings twisted by an ancient curse. The gameplay revolves around Match-3 challenges where each level requires clearing obstacles and using special power-ups to progress. With a single-player campaign, the focus is on strategy and timing as you work through increasingly complex puzzles to break the curse and restore the village. The game’s hand-drawn visuals and atmospheric soundtrack help bring the cursed setting to life. While the core mechanics follow familiar puzzle traditions, the level design offers some clever twists that keep the experience fresh. Community feedback highlights its accessibility for casual players, though some note the difficulty spikes in later stages. Since release in late 2021, it has gathered a steady following with over 50,000 copies sold on PC. For those who enjoy thoughtful puzzle challenges with a story-driven backdrop, this title provides a solid, if occasionally tough, adventure.
