Zarya and the Cursed Skull screenshots

The title screen Steam demo

The game can be played in windowed or full screen modes Steam demo

At the end of the in-game credits is a list of the books from which the Zarya character comes Steam demo

The demo game starts here with no story and no instructions. The arrow keys move Zarya, X interacts with things, C fires some kind of bolt and V raises a shield

This is where the passageway leads. It is full of spiders. Steam demo

Firing a practice bolt before exploring Steam demo

Zarya climbs up & down vines automatically. There is no control over the camera angle. Steam demo

Using the shield to defend against a spider attack Steam demo

Urns must be smashed, they can contain coins or a health boost. Dead spiders can also provide a health boost Steam demo

There is not a lot that the player can interact with but they can carry orbs like this Steam demo

Orbs can be used in special places, here they open a passageway to an inaccessible area Steam demo

So we have passages blocked by a green forcefield and green orb sites in the centre of the temple. Wonder if there is a connection? Steam demo

Aha! There is a green orb to collect Steam demo

Game Over! Caught in a trap. Zarya is not a warrior. Her energy is drained by fighting, by using her shield and by getting shot. Steam demo
