doomed to have misfortune befall them within seven days…

after coincidence brings them into one another’s orbit. However, their peaceful everyday life is abruptly shattered when Touko sees Kudan, the harbinger of calamity.
The hours tick down as Sakuya rushes to find a way to combat the curse, and her search brings her to the academy’s Occult Research Club and its president, Koto Ashinaki. Now she must face off against the unknown in order to protect the people she loves…
Lastly, The Curse of Kudan will be released on the Nintendo Switch in Japan on December 21. The game is also available now on PC in all regions.
