Don's Curse

Don is always in a bad mood, cursing everyone for any reason. One day, his ill behavior ends up annoying the Goddess of the Sea, who places a terrible curse on him.

Now, whenever he curses someone, the goddess' curse strikes him back. Will he be able to break this spell somehow? And is anyone willing to help such an ill behaved guy?

Don's Curse is a Game-Boy-inspired visual novel, which also features an exploration mode. Investigate supernatural occurrences in University Town and its surroundings, and help Don undo this terrible curse that was cast upon him.
