WolverineSoft Studio Presents:

Echoes of a swashbuckling and treacherous past reverberate through a vast and untamed sea, brimming with riches and danger. In this action-packed adventure RPG, you'll set sail on a journey inspired by the modern classic Hyper Light Drifter, but with a salty, scurvy twist.

As a pirate in search of lost treasures and hidden knowledge, you'll explore a world full of danger and wonder. But beware: your character is plagued by a debilitating curse, driving you ever deeper into the mysterious depths of the ocean in search of a cure for the curse of the Corsair.

• With everything from characters to environments rendered in lovingly hand-drawn animations, you'll be fully immersed in a vibrant and dangerous pirate world.
• Slice and dice by getting up close and personal with melee combat or engage from afar with ranged weapons, it's up to you!
• The challenges you'll face are daunting and plentiful; enemies are ruthless, the environment can be unforgiving, and true allies are few and far between.
• Discover new weapons, learn unique skills, and uncover valuable equipment as you navigate through a detailed and branching world full of secrets and hidden paths.

Set sail for adventure and discover the untold riches and ancient secrets that await you in this epic pirate RPG!

WolverineSoft Studio

Curse of the Corsair was created by 36 people at the University of Michigan's WolverineSoft Studio, a student games studio undertaking semester long projects. It is an educational case study of Heart Machine's Hyper Light Drifter, and takes inspiration from its game mechanics as well as other games in the genre. Work on this project took place between January and April 2023.
