Frequently asked questions

How do I start The Cursed City Horror Map?
Open it from your singleplayer world list like any other world and you'll begin inside the silent town. From there, explore the empty streets, find a safe path, and work toward breaking the curse so you can leave.
What is the goal of the Cursed City map?
You need to find a way to break the curse and escape the town safely. Along the way you have to avoid whatever is hiding in the shadows and following you through the dark.
Should I play Cursed City with sound on?
Yes. The whispers and other sounds tell you what is near you, so muting the game or turning down ambient and hostile sounds removes one of your main warning systems. Headphones make it easier to tell which direction a sound is coming from.
Why is the Cursed City map so dark, and should I turn brightness all the way up?
The darkness is part of the map's atmosphere, with shadowy corners and moving shadows meant to play tricks on your eyes. Raise brightness just enough to read the streets, but avoid maxing it or using fullbright, because that drains the tension the map is built around.
