" --Appcraver ★"when I found out about Curio, my first reaction was that it couldn’t live up to the painfully awesome experience that a film can provide.

Has decent reviews on the AppStore...just want to see whether it's worth clearing the space for. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #8 metalcasket, Mar 28, 2012 I always paid attention to this game's thread, but everything about the game just screamed like it wasn't polished at all. Let me just say this: The videos, the screenshots... they do NOT do this justice AT ALL. This has to be one of the most bizarre, unsettling games I've played in a long, long time and as far as I'm concerned, if you're remotely interested in things out of the norm, this is so, so, so for you. Insanity Mode truly is something that'll **** with your head, the retina graphics show off some insanely nice art (that, like I said isn't represented by those screenshots) and the sounds are just spine-chilling. I obviously haven't played enough yet, but this game is so frickin' polished and well put together that I can't believe I never checked it out before. This is another hidden gem on the App Store. Would I recommend paying for it? **** yes... but for free? Guys... just hit that "Free App" button and get it over with. Definitely worth making space for. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #9 awp69, Mar 28, 2012 You sold me...hit that free button. Now, onto the bigger decision, what to get rid of.... awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #10 awp69, Mar 28, 2012 Yep, gotta agree with metalcasket on this one. Only played once so far but it is a seriously f'd up game. A runner to be sure but one of the strangest games I've played on the iOS. May not be for everyone, but worth a try. andsoitgoes Well-Known Member Jun 30, 2010 2,673 58 48 In a van, down by the river! #11 andsoitgoes, Mar 28, 2012 Weird. Not showing as free for me in the us or Canadian store. I hate nothing more than these few hour freebies, if that is what this is. I was put off regarding the game after seeing the less than keen response the devs had against a negative comment against their game from a Joystiq post. I'll happily try it for free and give my honest impressions, but I don't think I'll be putting anything out for it, not after what I saw.

Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #13 Exact-Psience, Mar 28, 2012 holy f*ck. This game is insanely good. Notice how i like runner games, as in, a lot? This is a runner game in a whole new level. This game is a total mindf*ck. The sound effects and the presentation are insanely good. And the pixel-retro mini-game when you get hit by a screaming inmate is just a perfect segway. IF I KNEW THIS WAS A RUNNER GAME, I WOULDVE BOUGHT IT DAY1. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #14 metalcasket, Mar 28, 2012 Just checked out what you were referring to, and I do agree that the dev might have gone a little overboard, but you have to look at it from his point of view. This game is most likely something the developer is very proud of (and that he should be... because it's ****ing stellar) and while the "junk" part of the comment is justifiable, the bit about Wiseau was totally unnecessary. I honestly don't blame the dev for speaking out, even though he shouldn't have... and it really doesn't take anything away from how good the game is, honestly. It's no longer free, but I would have gladly paid for this... hell, I might buy one of the IAPs. Filing Cabinet Well-Known Member Aug 20, 2011 997 0 16 #15 Filing Cabinet, Mar 31, 2012 This is free again... andsoitgoes Well-Known Member Jun 30, 2010 2,673 58 48 In a van, down by the river! #16 andsoitgoes, Mar 31, 2012 Got it, played it and maybe I'll come back to it, but I'm not sold yet. The lack of mechanics is balanced somewhat by insanity mode, but I'm not sold on its longevity. I will definitely give this a fair shake, specifically on my phone. It'll get more use there anyway.
