Map 3 (Mansion)
It's a library on the first floor. A shelf is blocking a door in there. To move the shelf, you need to find the 4 buttons. One button can be found in a bedroom. Follow the blue spots on the floor into a bedroom with a lantern and a note and the button will be located right next to a fireplace on the wall.
A second button can be found at the attic. You need a ladder to get up there. The ladder is located under the stairs on the first floor. Pick it up, go to the attic entrance (located on your right side when you walk up the stairs at the ceiling), open the hatch and place the ladder there. Then climb up and the button will be located on the other side of the room on the wall.
A third button can be found in the kitchen (AKA the "bloddy" room). It's blocked by wooden planks. To remove them, you need a saw. Go back to the bedroom where you found the lantern (follow the blue dots on the floor) and remove the painting on the wall. It's a key in there. Pick it up and go out of the room. Go to the left and then left again and a door there is locked. Unlock it with the key and pick up the saw in the room. Then go to the wooden planks and use the saw on it. The button is located on the left side of the level door.
You can find the last button in the livingroom on the right side if you walk out of the bloody room. Walk to the other side of the room and you can't miss it.
Go to the library and the shelf have now moved. Enter the room, destroy the weak wall with a chair or some other objects and enter the room. Pick up the orb, then pick up the key, go back to the blood room and use the key on the level door and you will enter the cellar
Map 4 (Cellar)
A huge web is blocking the path in the flooded cellar. To remove it, you need to create acid. Pick up something heavy (a box for exampel) and throw it on a sponge down at the flooded cellar untill you find the poision gland. Pick it up, go to the lab located on the right corridor, open up the oven and put the gland in it. Then go to the room across the lab and pick up a container located at a shelf. Put it at the oven and use the lever. Wait untill it's done, then pick it up, turn on the heater and put the acid container on it. Then, once it's done, pick it up again and use it on the web to remove it
It's a missing lever in the machine room. It's located at one of the rooms down at the flooded cellar on a shelf. The door to the room the lever is in is locked. Go to the storage room located right across the machine room and pick up the drill. Use it on the locked door to unlock it. Pick up the lever and replace it with the missing lever in the machineroom. Use the lever and the metaldoor in the middle of the center area (where all the hallways meets) will be open. Go to the level door and it's done
Map 5 (Underground)
Go downstairs and enter the room on the left side and you will be caved in. Move the bookshelf to find the secret path out of there
Door at the end of the left corridor and the middle corridor are locked. Go to the right corridor, use the lever on the wall and run to the room (you must run becasue the door will auto close itself after a few seconds). Pick up the key in there and use it on the door at the left corridor. It's a knife in there. Pick it up and use it on the door at the end of the middle corridor to lockpick it.
The story will have three endings. If you decide to try to "run away" ending, make sure you run to the level door at the start as fast as possible. If you die, it's over ("fail ending"). When you are back at the cellar again, run as fast as you can to the flooded cellar part again and run to upstairs to the left. Use the knife on the door to lockpick it and you have escaped the building.

Downloading the Silent Grunt is only necessary if the monster won't show up in the story or if you wish to use the silent grunt in your own stories. Download...
Same as the old version but much better! A lot of things has been fixed and added.
The complete, finished version of Cursed Souls. Changes for Version 2: -Added Justine entites in the story folder. This will hopefully fix the ladder...
We are in the beginning of the house, second floor. Theres a mattress on the floor and we pick it up. Theres a zombie noise and the game goes super laggy (like 1 frame pr 5th secound). The mattress is streched around the room. Is there an update for this?
I did not have this problem when i played, nor have i ever had this problem
I only had that problem once. Although it rarley happens. I think it depends on what your computer can handle and how huge the map file is. And ofcourse how badly the matress is bugged
Argh! Those mattress are getting... That mattress model is a problem in every story. Sadly I didn't learn that before uploading the story. I don't have an update for that right now. You need to restart the story and ignore that mattress. Sorry for that
Very nice mod, Kaernk! (: I personally loved your idea of having no cue that a monster was coming... ha, definitely caused a few jumps with me! Mainly when I was in the mine and I saw one of those ******* just lumbering about down the corridor... I nearly ****** myself. |: What I definitely liked most of all was how you did the ending, offering the players three choices- that way, your actual morals are tested. :D Very nice choice! One negative aspect I caught though were some control issues... first with the ladder into the attic to get the last button. I damn hatch wouldn't open for a good 30 minutes until I FINALLY got it, and then I also couldn't get the poison gland (it... was hopping around in the water, which was honestly as freaky as other areas of the game, ha ha) until I rebooted the game. The puzzles were a definite A+ though! As far as horror goes, that was pretty nice as well, but some scares were a bit typical. As stated I did really like your idea of no music changes though, and one thing that really stood out to me was the scene where it looks like a brute is peeking around a corner at you, then he just disappears into blood. I. JUMPED. .__. Overall though, very nice modification, I thoroughly enjoyed it! ^^
Actually, the hatch part is easier than most people think if you know a certain technique ;)
But anyway, thank you so much for your feedback and thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it :p
sup? :D
I have the same problem as zoomos. I am also on mac. I love this mod its really good, please can you fix this.
After I open the metal door with the lever and try to access the door, it crashes with fatal error, I looked in all the map files for the underground map having the wrong syntax (I'm on a mac) and can't find it. loved the game so far :)
