We're almost done with the first Chapter out of 3 for Curse Retold, our personal Hello Neighbor 1 re-telling.
Since we really tend to go on radio silence, we've decided to show some early footage from time to time.
We'll be taking our time with this project: it could take months how it could take a year how it could take two -- we don't know when the mod will be complete.
We won't be sharing any release date until the mod is at least 98% complete, but we promise you a fleshed out polished story mode with all the previously promised mechanics.
An Early Access is now planned: Will feature chapter 1 and a good chunk of extra gamemode.
Thanks for your patience,
we'll be occasionally updating this Article, so keep an eye out!
EARLY FOOTAGE
The following footage is being shown very early
and is most likely subject to minor -- or even major -- change.
#1 - Teaser Trailer 2023
#2 - Theodore's Basement
#3 - Visions of Natural Disasters
#4 - 'Extra Gamemode' Sneak Peek
NOTES
- (08/19/2023) Chapter 1 is almost finished. All its Endings have been made and the gameplay is complete. We're now polishing Chapter 1 (giving a few tweaks to its look and fixing bugs) to start making new preview screenshots for the ModDB page, The page is finally about to get rebooted! We're not sure how much time it'll take, but it won't be much.
- (08/27/2023) 2 Chapters left to make.
Everything from Story to cutscenes and level design has been fully thought out.
We knew since ages what to do (we even have tons of animations and assets ready for it), but it took a while to make everything blend altogether nicely. We finally know how to make every level, cutscene, puzzle and ending while perfectly following the story we wrote for the mod. It will take a while to prepare everything, but it'll be worth it. P.S. The Story will go beyond Theodore's House.
- (08/30/2023) Chapter 2 & 3 will have custom buildings. We've been making sketches and planning out themes and puzzles for them for a while now, we can finally start modelling them. 1 of the most important ones has already been made.
P.S. A Devlog is planned to be made whenever we have enough things to show throughout the video.
- (09/08/2023) All custom mechanics have been polished up. finishing to polish up Chapter 1, Chapter 2 is now in development. ModDB page reboot soon. - (09/17/2023) Early Access revealing Chapter 1 AND a good chunk of an extra gamemode is planned. More news coming asap 👀
- (10/09/2023) According to "Welcome To Raven Brooks" Episode 3's Cemetery scene, we may or not may have predicted a few "origins" things. However, we do not plan on changing the lore of the mod! If there are some similarities, you know why
- (10/17/2023) We're taking a genuinely needed break, not sure for how long
- (11/20/2023) Done with our break, Phase 4 slowly but surely continues
- (12/03/2023) Currently polishing up Chapter 1: giving tweaks to cutscenes and puzzles. We're almost done with all that. Once that is finished, we'll then rework the Menus, fix any bug left we see, and then finally focus on the Extra Gamemode's levels.
- (12/05/2023) Revealed a new Promo Image, we're now going to focus on finally updating the page.
- (12/11/2023) Preparing Promos for the page's upcoming revamp.
Work on the extra gamemode has also begun.

Extra Gamemode Development -- "Escape Mode" -- is going smoothly.
4 Levels left to make for Early Access.
- (12/21/2023) Escape Mode Level 2 has been completed.
3 Levels left to go before Early Access.
- (01/11/2024) Happy New Year.
Escape Mode Act 1 Level 3 is near completition, after that we'll be working on the 2 Final (yet most ambitious) levels of Act 1. We're taking our time with these few levels as they're quite big and full of surprises, we want them to be the best they can be.
No Early Access release date planned yet, however we are quite confident we can release it in early 2024.
- (01/19/2024) Due to some unexpected events irl, most of us will be busy for some time.
We're taking a little break from the project again; but it won't last as long as the last break we had, rest assured.
Curse Retold Early Access is near completition, and you can bet we'll get back to it as soon as possible!
We'll try our best to do some little progress when time will allow us to
- (02/23/2024) We'll be trying to slowly speed up development again, it seems like we're back on track completely.
We're not sure about "releasing it early this year" anymore, since this unavoidable break slowed us down more and longer than expected.
But it's safe to say Early Access will be released this year, absolutely zero doubts on that one.
- (02/27/2024) Some day ago, Escape Mode level 3 was finalized.
2 Levels left.
Level 4 Development has begun, core puzzle for it is ready.
- (03/27/2024) We've been focusing on bugs fixing and cutscenes improvement the past few days,
we're almost done with it. Once that is done, we'll get back to work on Level 4 of Escape Mode
- (05/03/2024) Sorry for the inactivity, we are still working on fixing bugs.
We are around 70% done with it. Early Access is closer than you think
We don't know when this is coming out, as we said in the article we're taking our time without rushing out any release date.
As for Fatal Peek, it's been "cancelled", but not exactly: We are taking all the plots and story bits we were proud of and we are merging them with Curse Retold. They surprisingly fit more in this project than Fatal Peek.
If you was a fan of Fatal Peek, you're not missing out. Curse Retold will show how Fatal Peek was going to end with a much more fleshed out story that follows the books story better and without making up too many fan-made things.
More information will drop in the page as soon as we can update it
Please stop interrupting them and let them do the better reboot, Curse retold is better than Alphas Relocked. please just let them work or else they will delete your comment.
HelloNeighborFan3424 don't worry, this question was new actually.. But still thanks for reminding people to not ask the same things over and over again!
I know, im only doing to make sure to guys take your time on Curse Retold since you all are doing EXCELLENT on this mod!
This mod will be worth the hype! Good Luck you guys!
Releasing a modkit version of something is the equivalent of releasing a game's project to play it directly in Unreal Engine. It's not the proper way of doing these things. It's slow, it crashes, it weighs thrice the size of a packaged mod, it has bugs that can be fixed only by packaging, and most importantly people can steal assets and blueprints with a single click.
So, nope... Apologies, but we're not gonna do that. And by the way, Alphas Relocked isn't even supposed to be in this page anymore! We're trying to get rid of that file as soon as possible, it doesn't feel fair to just delete everything before people can have the new version so that will have to wait until Curse Retold is finished.
can't wait for this to come out and i hope you and the team the best of luck
Thanks!
I cannot wait for this mod and for the page to change! Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks!
Bro, what year is it coming out? And by the way, when will Fatal peek resume its work?
