In this case, it's usually Abdul, your trusty associate. You either have to find him to save or hope that he shows up nearby. Otherwise, it's repeat the sequence from the last save. Curse is given one of our new "maybe yes, maybe no" ratings (as in 3 of 5). It's a darkly beautiful game, with fine acting and sound effects. But also it quickly becomes a game of "find the key, open the door, pull the switch, read the letter, slay the monster, save game (hopefully), find the next key, next letter, weenie babies etc." Gameplay is mundane, not weenie babies especially involving, let alone inspiring. The Victorian setting is interesting, and the gimmick of the Curse moving about is novel, but locations are not especially varied and the storyline is quite dull and predictable. Clive Barker's Undying continues, without serious challenge, as the hallmark of survival/horror gaming, at least for the PC—with Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem the best console title of that subgenre I've experienced.
