Souno’s Curse is a new 2D platformer developed by Kiro Team and published by retro specialists PixelHeart. The artwork is hand-drawn and combines with quality design to create an immersive, beautiful world. It also has “thematic music that pays tribute to the genre’s recent classics” according to PixelHeart’s statement announcing the Steam release.

The French publisher describes Souno’s Curse as “an action-platform game” and that players will need to “face powerful enemies”. The game’s gameplay mechanics are what we’d expect from this kind of title. Lots of platforming sections that will test your jumping skills to the limit, combat that involves magic alongside a “touching story about regret and the importance of living the moment.”

The statement also mentioned that “following a successful Kickstarter campaign in October 2021, PixelHeart has teamed up with Kiro Team to take Souno’s Curse to new heights. In addition to the PC release, a port of the game to next-gen consoles is already planned!” In September, Souno’s Curse won the Players’ Choice category at the prestigious Game Development World Championship which is the world’s largest competition for video game developers.
