Crimson Forge Studios confirmed the full version of Cursed Companions will arrive on Steam on July 9. The co-op horror game, which entered early access in November 2025, received a Japanese language update in April. Its core mechanic assigns each player a forbidden word from everyday speech-such as "sorry" or "thank you"-and speaking that word deals damage. Spoken words also function as spells to activate mechanisms or attack enemies. Version 1.0 adds Act III, underwater dungeons with reduced visibility, ten new creatures, and a Respawn Dice system that lets fallen players roll for a chance to revive beside a teammate without help. Seven new equipment pieces, 65 room types, four outdoor maps, and 15 unlockable cosmetics are also included. The game costs 1,000 yen and supports Japanese text.
