NEWS - Sneak peek of the Bestiary

[h2]Addressing the recent changes with the contextual action button[/h2]Last week, we pushed a small update that fixed the issue that a lot of players reported since the launch of the game: the contextual action button wasn’t displayed properly on the screen (check the patch note here). This “bug” would also create weird situations where, when wanting to open a door or a chest, you would accidentally strike your torch instead. Our fix consisted of separating the contextual action from the torch, and putting it by default on another key/button.

After reading some feedback from the community, we have decided to create a new fix that’ll let you decide what you want to do with the contextual action. This will be ready by the end of May. Basically, you’ll be able to go back the way it was before, leave it the way it’s now on, or create another combination. The contextual action button will be bindable on any other key/button, even if already used in the game, and will be prioritized when opening a door, chest, or picking up an item on the ground.

However, the Confirm and Cancel buttons will stay unbindable (A/B with a controller; Space bar/Esc with a keyboard), because we are following the norm that you can find in most video games. This only matters in Menus and certain types of windows. These buttons are still available for binding gameplay actions, don’t worry!

Anyway, we hope these changes will resolve the situation for most players! We’d like to take the opportunity as well to thank the community for giving us such regular feedback and suggestions, always in the goal to make Curse of the Dead Gods the best version of what we envision for the game.

[h2]New artworks for upcoming Bestiary[/h2]The Blood Priest and Dark Avatar of the Jaguar were the only enemies that didn’t benefit from a proper portrait. That mistake is now fixed, as our Art director Valentin took the time to redraw their pretty faces for the upcoming Bestiary. You can already witness them in-game as your nemesis - but for the unlucky ones, here they are:



This brings us onto the subject of our next minor update. After releasing The Cursed Temple update, we are now working on new content for this theme. This update will be released in May, and will bring its own eagerly awaited surprises.

It will be called: Lost journals 📖
Expect a full Bestiary of the Jaguar Temple with unlocking entries, as well as new Curses to make the Temple even more of a living hell.

You may also know that we are working hard on a new Temple, the Serpent Temple. We are making great progress, and even though we do not have a definite release date for it, you can expect to roam the narrow corridors of the Serpent’s den by the end of June.

In the meantime, why don’t you...

[h2]Meet the Serpent Cultist[/h2]


Its name may change until the official release of the Serpent Temple, but here it is! The Serpent Cultists are the greatest fanatics of Sich’al, the Serpent Goddess. Xbeltz’aloc got in the way of their worshiping, and the Cultist are now out to get you with their vile spear.

Congratulations to the few sneaky ones from the community who recognized it from our previous trailers. If you missed it, have a little peek at the Serpent Temple here (beware, this is old, work-in-progress footage):
