The gates of Hell have opened, and the race has officially begun! Hunters are already diving into the brutal depths of Cursed War to conquer Tier 9 of Endless Nightmares and claim the ultimate grand prize: the custom Starforge PC.
As we kick off, we want to address a common question from the community: "Why is livestreaming required to participate?"
We completely understand that not everyone usually streams their gameplay, but we want to be 100% transparent about why this rule is vital for the integrity of the contest.
To ensure a completely fair competition, our development team must be able to thoroughly review the full VOD of the winning run. This allows us to verify that no cheats, hacks, external tools, or exploits were used to unfairly accelerate progress. We want to guarantee that the grand prize goes to a player who achieved victory solely through skill, strategy, and pure effort.
To avoid disqualification, please pay close attention to the following guidelines:
Stream from the very beginning: Your livestream must capture your entire journey from the exact moment you create your fresh save file all the way until you successfully clear Tier 9. Missing chunks of gameplay will result in disqualification.
No webcam or mic required: You do NOT need to use a camera or talk on a microphone. Only your clean, uninterrupted in-game audio and video are required.
Enable VOD Saving: Crucial Step! Please double-check your streaming platform settings (Twitch, YouTube, etc.) to ensure that your channel automatically saves past broadcasts (VODs). Once you complete your run, you will need to submit these links in our Discord for our dev team to evaluate and validate your entry.
PC & Steam Deck Only: Due to technical verification capabilities, this race is strictly limited to PC (including Steam Deck) players.
Shipping & Sanctions Notice: Because our prize partners are based in the United States, we must comply with international shipping regulations and trade policies. Consequently, some countries under international sanctions or severe shipping restrictions will unfortunately not be eligible to receive the physical grand prize.
We want to send a massive thank you to our entire community for the incredible support leading up to the launch of Cursed War. This expansion is a labor of love, and we hope you all thoroughly enjoy the new content, biomes, and the brutal journey of Pajeú.
Fire up your streams, double-check your VOD settings, and show us what you've got. May the best Hunter win!
