itch is not acting against https://delusriaa.itch.io/curseofdares and having that malware impostor crap still indexed even. i suggest you tell itch in no uncertain terms what you think of their service. and maybe leave a report on that game as well. maybe their automated system will take it down if enough reports come in, since they are amateurish enough to not work on weekend, when their users are hacked the most. and yes that crapp was reported several days ago, when there was no weekend.
why would you install a game from an obvious impostor account in the first place. in case you mistook the link i posted for the link you are on, look again.
in case this thread does not get removed, as a caution to all reading this:
you cannot trust scanners. least of all the ones itch is using. no positive scanning result proves nothing.
please use some sort of sandbox mode to execute games from untrusted sources. being hosted on itch is not a trusted source. not even when the game links to socials of the original developer. those other socials need to link back and also need to be genuine.
so to anwer your question about proof, it is by deduction.
there are two curse of dare projects. one uses a misspelled username. one uses a repacked file. one is paid. one is free.
so there are a few possibilities what this could be.
simple piracy. but why impersonate.
scamming for donation money. retrieving the money takes time and is risky.
distributing malware.
the original developer released the game twice with different accounts.
itch was contacted almost a week ago. they sit on those reports or they ignore them or they do not believe them. maybe they listen to you. or others reporting the fake.
to tell the truth i did not even know the original was on itch too. but games hosted on dlsite do not appear here on itch as a free full game, just like that. when itch did not remove it from index after several work days, i wondered why the impostor did not use the correct spelling...
so i hope this is not some plot twist, and there are two impostors, since you do not link to dlsite, but the fake project does. ;-)
I see, well it's suddenly gone now. So imposter #1 wins. >:P
Also good idea with the linking dlsite part, just threw that link on this account and I'll look into dlsite's policy on linking other storefronts to here tomorrow so I can get these accounts to point at each other.
Was fun, now for the next stage there is only one thing to do ~~Bigger and 100% save day huh?~~ 1 Edit:Wish the abilities would better describe what they do tho, clap was easy to understand, so was flicker and more whisps, but the rest was a bit confusing 2 Edit: How do you get the character to be visible in normal gameplay?
Thanks! There will be another update on the way after Salvor's release.
If you mean the breast expansion art being visible in normal game play, I don't have a way for that to stay on yet but I could add that to the To-Do list. 👍
Very good game, but u can stuck if u choose wrong gray door, and add a kind of map cause map big and u can easy get lost. Also waiting for gallery pls. Campfire also works weird, sometimes they work sometimes the don't.
Thanks! I added some keys and moved some things around in an update I'll be finishing tomorrow, gallery will most likely be out sometime after Salvor's release.
This game is amazing! Only two things I'd suggest. The grey doors are weird. Sometimes they require keys, sometimes they don't. So my first, I suggest adding more grey keys because it is VERY easy to be soft-blocked and restart the game. If you choose to open a grey door, but that room doesn't have a key? Boom, the map is locked. And finally, you should add a gallery for all the scenes and models.
Congrats on the release, the game was really nice. We're starved for breast expansion games, especially for ones that are not just visual novels. Love the art both in this one and the other upcoming project, I just would have liked to see more art as in the portrait pictures. If you plan to open a patreon I'll surely subscribe!
Thank you! I hope you'll like my next project when it releases as it will have a lot of pictures. Currently brainstorming all the perks I should put on patreon, maybe that can be the place where people can vote on which projects should get updated next.
Yes! Just to throw some ideas: voting on the next scene/theme that gets added, accessing preview arts and early builds; the highest paying tier could allow to choose a character/scene that gets added once per person. If you create a game discord you could lock some channels behind the patreon subscription and post some of the perks there and also stream some of the art process from time to time.
The brown doors can only be opened from one side, they're sort of like general progress doors making the map easier to traverse. While the grey doors can be opened with keys.
Uh oh I have no idea how to test mac stuff, since it is confirmed to work on the demo at least lets start there: When you click on the "Curse of Dares" file in the "Demo Mac Build\Inner Folder.app\Contents\MacOS\Curse of dares" directory does it not open at all or is the file maybe looking blank to begin with?
Edit: Also does mac block the application in any way? Currently getting all the files reverified on Win but it gives me a warning before letting me play.
Currently it's saying "the application 'inner folder' cannot be opened" when trying to launch the application, typically it'll block it initially since it's downloaded online but that message doesn't pop up.
It seems certain file executables need an extra permission to be set before they can run. Not sure why yet, but that might be something I need to look into later.
The original idea was to make EVERY feature an ability.
Like an ability that increases her height, butt size, thighs, facial expression, etc. But due to my current financial situation I only had time for one feature.
If I come back to this concept in a sequel then I'll definitely be overhauling everything and adding a TON.
I don't what I've done but I have succeeded in getting the demo to glitch: she takes damage but there comes a point where she becomes invincible and the milk gauge no longer shows at the bottom of the screen... Ghosts just approach her, they die, and she automatically collects the milk... (Yes, I did get her "serviced" by the ghost. Maybe that helps cause the glitch?)
Beyond that, questions:
What is the half-orb at the top right of the screen?
What are the "+30% screen" and "+1 screen" upgrades for?
In the demo I didn't have a death state done yet, so death is just in the full version.
The half orb at the top right is the amount of wisps that are coming in to attack you, yellow means under 10, red is over 10 and 4x spawn rate and black is over 100 with 40x spawn rate
The 30% screen is the fire rate of the screen attack (that single ball that flings out forward) while the +1 screen is the amount of balls you fire forward.
And you would be correct about the chest size limit, I think its like 1.25 or something in the demo.
This is a pretty decent game. I gotta say that Im so tired of the visual novels games under the breast expansion tag, (they arent terrible but you could only do so many) that having BE in any other game type is such a breath of fresh air. This is definitly a start, and I hope you continue to make games like this. Of course though I seen your rent situation and wish you good luck!

shame on you, itch, shame on you!
(NOTE this here is the original. the link above is the impostor. just look here https://itch.io/search?q=Curse+of+Dares it STILL shows two of them)
do you have proof that it's malware? if so i'd love to see it because i don't want to install it then
why would you install a game from an obvious impostor account in the first place. in case you mistook the link i posted for the link you are on, look again.
but i shall edit the posting to clarify.

something else.
what would you pick?
Wow I had no idea of this game, I'll try to get in contact with itch.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

It looks very good, but I can't play this game because I don't accept PayPal or credit cards.
Do you plan to register this game on Steam at some point?
Thank you, and I do plan on it, most likely sometime after the 2nd project's release.
Was fun, now for the next stage there is only one thing to do
~~Bigger and 100% save day huh?~~

Nice, may she gloriously grow
Please tell me this is getting another level, she mentioned the mansion at the end?
There will definitely be one more level added 👍 (not the mansion yet though). The level is currently scheduled sometime after Salvor's release.
MAC BUILD HELL YEAH! (I'll let you know if it works or not)
EDIT: Oh it works alright, played through the whole demo, had a whale of a time. Keep up the good work!
Sweet thanks! Full build will be out soon.
Very good game, but u can stuck if u choose wrong gray door, and add a kind of map cause map big and u can easy get lost. Also waiting for gallery pls. Campfire also works weird, sometimes they work sometimes the don't.

Thank you! Hoping to get a rebalance out tomorrow, and the gallery will be most likely finished after Salvor comes out.

will the actual game be free or not
Yea sorry about that, the URL is a bit misleading. The full version is available on the 5$ threshold.
Aside from a few small content and balancing updates that I want to do it is generally complete.
went and bought it but whats the difference between the brown doors and the grey doors? they seem to at random need a key and don't need a key
The brown doors can only be opened from one side, they're sort of like general progress doors making the map easier to traverse. While the grey doors can be opened with keys.
any mac port plans
Sure I'll see what I can do
mac port should be good to go now
Wow, so soon! That's sick haha thank you
Unfortunately seems the mac build isnt working for the demo or full version, at least for me
Uh oh I have no idea how to test mac stuff, since it is confirmed to work on the demo at least lets start there: When you click on the "Curse of Dares" file in the "Demo Mac Build\Inner Folder.app\Contents\MacOS\Curse of dares" directory does it not open at all or is the file maybe looking blank to begin with?

Could this be the problem? (at 0:32)
It seems certain file executables need an extra permission to be set before they can run. Not sure why yet, but that might be something I need to look into later.this shows so much potential, a Vampire Survivors style game where upgrades make the character expand is such a good idea
Thank you!
The original idea was to make EVERY feature an ability.
Like an ability that increases her height, butt size, thighs, facial expression, etc. But due to my current financial situation I only had time for one feature.

Beyond that, questions:
In the demo I didn't have a death state done yet, so death is just in the full version.
Great game, but I keep softlocking myself, can you maybe post a walkthourgh to get all the ghosts?
Good idea! I'll let you know when I finish and upload the walkthrough!
Also where are you getting softlocked? I'd like to fix that problem too.
I can't figure out the right order to use my keys, so I'm unable to open doors that give more keys and can't progress.
I see, here's the link to the walk through, thanks for playing the game btw!
you may just want to add some spare keys around the map, its really easy to run out and not be able to unlock any more doors
This shit very nice. I'd comment a bit more on it but I'd rather do that over discord if you got one. Or just via dms, that'd work too
Thank you! And sure thing, I could do dms if you want.
This is a pretty decent game. I gotta say that Im so tired of the visual novels games under the breast expansion tag, (they arent terrible but you could only do so many) that having BE in any other game type is such a breath of fresh air. This is definitly a start, and I hope you continue to make games like this. Of course though I seen your rent situation and wish you good luck!
I appreciate it! Right now the idea is to throw a bunch of different game ideas at the wall and see what sticks.
If any succeed then I'll either be making a sequel or throwing a ton of new mechanics and of course art into them.
Promising! I would have passed over it if I hadn't seen the breast size difference in the thumbnail, though; consider adding the breast-expansion tag!
Great idea! I didn't even know there were more than the provided tags. Def need to add that to all my games now,
Sorry for the super late reply, I'm still figuring out how email notifications work here :)
Any plan for a mobile port?
Sorry for the super late reply! For some reason I'm not getting emails anymore for comments. :/
But I'll see what I can do with mobile ports!
Awesome!
What's the gameplay?
The gameplay is basically Vampire Survivors, but with more exploratory-type levels. I uploaded some gifs to show it in a bit more detail.
Alright. I'm a fan of that style, so I'll give it a whirl.
Okay, gave it a try.
The art's decent. The gameplay needs improvement
Different "weapon" options would be great. It's also too easy-I tried to lose. I could not.
