About this game

Trail of Gods: The Cursed Island is a short, brutal action RPG told in pure 1-bit pixels. It lures you in with its stark beauty, then breaks you with its weight.

This is no endless grind. No filler. Every fight matters. Every item has meaning. Every death leaves a mark.

🔥 Features

1-bit style, 180x320 — harsh, hypnotic pixel art designed to burn into memory.

Weapons & armor change everything — speed, damage, charisma, even how NPCs treat you.

Enemies drop what they wore — kill, scavenge, adapt.

Bonfires & relics — fragile moments of safety in a world that wants you gone.

Replayable, compact design — finish in 1–2 hours, or master speedruns in 10–15 minutes.

🕱 The curse
The island is alive. It shifts with time. NPCs don’t repeat scripts — they act. Wind and chance alter your path. Nothing stays the same, not even you.

You will die. You will return. And with each cycle, the island reveals its secrets — until you find the one who built it.

🎮 For players who want:

The challenge of Dark Souls, compressed into minutes.

The surreal strangeness of Minit and The Eternal Castle.

A world that feels alive, dangerous, and personal.

This is not comfort. This is not safe.
This is Trail of Gods.

Ratings and reviews

the game is very short. took an hour maybe 2 at most. it can be difficult to tell what is and isn't a path at times. not much for sound effects. about 12 pieces of gear for weapon armor and helm. there is a bit of a souls like to it. every death you pick an upgrade. from more health, attack, speed, or defense. as for combat, you press your screen and hold and a white circle pops and you can attack. you can pick a direction if you want to, if you don't and your close enough it will automatically.

I really want to like this more than I do, it seems like a solid attempt at a stripped-down soulslike, but either the combat or the art style need some kind of overhaul. were the combat a little more responsive and accurate, the disorienting art style would be more forgivable, and if the art were slightly more defined, the fumbly combat would be more forgivable. simultaneously they make for a headache of an experience.

AMAZING! Extremely fun but very difficult. Love the Eldritch horror vibes and style and once you get the hang of combat, it's fun! Very unique in all aspects. Highly recommend if you aren't a quitter and enjoy difficult games like Dark Souls, Elden Ring etc. Definitely going to have to find a walkthrough for myself tho. Hope the dev makes another one or a DLC!
