Adventure awaits, again!Curious Expedition 2 demo available now!Mar 19, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWe're incredibly thrilled to be part of the Steam Game Festival Spring Edition with a demo for Curious Expedition 2 — it will be available only UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK, so don't wait! This is the first time we're making the game accessible to a wider audience outside of the closed alpha we've launched last November, and we can't wait to hear your impressions. Before playing the demo, please make sure to wishlist the game, it really helps us by making it discoverable to more players: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1040230/Curious_Expedition_2/ Some important notes: This demo was originally created to present the game at festivals and conventions, such as GDC (before it got cancelled). Normally you'd play this with someone from our team next to you, explaining things if needed. We've included a small tutorial, but if certain aspects are still not clear (which might be the case, if you haven't played the original Curious Expedition), please be understanding! Each playthrough lasts around 10-20 minutes, but since the map is procedurally generated, we recommend playing more than once to experience different locations, events and items. Since the game is still in development (currently in closed alpha), certain features are not final yet, in particular regarding the user interface. All clear? If the demo got you interested, sign up for the CLOSED ALPHA on our website, it features way more content. Oh, one more thing: the original Curious Expedition is coming to consoles at the end of the month! Here's the new release trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUJRa27lEkc Have fun & take care!

Once limited to a browser-only test version, this week Rivals launched as a free update to the main downloadable game. Developers Maschinen-Mensch are offering a tantalising prize for dropping in, too – find a particular golden pyramid within its expanse, and earn early entry to the closed alpha for Curious Expedition 2. (more…) 19th century exploration rogue-like Curious Expedition gets free multiplayerNov 28, 2019 - EurogamerDeveloper Maschinen-Mensch enormously enjoyable rogue-like exploration adventure, Curious Expedition, might be getting on a bit (it released back in 2016), but it's just received a free multiplayer mode, previously available in browser-based beta, in its latest update. The gist of Curious Expedition, if you're unfamiliar, is that it's the 19th century and players, cast as daring adventurers, must embark on a race across inhospitable climes to find (ie. steal) exotic treasures in order to secure fame, fortune, and a footnote in the history books. What that equates to in practice is a compelling blend of board-game-like exploration across a procedurally generated hex-based map, and a text-based choose-your-own-adventure-style yarn. The ultimate goal each game is to score highest against the AI across a set number of expeditions, and to do that you'll need to purchase supplies and prepare a party - whose useful individual perks are usually offset by negative traits such as paranoia, misogyny, or racism, eventually making them something of a liability as things start to go wrong. Read more New content update: RIVALSNov 27, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHave you ever wondered what Curious Expedition would be like as a massively multiplayer game? Make sure to play the new RIVALS mode we launched today to find out!

Discover new regions and have your name and portrait remembered for all other players to see. Acquire prestigious badges with every golden pyramid you discover. Equip your trek with over 140 Expedition Crates to customize your playstyle and experiment with different strategies. But that's not all! Hidden away in this massive world, there's a golden pyramid. Those of you who'll find it, will get immediate access to the Curious Expedition 2 Closed Alpha on Discord! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/1040230/extras/teaser_tall.gif?t=1574183418 You can also sign up for Closed Alpha access here - we'll invite people who sign up in the coming weeks.

But that's not all! The original is on its way to consoles this year too. The first Curious Expedition launched in 2016 and casts players as late 19th century explorers, setting them loose across undiscovered climes in order to locate treasures then return home, where fame, fortune, and braying crowds await. What that equates to in practice is a compelling blend of vaguely strategic board gaming and choose-your-own-adventure-style narrative. Prior to an expedition, you're able to gather supplies and form a party. Then, upon arrival at your mysterious (procedurally generated) destination, it becomes a game of carefully managing your limited food and resources as you blunder across the hex-based map, encountering the likes of ancient temples, increasingly unimpressed locals, and deadly fauna along the way - the latter of which can be battled via a kind of dice-tossing mini-game. Read more Curious Expedition 2 ventures forth later this yearMar 4, 2019 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun German studio Maschinen-Mensch have announced Curious Expedition 2, a follow-up to the 19th century explore ’em up we declared our favourite roguelike(like) of 2016. The Explorer Clubs will once again be heading out into uncharted (by us) lands to uncover unknown (to us) civilisations and maybe meet a dinosaur or two along the way, inspired by Verne and Doyle and other such vintage sci-fi writers. Due to enter early access later this year, the sequel will bring a new art style and a refresh of the technoguts that generate stories and relationships. (more…) Curious Expedition 2 announced!
