About ARETIAS: Cursed Island
THE ISLAND REMEMBERS
A journey that begins in a remote village on Türkiye’s Black Sea coast leads you to an island abandoned long ago. What appears to be a forgotten place is still holding on to the traces of a disturbing past.
Guided by a mysterious mentor over the radio, you must explore the island, follow the clues left behind, and uncover the truth behind its curse.
REVEAL WHAT CANNOT BE SEEN
Not every clue is visible to the naked eye. Use your camera to reveal hidden signs, discover objects concealed within the darkness, and find the path forward.
Pay attention to photographs, notes, environmental details, and the unsettling changes happening around you.
EXPLORE THE CURSED ISLAND
Travel through dark forest paths, abandoned wooden structures, a forgotten cemetery, underground caves, and ritual sites hidden across the island.
Each location contains another piece of the story—and brings you closer to the presence that still remains there.
BREAK THE CURSE
Find the scattered bones, solve environmental puzzles, and complete the ritual required to release the island from its past.
There is no combat to save you. Your only tools are observation, exploration, and the courage to continue.
