The Curse of the Frozen Gild is a haunting tale that has been passed down through generations. According to the legends, there was once a wealthy kingdom that was known for its prosperity and abundance of gold. The kingdom's rulers, the Gild family, were said to possess the power to turn anything into gold with a single touch. However, their wealth and power became their downfall when they became consumed by greed. The rulers started transforming everything they touched into gold, including their loved ones and even themselves. The curse was born out of their insatiable desire for wealth and their unwillingness to let go.

This is the finest work of IF which I have played since Trinity, bar none.
Curses is perhaps the most "literate" work of IF to come along in years. I really cannot say enough good things about this game, so you have no choice but to go out right now and get a copy for yourself. You are an aristocrat who is preparing to go on vacation in Paris. All you want to do is find one lousy tourist map which you KNOW is in the attic somewhere, and then you're off. Sounds easy, right? As the story unfolds, you'll find yourself immersed in one hell of an adventure that spans both place and time. You'll also find numerous puzzles ranging from simple (not many of those) to difficult (lots) and hair-tearingly frustrating, spread across the years from ancient Egypt to the present. And you will find literary allusions, references to historical events and legends, and a family history that literally meanders all over the map, but remains centered about the ancestral Meldrew Hall in England. Mercifully, Curses manages to be original in its puzzles, which will depend in large part on the history that you can uncover with the help of a few references (some of which are even included in the game). Clues to these puzzles can come from surprising sources, that appear at first to be unrelated. The game's on-line hint system has been personified in the form of supernatural agencies--alas, the hints present are rather cryptic, and if you can't figure out a puzzle from the hint, there won't be any more hints. These agencies also may not recognize some puzzles you want to ask about, which can be frustrating. Release 12 of the game expands its map and puzzles in many ways over previous versions, which makes this game even tougher and more frustrating. If you can beat Curses single-handedly on this version, then you may accredit yourself a most accomplished gamer. If not. Don't feel bad, almost everyone else had to ask for help.
Overall, Curses is a modern masterpiece in IF that is a must play for anyone interested in the genre, especially IF experts. Remember: examine everything, twice!

supported by 27 fans who also own “Curses, Spells, Voodoo, Mooses” A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi. that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer go to album

The curse was said to have frozen even the sun itself, leaving the entire kingdom trapped in eternal darkness and cold. Legends claim that a brave adventurer ventured into the cursed kingdom in search of a solution. It is said that this hero managed to break the curse by finding the source of the Gild family's power - a special golden medallion. By destroying the medallion, the curse was lifted, and the kingdom was freed from its frozen state. The tale of the Curse of the Frozen Gild serves as a cautionary reminder of the consequences of unchecked greed and the destructive power it can wield. It is a reminder that wealth and power, when pursued without regard for others, can lead to ruin and despair. Though the Curse of the Frozen Gild may be nothing more than folklore and myth, it continues to capture the imagination and serve as a cautionary tale for generations to come. It reminds us to appreciate what we have, to value relationships over material possessions, and to be mindful of the potentially destructive consequences of unchecked greed..
Reviews for "The Frozen Gild Curse: A Tale of Greed and Malevolence"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really looking forward to "Curse of the frozen gild" but I was sorely disappointed. The plot was predictable and clichéd, with no surprises or twists. The characters were flat and one-dimensional, making it hard to connect with any of them. The dialogue felt forced and unrealistic, and the pacing was incredibly slow. Overall, I found the movie boring and forgettable.
2. John - 1 star
"Curse of the frozen gild" is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. The acting was horrendous, with wooden performances from the entire cast. The special effects were laughably bad, and the set design looked cheap and tacky. The story made no sense and was full of plot holes. I can't believe I wasted my money on this garbage.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Curse of the frozen gild" based on the trailer, but sadly it didn't live up to my expectations. The film lacked coherence and failed to establish a clear direction. The editing was jumpy and disjointed, making it confusing to follow the story. The cinematography was mediocre at best, and the soundtrack was forgettable. I was left feeling underwhelmed and dissatisfied with the overall experience.
4. Mike - 2 stars
"Curse of the frozen gild" had all the makings of a great supernatural thriller, but it fell flat. The plot was convoluted and poorly executed, leaving me scratching my head. The character development was weak, and I never felt invested in any of their journeys. The scares were predictable and lacked originality. The film attempted to be atmospheric, but it just came off as dark and dreary. I was left wanting more from this film, and it ultimately left me disappointed.
5. Lisa - 1 star
I couldn't wait for "Curse of the frozen gild" to be over. The pacing was incredibly slow, and I found myself bored and disengaged throughout the entire film. The screenplay was poorly written, with cringeworthy dialogue and zero character development. The scares were cheap and relied heavily on jump scares, which lost their effectiveness after the first few. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time watching this movie; it's a complete letdown.
