Just when you can't tell whether you're at the edge of the desert or its center, you wander into a ghost town. A cart stands at a crossroads, out of place in all respects, but you ain't one to complain on an empty stomach. You stumble up to its window, desperate for something to ease your pain...
Cures & Curios is a virtual reality game for the HTC Vive set in the Weird Old West. In this mystical take on the American frontier, the player toils in an old-fashioned medicine show cart in the center of a small pioneer town called Pueblo Pequeño.
