Verho - Curse of Faces is a Dark RPG in the tradition of the King’s Field series. It is set in Yariv, a land scarred by a curse that makes revealing one’s face instantly fatal. Masks emerged as a symbol of safety after humanity endured 264 years of isolation.
The journey centers on finding the source of the Curse of Faces and confronting the dangers there. The game frames that search as a choice: seek to lift the curse from the world, or harness its power for your own ends. The origins remain mysterious, giving the expedition a clear investigative purpose.
Verho’s distinctive premise turns concealment into a condition of survival, while its post-catastrophe setting gives the search for answers a broader human stake. Its King’s Field lineage places it within a tradition of dark RPGs, but the curse, the protective masks and the player’s competing goals define this adventure’s particular identity.
