Smiglee's Statues: The Cursed Curation
A short first-person narrative horror simulator about cataloging and restoring museum statues while uncovering unsettling inconsistencies.
In this 30 minute narrative puzzle horror experience, you finish the last tasks of the day inside a crudely beautiful, retro-inspired museum restoration shop.
Thousands of years of history surround you — documented, tagged, and ready for return.
Except for one statue.
...When the other workers stood near it, they felt cold. Uneasy.
He had to admit, he didn’t remember seeing it before.
I guess it’s up to me to clean and catalog this statue tonight, thought Mr. Smiglee.
Gameplay
Examine and catalog artifacts: Physically interact with objects throughout the shop, review documentation, and update records as inconsistencies begin to surface.
Restore damaged pieces: Clean, repair, and prepare statues for shipment using hands-on interactions.
Photograph your work: Capture archival images and inspect them closely — some details are easier to notice in a photograph than in person.
Let's just hope that finicky circuit breaker doesn't give out!
