The game will be available on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via each Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.
In Curse of Asmodeus, players will step into the shoes of Josef Petrescu, brother of Vlad Petrescu from the previous game Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness.

The game takes players through an asylum haunted by dark forces, where they must decipher cryptic clues, solve complex puzzles, and avoid deadly consequences. The narrative unfolds across multiple timelines, each with its own set of locations, leading Josef through crucial revelations that touch on his tragic past. As the story progresses, players will confront the traumatic demons of Josef’s history in a desperate bid to defeat Asmodeus and lift the curse that has plagued the circus.
Diego Cánepa, the lead designer at Indiesruption, shared his thoughts on the upcoming release, sharing:
Vlad Circus: Curse Of Asmodeus drags you into a sordid world of mirrors and shadows where the infamous demon lurks. Brave souls who dare to take on this macabre adventure can expect sheer terror while solving brain-bending puzzles and twisting narratives, each with their own dark secrets and shocking revelations.
