Part 3 of The Curse continues Matteo’s story after the events of the previous chapters. This section focuses heavily on exploration, maze navigation, puzzle solving, and survival mechanics involving hostile entities.
This guide walks through the entire progression in the correct order so you can complete the chapter without getting stuck.
Starting Area — Enter the Church and Find the Passage
The chapter begins outside a church that was previously locked in earlier parts of the game. The chain blocking the entrance is now gone, allowing you to enter freely.
Inside, you must locate your family tombs. Interacting with them reveals hidden clues and activates a secret passageway behind the graves.
This passage leads into a dark underground corridor, marking the start of the main gameplay section.
Maze Section — Follow the Correct Path
After entering the corridor, you will encounter a narrow maze filled with dead ends and jump scares.
To progress safely, continue moving forward while avoiding unnecessary turns. Staying on the main path eventually leads to a sequence of scripted hallucination events involving Sophie.
Once the hallucination ends, you fall into the sewer area, transitioning to the next stage.
Sewer Area — Follow the Officer’s Recording
Inside the sewer, you will find audio recordings from a police officer investigating the mansion. Following the path ahead while listening to the recordings leads to a flooded underground zone.
This area contains environmental storytelling elements and introduces the next puzzle system.
Continue moving forward until reaching the cathedral section.
Cathedral Hall — Collect Memory Books
The cathedral hall contains multiple locked doors and altars. Progression requires collecting special memory books scattered throughout the area.
Each book represents an emotion such as grief, sadness, anger, or fear. Once collected, these books must be placed on matching altars to unlock new areas.
Exploring carefully allows you to locate all required books.
Weeping Angel Maze — Survival Mechanic
One of the most difficult sections involves navigating a maze filled with statue enemies known as weeping angels.
These enemies only move when not being watched. Maintaining visual contact prevents them from advancing.
While moving through the maze, keep turning frequently to monitor the statues and avoid direct contact.
This section must be completed to retrieve additional books.
Unlocking New Areas with Altars
After placing books on the correct altars, new doors open within the cathedral.
Continue exploring these unlocked areas to find additional memory fragments and keys.
Eventually, this process leads to a hallway containing Matteo’s past memories and story revelations.
Key Acquisition and Final Maze Exit
The final altar sequence rewards you with a key required to unlock the next major area.
Returning to the cathedral hall and using the key opens access to a large building connected to Matteo’s father.
This marks the transition into the final stage of the chapter.
Father’s Office — Power and Demon Encounter
Inside the building, exploration leads to Matteo’s father’s office. Here, you must locate circuit breakers to restore power.
While searching, a demon entity begins hunting you. Lights flickering nearby indicate the demon’s presence.
Avoid staying in dark areas and interact quickly with breaker switches to restore power.
Elevator Escape Sequence
Once power is restored, activate the elevator to escape the building.
The demon continues chasing during this section, so move quickly between rooms while avoiding direct contact.
Successfully reaching the elevator triggers the final escape sequence.
Ending Scene and Chapter Conclusion
After escaping via the elevator, the chapter ends with a cutscene and a teaser for future story developments.
The narrative hints at deeper connections between Matteo’s family, Sophie’s family, and the cult responsible for the curse.
Completing Part 3 requires careful navigation, patience during maze sections, and awareness of enemy mechanics. Remembering puzzle clues and keeping track of book locations prevents unnecessary backtracking.
Maintaining visual contact with statue enemies and reacting quickly during chase sequences are the most important survival strategies.
