This is a really cool idea, and I wish I could have gotten further in playing it! I found it a bit difficult (which I think was the point), but it would have been cool in my opinion to have it start off easier. Maybe one round with no curses, for example. Another interesting idea could be if curses could be helpful in some cases, but still make you more out of control, so it doesn't just feel like you're getting worse as you progress.
