## About Curious Expedition

Curious Expedition is a strategy roguelike released in 2016 by Maschinen-Mensch, set in the late 19th century where players lead expeditions into uncharted territory. The game employs a campaign-structure with procedurally generated content, featuring explorer-customization and party-management alongside resource-management and risk-reward-decision-making that shapes every choice. Players explore a hex grid representing uncharted wilderness, making tactical decisions matter throughout each run. Reviewers highlight how the game creates atmospheric tension between careful planning and dangerous chaos, while players describe the tone as whimsical despite the challenging difficulty. Historical figures and dinosaurs populate these expeditions, with hidden-content and alternate-dimensions adding to the replay value. The game supports online-coop for shared expeditions and runs approximately 1-2 hours per session. It currently holds 87% positive reviews on Steam at $14.99, and is playable on Steam Deck.
