Dance of the Damned is an RPG with Puzzles and minigames. It tests both mind and body. Using memory and reflexes, you must guide your adventurers past many perils. As your characters regain their skills, it will slowly unlock new features. This game has innuendos and a few suggestive comments. But otherwise pretty mild. I also have a Deviant Art page with backstory and past adventures with these humorous and incorrigible misfits.

”Vincent's Jpurnal”
Date: Octenberg 25th.
"For weeks on end, our dreams were invaded, and the Curse of the Demore Mansion was upon us. The night terrors acted as both a summons and a warning. Enter the mansion or suffer madness and death, so like a moth to a flame, we were drawn. Each step we took seemed to leave a part of us behind. We begin to lose our identities, our skills, our abilities, and everything but our past, as if to taunt us so we can remember all that we have lost. The town of Demore had its own trials for us to help remind us of who we are. Although some of the tasks we were set upon were deadly, we were once again whole. Cannot a warrior recall how to fight without a battle? A thief to steal without a prize? A hunter to stalk without prey? We rose from the proving ground stronger than before, but would it be enough? We had just finished one gauntlet only to arrive at a far more dangerous one. The mansion itself loomed before us. We took one look back at the assembled townsfolk; they waved and shouted words of encouragement. Now that we know their secret, it was a cold comfort. They wondered if we would return victorious or become sacrifices for the Dance of the Damned."
