A roguelike game set in the 19th century. The Curious Expedition combines elements of adventure, strategy, and action role-playing games. We assume the role of the head of a scientific expedition that searches for legendary places such as Atlantis or El Dorado. Our party can consist of such famous 19th-century scientists as Karol Darwin, Nikola Tesla, or Marie Curie. Each of them works for their own reputation and uses a unique weapon.

The Curious Expedition is a nineteenth-century roguelike production for PC and web platforms, combining elements of adventure, strategy and action RPG games. The independent German studio Maschinen-Mensch is responsible for its creation.

In the game we are at the forefront of the title research expedition to discover places such as Atlantis or El Dorado. The maps are generated in a procedural manner and divided into hexagonal fields, and the way they are explored resembles the model known from the Civilization series. When you reach an interesting place, the game switches to the perspective typical of adventure games. During each expedition we come across villages inhabited by local tribes, with whom we can communicate and trade. In search of fame and, of course, treasures are disturbed by various traps and curses, hidden in mysterious ruins or temples. We will also face various opponents, such as wild animals (including dinosaurs), crazy cannibals and zombies and other grotesque creatures.
