Cursed Mountain is set in the late 1980s, due to the lack of technology available in the time period. The entire course of the game takes place on a fictional mountain in the Himalayas named Chomolonzo, which the natives call 'the Sacred One'. The protagonist, Eric Simmons, is searching for his lost brother, Frank, who was hired by Edward Bennett to retrieve a sacred artifact called a terma. The goddess of the mountain became angry, and she bestowed a powerful curse upon Chomolonzo, trapping Frank and everyone who could not escape in time. The storyline of the game is heavily influenced by Buddhism and Tibetan folklore.

Tamara Gorge in AlbaniaThe erosion of the Prokletije mountains by glaciers left many telltale features behind. Deep river canyons and flat valleys wind around the ridges of the mountains. The largest and most popular canyon is. It is situated in Kosovo and is 25 km (16 mi) long from the border with Montenegro to the city of and is 1,000 m (3,281 ft) deep. It has very steep vertical mountain slopes on both sides.Valleys common at lower altitudes are also found at the alpine level, creating mountain passes and valley troughs. The most well-known valley to be high up in the mountains is Buni Jezerce in Albania.

Buni Jezerce means 'Valley of the Lakes' and it contains six small glacial lakes, the biggest being called the.Canyons in the Prokletije.Valleys in the Prokletije. Panorama of Thethi mountains in Albania.A recent report from geographers at the details the discovery of four previously unknown glaciers in the Albanian part of the Prokletije range at 1980–2100 m high, found in the area close to Maja e Jezerces. The glaciers, the largest of which is currently the size of six football pitches, vary in size every year according to the amount of winter snowfall and temperatures during the following summer. Their average total surface area is 5 hectares (0.019 sq mi).

Glacier-climate modeling suggests that these require annual accumulation of between 4,137 and 5,531 millimetres (162.9 and 217.8 in) (rainfall equivalent) to balance melting, which would correspond to between 49.7 and 66.4 metres (163.1 and 217.8 ft) of snow. A significant proportion of this accumulation is likely to be sourced from windblown snow and, in particular, avalanching snow. It is estimated that the total accumulation needed to balance melting is potentially up to twice the amount accumulated from direct precipitation. The presence of these glaciers, the southernmost in Europe, at altitudes well below the regional highlights the importance of local controls on glacier development. The geographers think at least eight glaciers were present in neighbouring mountains during the 19th century, correlating with the culmination of the ' in the European Alps. Ancient forests around GjeravicaThe vegetation of the Prokletije is among the richest on the Balkan Peninsula and one of the main central European regions for. To date, 1611 wild plants have been described in the Albanian part alone.

In total, 50 flora species are endemic, sub-endemic and endangered plant species. The southern edge of mountains have a sub-Mediterranean character. Various bushes are found in the deepest valleys of the canyons and sunny slopes, and in the higher valleys Shibljak shrubs are common. In the mountains over 100 medicinal herbs are found, including species of the genus Primula, Satureja and Sideritis.

Because of its altitude and its favored habitat, the range is one of the centers of of the Balkan Peninsula. Out of 77 arcto-alpine species of former glacial flora on the Balkan Peninsula, a little over 50 species can be found in the Prokltije.The levels of vegetation in Prokletije meet the level, from upland valleys through the montane mountain stage on forest-free alpine and subalpine mats and subnivale tundra caused by in vast heaps of rubble with raw soils. A real snow level is not widely spread, although in the high altitudes snow and fern fields can also keep during the summer on four very small glaciers at high altitudes, the highest one found in the shade of Jezerca., and silicate spruce forests dominate the mountain areas. Rarely, however, the Northern Europe species are found, typically the Pinus sylvestris. The drought-resistant Mediterranean-sized Pinus nigra is also common. Populus tremula grow in damp sites alongside Acer pseudoplatanus and Picea abies. The Prokletije is one of the southernmost areas where grow in Europe.

The 'combat zones' of the forest are formed with dense thickets of Pinus mugos. Conifers like the snakeskin pine are on rocks and the Pinus peuce of silicates are typical elements of the endemic Balkan flora. These are of special interest for natural history. A cushion-sedge and blue grass lawn of Seslerion juncifoliae grows in alpine areas and, on shallow limestone soils, Oxytropidion dinaricae, to which the alpine grass krumm grows as in the. Other plants include Alpine aster, edelweiss and white mountain avens. These plants are atypical alpine plants specially adapted to the short growing season, UV radiation, cold and thin soils.The flora in the rocky areas of the Prokletije are particularly noteworthy, because they are rare rich and endemic species, including the relic Amphoricarpos neumayeri. Many species of flora are either or are mainly found in the Prokletije.

A plantain plant Plantaginaceae is found in the central Prokletije as a variant of the alpine Wulfenie, but 700 km away it does not grow. Petasites doerfleri is only found on the Jezerca peaks, and the Albanian lily Lilium albanicum and Viola ducagjinica are only found at the top of the slope. Also noteworthy is the Viola vilaensis Hayek. Viola chelmea belong to a violet species that occur on the Montenegrin-Albanian border area, especially at the lake Bukumirsko Jezero at 2,100 meters, and are only found on and the Balkans where they can grow due to woody, robust rhizome, cleistogamous flowers, and a lack of foothills. The Prokletije is also the only European area where the Tertiary relic Forsythia europaea grow.

Years later mountaineers also scaled the summit. Many explorers and scientists have visited the Prokletije, collecting rocks and samples to display in museums.Before any of these expeditions, the highest peak of the range was believed to be at 2,407 m (7,897 ft) high, followed by at 2,570 m (8,432 ft). By early summer 1929 all the summits were measured by Italian geodetes.National parks.

Valbona River in Valbona Valley National ParkThere are three national parks in Prokletije—one in Montenegro and two in Albania. A fourth national park has been proposed for Kosovo. The in Albania was designated in 1966 and covers an area of 2,630 ha (10.2 sq mi) along the Thethi River. The main attraction in the park is the Grunas Waterfall.

The in Albania was also designated in 1996 and covers 8,000 ha (31 sq mi) including the Valbona Valley and the. This park is also referred to as the Gem of Albania. Kosovo, Albania, and Montenegro are planning to create another tri-state park in the area, that will be called Balkanik Park of Peace.There are plans to create the enlarged Albanian Alps National Park of Albania, which would include areas of Vermosh, Thethi, Valbona and Gashi River in a massive area of 86,000 ha (330 sq mi).

The park on the Kosovar side would include an area of 50,000 ha (190 sq mi), covering the high alpine areas as well as the and important rivers. The Montenegrin part of the Prokletije range was declared a national park in 2009, comprising an area of 16,000 ha (62 sq mi).A part of mountain was declared a floral mountain reserve in 1955, covering an area of 25 ha (62 acres) of mainly,. In the same year the Kozhnjar area was declared a fauna reserve in particular to protect the chamois, covering an area of 161 ha (400 acres).Illegal deforestation is still a major problem today. To some extent even the national parks are affected. In dry summers are common. All the large mammals including wolves, chamois, foxes, and wild boar are hunted without regard to national park boundaries. Settlement, economy and transport.

At the edges there are some settlements: the Albanian and the Montenegrin in the west near the Skadar Lake; and in of the northern valley of the upper river in Montenegro and, the main town of the district, in the eastern Prokletije. Even the somewhat more distant, larger cities of, and create their sphere of influence and are frequently visited by inhabitants of the highlands for errands, administrative procedures and market sales. Serves as a transport route for ferriesIn the mountains themselves villages only have up to a few hundred inhabitants. They are often scattered settlements without a clear core. Among the biggest are Tamara and Selca, both in the valley of the Cem and belonging to the community of the. The community of eight villages – including Vermosh – comprises 6,600 inhabitants.

Tamara is currently the only place in the central mountains with infrastructure such as a secondary school. Tamara and Vermosh share a maternity hospital. Until the collapse of communism there were such facilities, for example, in the Shala Valley. Many residents of the villages in the interior such as Boga, Theth or Valbona live there only in the summer months, as the villages are cut off for many weeks during winter.In addition to the seasonal migration, the whole mountain area is suffering from a severe ', as its income from agriculture is low. Many leave to seek work and a little more comfort in the region of Shkodra and Koplik, or abroad.

As the year-round population dwindles as the terrain becomes less accessible, there are few state or local government employees such as teachers. Local income comes from agriculture, semi-illegal forestry and tourism.In a few places like tourism has been revitalized by recreational hiking. With the help of, 40 private houses (also referred to as guest houses, or han in Albanian) have been transformed into tourist accommodations or B&Bs. In 2010 there were 130 beds available in total – 100 more than in 2007. Additionally, hiking trails have been marked and trails maps and travel guides published.

In the period from 2006 to 2009, the number of tourists rose from 300 to around 7,500 per year. Unlike in the rest of Albania, the increase was due to foreign tourists. Lakes such as Plav and Hrid also receive many tourists during the summer months. In many villages there are small power plants that supply the village with electricity.Many villages were already settled by the 15th centuryand some valleys have been inhabited since the.
