A cursed reimagining of the classic Hangman game — where each wrong guess pulls you deeper into the abyss, and each correct guess reveals fragments of a dark fantasy tale.
This is not just a game. It’s a ritual.

• Animated navigation with arrow keys (↑ ↓ Enter)
• Options:
  • Begin the Ritual (start new game)
  • Reignite the Curse (play agian)
  • Read the Curse (instructions)
  • Blood Stained records (high scores)
  • Abandon Hope (quit)

• Easy → Easy words & hints
• Medium → Trickier word bank
• Hard → Words designed to end you

• Correct guesses reveal the lore of a forbidden curse.
• Wrong guesses summon the animated hangman drawing with ASCII art.

• Typewriter effect for suspenseful dialogues.
• Dark-themed ASCII art for wrong guesses.
• Banner-like ASCII reveal for achievements or victories.

• Credits section styled as The Summoner’s Journal.
• Score saving in scoreboard.txt.
• Cross-platform terminal handling (Windows/Linux).
