Having a few references here and there is not a ripoff.
I do have to say, I've never played Curse, so I can't tell you about specific stuff, but unless it actually steals some large parts from the game (same story, same exact puzzles, stuff like that) it's not a ripoff.
And a wheel in the inventory looking the same is a reference, not a ripoff.
Next thing you'll say is if a game has a chicken with a pulley in the middle, it's a SoMI ripoff. (Although I will admit it would start leaning towards ripoff if it's used to go across a cable without even a hint that it's a reference :P)
You guys have obviously not played Curse before. I'm not saying the story or puzzles are the same, but they've copied the entire Curse engine and put their game over it.
Someone who has actually played Curse please watch the video and you can clearly see how many similarities there are to it.
Or maybe you guys are just overreacting to the term "ripoff". Does similar do it for you? Seriously, stop being pathetic about termonology.

I really don't see how you can judge when you haven't bothered to play Curse before, I recommend you do play it however
I did play Curse. The only similarities are the art style (and not entirely too), and I guess the interaction 'wheel'. Though that's hardly enough to call it a 'ripoff' or even 'incredibly similar'.
