Really though, let us remove all abstraction; every character in every game is cursed to live out the same linear narrative ad infinitum.

A real hell or at least insanity--by definition.
Monkey Island.
The devil goat in Goat Simulator!
Practically every character in the Warcraft universe is cursed/corrupted at some point.

think you are going a bit too deep there
Samson, from Beyond the Beyond. His story arc is why so many people don't like that game.

Not true at all, just look at Toy Story. When we are not looking they all have a life of their own. Solid Snake owns a bar on the beach in Vice City, Duke teaches literacy at Skool Daze etc.

GR00T: Your player character in Mask of the Betrayer suffers from a curse early on in the game.
I'm downloading... thanks for the suggestion!
The curse seems to be a important part in the plot, that's definitely a plus!
From what I've read, you can even decide to use the curse to do evil things or not, depending on the type of character you want to be.

ScotchMonkey: Shinobi in the PS2 entry.
Thanks, but my Playstation 2 is broken.

dtgreene: One could also look at SaGa Frontier 2, where one of the main characters, Gustave, has what I would classify as a disability; in a common magic setting, he is unable to use magic, and that fact is crucially important to the plot.
Dang, it's PSX exclusive, how lucky I am.

tinyE: I'm not sure about the exact nature of the term cursed here but I'll throw out Shadowman and EVERYONE in the entire LOK series.
I'll have a look, thanks tinye.

lepke1979: Probably not what you're looking for, but TOME has a Cursed class
Interesting.
It was not exactly what I was looking for, but the game is free. It can't hurt giving this a try, I may like the game.

Does amnesia count as a curse?
Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor. The protagonist is cursed and so is the spirit he works with. I really liked how it got tied into the LotR lore.

Also in Ys: Origins, the hidden character that you play after beating the game once is cursed and that is the character that gets you the real last boss and acts as the canon narrative.

Also in some ways, the protagonist in the Baldur's Gate games is cursed.
