It looks like the Victoria tubes curve northwards west of the platforms;
if they didn't want the platforms to be curved, they'd have had to bulge
out more to the south of King's Cross, which maybe they didn't want - as
you, say, maybe there's an obstruction.
They head towards Euston, just like the circle line and northern line.
I'm not sure why they might look like they curve in that diagram, its
probably just an illusion due to the two running tunnels approaching
each other, after being far apart to fit the platforms in.

They *do* curve. The platforms are parallel to, but slightly north of,
the extended line of Euston Road (the south platform is in line with the
northern kerb outside KX). They curve right by about 30 degrees to cross
Pancras Road about 120m north of Euston Road, then back left again to
cross Chalton Street about 150m north of Euston Road, then runs parallel
to the Euston Road, south of Doric Way and under the plaza between
Euston station and the bus station.
