Past Cure is an action indie video game. Played from a third-person perspective, the player controls Ian, a former elite soldier. Ian sets out to uncover the truth about military experiments that were done to him, which gave him special powers. Abilities include the power to slow time and astral projection. Ian, assisted by his brother, also tries to master his abilities. Ian goes to the criminal underworld where he uses his special powers to survive. However, every time he uses his powers, his mind becomes more detached from reality.
Development
Simon Gerdesmann, managing director of Phantom 8, said the idea to develop a game started from a pitch from a friend. While hesitant at first, he later decided to develop the game.[3] The development started in March 2016 with three video game developers; later the team expanded to six members in the middle of the development stage and by the end had grown to eight members.[3] Simon said that because of the eight people on the team, the studio was called Phantom 8.[3] The studio is an international team, with people from Turkey, Belgium, Egypt, Romania, England and North Macedonia.[3] The game is built in Unreal Engine 4. The inspirations for the game were Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.[3]
