    I’ve played the game before and now I played again with the new patch 1.05 and complete it from a couple of hours and I must really say it makes the game much better! With the changes you have more horror sections and the boring areas are removed. The gameplay makes now more fun ^^ New abilities are also handy. The bed voice acting it’s almost remove only in the prison level it’s stillI’ve played the game before and now I played again with the new patch 1.05 and complete it from a couple of hours and I must really say it makes the game much better!

    have been removed but there are still a few that do not look so good. It is really great that the developers have made the effort and published a very good patch! :)    … Expand

    I was surprised I enjoyed the game where it has been improved now. Clearly the graphics and cutscenes are still not really good but thanks to the great variety the atmosphere and interesting story some potential. I was also impressed that with so few people and little money can make a game like this... alone for that I give a big plus!

    I heard the new patch made the game much better, therefore I bought it. It is a nice game and its a lot of fun. It has some really good ideas and I like the variation of the game play, but there are some bugs in the riddle of the new patch and other small bugs. But in the end I like it very much and I hope to see more improvements.

    What a great new patch it makes a solid game after that :) I like the changes with the
    new areas and puzzles. I also like the new astral projection abilities. Rebalanced sanity meters also nice if you arrived at zero then the puppets will chase you which gives a new dynamic in the gameplay with the normal opponents. Something I do not like so much

    the first level is not really fun to many opponents and not enough ammunition and
    unfortunately the last level did not changed also the boss fight :/    … Expand

    I enjoyed the game very much, but then again I am able to judge a game on its own merits, rather than the merits of games I think it should be more like. It has its flaws, but I do not think that they detract from the game too much.    … Expand

    Fu**ing 8 people have making this game!!??
    with a minimum budget!!??
    Respect.
    Past Cure is a nice little indie genre mix game,
    remind's me of sillent hill and max payne.
    looking forward for the developers future.

    For an indie team (8-9) the game is good. The graphics are good and the game play is decent.

    I’ve read scarier issues of the Beano in this clunky, buggy mess of a wanna be Deadly Premonition.

    Past Cure is many things: technically infuriating, a slog, and thematically inconsistent. While one can appreciate the effort of a small team trying to craft a game that does many things, it can't seem to do any of them well enough to warrant any attention. With a glut of better games that tackle similar elements on the platform, it's very difficult to recommend Past Cure to people, even as a quick diversion.

    We find few reasons to recommend Past Cure. It is quite far from what is expected of a video game: having fun with it.
