Action Stealth Shooter Past Cure by independent studio Phantom 8 reveals gets new story trailer
The young Berlin based independent developer Phantom 8 Studio today revealed the story trailer of its first game, Past Cure. Past Cure, a 3rd person action-stealth shooter, will be available on the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and via Steam for PC.
Past Cure is a single-player game that neatly combines stealth elements with dynamic action sequences and stunning graphics. The fictional world of Past Cure is set in two different dimensions, the gritty real world and the abstract dream world – a concept that will remind fans of the Hollywood blockbuster INCEPTION. Throughout the development process of Past Cure Phantom 8 focused on realistic combat animations, challenging puzzle mechanics and a detailed storyline, which completes the overall gaming experience.
Past Cure follows the highly decorated ex-elite soldier Ian and his chase for the men who once betrayed and transformed him. For years, Ian had been the subject of secret human trials, held in a dark prison somewhere in Europe. The experiments left him changed. Ian developed powerful skills such as mind control and telekinesis, but paid the price with his sanity. Each time he uses his powers, the madness inside him grows. This madness is fully revealed in his dreams - and now stretches its claws to reality. With the help of his brother Markus and the mysterious double agent Sophia, Ian pursues the men in the shadows as he takes on Eastern European cartels, secret organizations and unscrupulous scientists. He also encounters an adversary who does not seem to be of this world.
The innovative Berlin Studio Phantom 8 consists of an ambitious team, who have made it their goal to pursue new directions in game development. Through experience in modern 3D scanning and motion capture technologies, Phantom 8 is clearly different from other independent studios and relies on strong partners and technology providers like 3Lateral, Cubic Motion, Metric Minds and Take1. Thanks to 3Lateral, known in the industry for high quality face scans and rigs, Past Cure will be one of a handful of games that utilizes their new effective method of face rigging.
Budget David Cage like game. Seems like a 6/10 so far, but the somewhat interesting story motivates me to play a bit more until I finish it or get bored.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
Finished... I regret playing it. The gameplay is mediocre (the initial puzzle-y segments gave me hope, alas they didn't last long) and the story never resolves itself. 4/10, skip.

Played both the official Steam demo and ISO for a while (until it was time to press the inevitable shift-delete), it is bad indeed. A low-budget heavily cinederpmatic third person hand-holding simulator based on a pretentious narrative, and sporting all the consolized sins from popAAAmole titles including abysmal one-button stealth, nonexistent AI, QTE-ridden combat with slow-mo and "shooting" for toddlers, there truly is no Cure for this
