What is next?
Since the release, we have received a lot of comments regarding Past Cure's gameplay, story, features that pushed us to listen to these and come up with some changes which changes the gameplay. Below are some of the points we have highlighted, some in the direct form of the statement:
- Gameplay and some levels are repetitive and boring.
- Superpowers are not fun
- Bosses are not fun, smart and can easily be cheesed
- Forced stealth section, this is 2018
- The game lacks a little bit of "Oomph" to it
We will be addressing these issues with a major patch that contains radical changes to the gameplay. To compliment these changes, there will be tweaking or overhauling the levels, bosses and AI.
More updates will follow highlighting some of the upcoming changes.
Thanks everyone for their support and their criticism that pushed us to take action.
