About
The Past is a story-driven psychological horror and thriller game. Can you solve the events and the mystery underlying the game, which is about the reflection of the events that happened in the past to the present day of a 21-year-old university student named Enes?
What is happening now
The Past is an indie title that launched on PC in early 2023. Recent coverage has focused largely on heritage gaming revivals and expansions to established franchises rather than direct updates to the game itself. Gremlin Graphics, a storied developer, is being revived as a heritage label with new projects in the pipeline, while The Witcher 3 continues to dominate conversation with its upcoming Songs of the Past expansion slated for 2027 - though that DLC will have platform limitations at launch. Modders have remained active supporting aging titles, restoring cut content and enabling new ways to experience classic games across various systems.
