Our take on Dark Past

Microphone interaction receives attention, but its stated use is limited to the Ouija board. The main play loop is more specifically an investigation cycle: explore houses, gather evidence with equipment, identify an entity, and attempt an exorcism.

What is Dark Past?

Dark Past is a psychological horror game about investigating paranormal activity in different houses.

Players use equipment to determine an entity’s type, collect evidence, and attempt an exorcism. Entity profiles include randomized behaviors, evidence requirements, and types such as Shadows, Poltergeists, and Demons. Investigations can be played solo or with groups of up to four, with larger locations intended for more teammates. The game includes proximity voice communication, character customization, and microphone-based interaction with entities through a Ouija board. Investigators may lose control of their characters during a session. Three difficulty settings alter what happens during play.
