Granny vs Past Cure
Granny
Granny is a horror-themed escape game where you are given only 5 days to escape from the "house of horrors" that your apparently-psychotic granny kept you locked in. There are plenty of ways to escape. You can hide in wardrobes or under beds, for instance. It's entirely up to you to mix and match a selection of them so you can make your escape. Your granny also has superhuman hearing, however, and will come running the moment you drop something on the floor. This is something you can definitely use to your advantage in your plot to break out from the house.Being the exact opposite of the Hello Neighbor game, Granny is among the handful of horror-themed games that had made it big time on the mobile platform. If you love escape games that will get your adrenaline going, this is the best game to play.
Past Cure
Past Cure is a story-driven thriller/adventure game where you play as a Syrian ex-army veteran, Ian, who was kidnapped and subjected to horrific, and very much illegal, scientific experiments. As a result, Ian has gained superhuman mental capabilities, including the ability to conjure astral projections and use mind bashes to destroy objects, in addition to his already intensive military training from being a soldier. However, all of this comes at a terrible cost - Ian's mind is destabilized and only the effects of an experimental yet powerful drug called Blue is able to help him keep his mental demons at bay.Although the game contains game mechanics like shooting, melee combat (boxing) and stealth, Past Cure is still primarily a story-oriented adventure game. Progression here is pretty linear, as most single narrative games are, and there aren't a lot of depth when it comes to its game features, with the sole exception of its intriguing storyline and several puzzle-like scenarios. The atmosphere generated in the game is astounding though! The music, especially during creepy scenes, makes your skin crawl, and the game features plenty of brilliantly edited cutscenes with some cool cinematographic effects.
So, despite the negative reviews on Steam, Past Cure is a really well-made interactive experience, story-wise. However, if you're expecting anything else, such as a hardcore stealth-based game, then you might feel like the game's a huge let-down. At least now you know what you can expect before you purchase the game!
