Deliver Us the Moon vs Past Cure
Deliver Us the Moon
Deliver Us the Moon is a narrative-driven adventure game that’s set in the distant future where humanity relied heavily on energy generated by Helium 3 from its lunar colonies and then transmitted to Earth to power the world and to help combat the death throes of a resource-depleted planet. However, in 2054, everything went dark and any burning hope humanity might have had for its future was rapidly extinguished.Five years have gone by since that fateful day, and after long last, you are now mankind’s one last chance to not only find out what happened to the colonists, many of whom have family members back on Earth, and to also save the entire human race from its death spiral. Will you make it?
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!
