My Story: Choose Your Own Path vs Past Cure
My Story: Choose Your Own Path
My Story: Choose Your Own Path is an interactive story game where you can choose your own narrative by picking the dialogue option that you like the most during, usually, a pretty critical moment in the game. Your choices will affect the course of the storyline, determining your relationship with the friends in the plot, your popularity as well as who you'll be able to date. Similar to games like Choices or Episodes, you get to personalize your character and choose a fitting hairstyle and clothes.The only downside though is that updates are a bit slow in this game. A new chapter for a story you like may take months to arrive. Not to mention, some players have suggested that the game might want to add more options for players to earn free diamonds and tickets, and this, in turn, may point out that the game may be a bit pay-to-play... as in, you'll need to spend real money to buy premium currency if you plan on uncovering the the actual deeper version of the story rather than the skim-the-surface one.
All in all, My Story: Choose Your Own Path is incredibly similar to Choices and Episodes in so many ways. Fans of the latter games might enjoy playing this one as well.
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!
