“The game spends way too long on the tutorial and the levels, leaving huge gaps of time between plot advancement.”

Critic Reviews
Past Cure Review – Presently Diseased
So awful yet so boring that one can neither get too mad nor fall asleep, Past Cure is simply a Frankenstein of poorly implemented, cliched ideas and story beats.

I’ve read scarier issues of the Beano in this clunky, buggy mess of a wanna be Deadly Premonition.
30%Past Cure Review – There’s No Antidote for Overambition
Past Cure is a bizarre experience. It feels like a half-dozen different games crudely stapled together, most of which are bad. Yes, the game is ambitious, it reaches for the triple-A brass ring, but the end product is unfocused, unpolished, and, for long stretches, exceptionally boring. Past Cure? More like Past Bedtime.
