Dark Past is evolved around trying to emulate "spiritual" entity experiences. Explore different houses, use different equipment to identify the entity types.
Exorcism
Attempt to get rid of the entity.
Lose Control
During your investigation you might lose control over your player.
Multiplayer
Play alone or in a group of up to 4 players. More teammates means a higher chance of success when venturing into larger haunted locations.
Speech Recognition
Dark Past will allow you to use your microphone to interact with the paranormal entities but only for a Ouija board.
Proximity Voice
Be prepared to communicate with your team using the in-game proximity voice.
Character Customisation
Customise your characters as you see fit.
Various Entity Types
There are several entity behaviour profiles. Each entity will have a randomized type (Shadow, Poltergeist, Demon etc), set of evidence to collect, and behaviour.
Difficulty
Currently 3 levels of difficulty, each level changes the outcome of what's to come!
