About the Game

You are a soul. Well, you (you reading this) are a soul, but that's besides the point. 

But you - in Past Spirals to Present - play the game as a soul who exists in a dimension between earthly incarnations. 

You (the game you, not you you) are ready for your next life on earth. Before you can incarnate, you need to remember your past lives so that you can intentionally plan your next life based on gaps or lessons you've still yet to learn.

To assist with this exercise of preparation, you will visit the Interdimensional Museum: a building whose contents reflect the past lives of whoever enters. As you tour the museum, you will encounter artifacts, displays, and dioramas that communicate critical moments from your past lives.  

The artifacts will prompt you into memories from their respective lifetimes, and as you respond to the memories, you will slowly remember your soul persona across earthly incarnations. 

The museum will tell you when you've remembered enough, and will reveal your next life to you. 

Key Features:

  • 2D narrative exploration through a beautifully crafted museum

  • Multiple-choice dilemmas that reflect on past life decisions

  • Multiple endings determined by your reflections and choices

  • High replayability – discover different past lives and future incarnations

  • Contemplative storytelling about reincarnation, morality, choice, and the human condition
