About This Game

A fading seaside town, a dark secret lurking beneath the waves, and a mystery that will test your powers of deduction... The Current Past invites you to untangle Saltbrook's stories and scandals. 

Solve the mysteries of Saltbrook Bay and learn what became of its inhabitants. Collect clues from an immersive, quirky environment and pop them into your trusty journal to unlock more perspectives and points on the timeline.

Use your powers of deduction to find out who everyone is, what they did, and why they did it. Tensions are high and not much is as it seems in this tight-knit coastal community. Unpick the truth behind each scene to access more vantage points to figure out the whole story.

  • Seek clues from a unique fixed first-person vantage point in a rich 3D environment

  • Follow a cast of extraordinarily ordinary folk who may not be what they seem

  • Unravel the mystery at your own pace, with a built in spoiler-free hint system when you need it

  • Immerse yourself in a lovingly crafted and detailed narrative

  • Pat yourself on the back for playing a game with no AI-generated assets

The Current Past is now in development, with Chapter One: The Committee coming soon as a playable demo.

Please support development by wishlisting the game, and stay updated on development as it unfolds.
