The philosophical sci-fi adventure Ghost of the Past is in development for PC via Steam and is scheduled to launch in Q4 2026. Developed by Last Axiom, the narrative-driven title is now available to wishlist, offering a story-focused experience centered on choice, consequence, and existential themes.

Set on a desolate Mars, Ghost of the Past follows Captain Adam, a seasoned Star Fleet veteran who returns to the red planet to confront a decade-old mystery. What begins as a controlled investigation quickly collapses into survival horror when his ship crashes, leaving him isolated and pursued by an unseen force that appears to know his past intimately. As Adam explores abandoned facilities and studies unexplained anomalies, the line between investigation and psychological descent steadily blurs.
Gameplay emphasizes exploration, environmental analysis, and decision-making rather than direct combat. Players rely on scanning tools, recorded logs, and puzzle-solving to piece together the truth hidden beneath Mars’ surface. Choices play a central role, shaping both the narrative path and its outcome, with multiple endings reflecting how players respond to guilt, responsibility, and the pursuit of forbidden knowledge. The story gradually shifts from a sci-fi mystery into a meditation on fatalism, memory, and whether some truths are better left undiscovered.
Last Axiom positions Ghost of the Past as a reflective experience designed to linger beyond its conclusion, with replay value rooted in radically different narrative outcomes. Further updates, including potential demo information, will be shared via the game’s Steam page as development continues.
