Past Pale 🎪 Explore, Uncover, Solve Together

The Game

A world that ran out of time.

Past Pale is set in The Remnant, a world gone past pale. Carney's, a forgotten carnival, sits above zones that descend into the dark. Nobody's home anymore, but it never went quiet: the Luminite glows, green fireflies drift toward the light, and something below is awake.

You scavenge scrap, repair dead machines and solve puzzles with your LS1000 robot and your friends — and piece together what happened here from lost photographs that develop as you find them.

Launch opens Zone 1 — Carney's carnival, the farmhouse, the barn, the greenhouse and the auto wreckers. It's the first chapter of a world that goes much deeper: new zones, each one further down, arrive as updates.

Zone 1 at Launch

The world died. Something remains.

Everything below is in Zone 1 when it launches.

Collect junk from scrap piles — nuts, bolts, wire, cable, leather, rope — fuse it into higher grades at the Workshop, and build the parts these dead machines are missing.

The LS1000 is with you from the first night. It scavenges alongside you and hauls its finds back to the barn — or take the controls and drive it yourself.

Play solo or with up to two friends. Activation costs and scrap needs scale to your party, builds go faster with more hands on them, and the puzzles stay exactly as clever.

Pick one of four survivors to start. Earn the others with tickets in the Shop.

Seven lost photographs are hidden around Zone 1. Each one you find develops into a piece of what happened here.

Hit the dunk-tank target, spin the prize wheel, stop the skill wheel dead on the jackpot, pop balloons with a slingshot. Win carnival tickets and spend them in the Shop on new looks for you and your robot.

Seeds come out of the ground with the Luminite, preserved and waiting for clean water. Eat a berry to work faster: Siftberries to strip scrap piles, Wickberries to draw Luminite, Dashberries to cover ground, Bilderberries for builds and repairs. Use a Bilderberry on a shared build and the whole crew moves with you.

Find keepsakes, feed them to the old medallion press with your scrap, and stamp engraved medallions — 30 designs across four metals, 120 in all.

Work out an environmental puzzle and a dead machine comes roaring back, opening a way through to the rarest scrap, memories and collectibles. Solve it and the payoff lands right there.

Three glowing pools in Zone 1. It's the spark that brings dead things back to life.

Past Pale is about curiosity, not fighting. Explore, build, discover.

No open text chat and no voice chat. Players talk through a short set of built-in phrases made for this game — enough to coordinate a puzzle.

Zone 1 is the surface. More zones lie below, each its own descent, arriving as updates — and your medallions, keepsakes, tickets and unplanted seeds carry down with you.
