Frozen Past APK v0.40 is an adult visual novel from Leonave built around an amnesiac protagonist trying to understand a near-future life that his own relatives are reluctant to explain. The story is less about action and more about recovering context through conversations, relationship choices, and events that gradually expose what happened before the protagonist lost his memory.
This NerveFilter listing currently provides the Android v0.40 package already attached to the page. The developer has since moved the project forward to v0.41, so the article has been refreshed to separate the version available here from the latest known project release instead of presenting the two as if they were the same build.
A Near-Future Story Built Around Missing Memories
Frozen Past begins with a simple problem: the main character has no reliable memory of his earlier life. The people around him clearly know more than they are willing to say, which gives the story its main tension. Progress comes from spending time with different characters, revisiting subjects after new information appears, and deciding how directly to push for answers.
The setting is described by the developer as near-future rather than science-fiction fantasy. That distinction matters because the original story is not about spaceships, time travel, or supernatural technology. Its mystery comes from personal history, family relationships, withheld information, and the consequences of learning things that may have been easier to leave buried.
How Progression Works
Frozen Past follows a visual-novel structure with route and relationship choices. Some scenes depend on how earlier conversations were handled, while later versions have added more control over which relationship paths remain active. The developer specifically noted in the v0.40.1 fixes that progression problems could occur when certain romance paths were rejected, and that update was intended to make those route choices behave correctly.
That makes save management important. If you are experimenting with different routes, keep manual saves at major decision points rather than relying only on a single rolling save. This is especially useful when moving between older Android builds and later releases.
What Changed Around v0.40
The v0.40 release was a substantial content update. Leonave reported hundreds of new renders, multiple animations, new scenes, and additional language support. Shortly afterward, v0.40.1 was released to address memory-related crashes, route-progression bugs, and various text issues.
One technical detail is especially important for returning players: the developer warned that saves created in v0.40 would not work with v0.40.1 after the game was rebuilt with a different Ren’Py version. Even though the Android file on this page remains labelled v0.40, that history is worth knowing before replacing an installation or trying to move save data between builds.
Current Project Status: v0.41 Exists
The project did not stop at v0.40. Leonave later released Frozen Past v0.41 in November 2025, and current update trackers list v0.41 as the latest known project version. That does not automatically make the Android file on this NerveFilter page a v0.41 package, however. The existing download attached here is still labelled FrozenPast-v0.40-Eng-release.apk, so the page title and App Information version remain tied to that actual file rather than overstating what the mirror contains.
If a newer Android package is added to this page later, the title, app box, file size, and changelog should all be updated together. Keeping those fields aligned is more useful than simply putting the newest project number in the headline while serving an older APK.
Android Build and Storage Notes
The current NerveFilter package is listed at roughly 782 MB and targets Android 5.0 or newer. Because Frozen Past is a Ren’Py-based visual novel, Android behavior can differ from the desktop release, particularly when save folders or package signatures change between ports.
Before installing over an older copy, back up any saves that matter. If Android refuses to update the existing app, the newer package may have been signed differently. In that case, uninstalling first may solve the installation problem, but it can also remove local save data, so backup should come first.
Why the Older Description Was Rewritten
The previous article included details about frozen wastelands, stasis pods, mutated wildlife, laboratory missions, voice acting, and other elements that are not supported by the developer’s own description of Frozen Past. Those claims have been removed. The game is better described as a relationship-driven visual novel about an amnesiac protagonist in a near-future setting, with the main tension coming from what his relatives know about his past.
The update also removes unsupported claims about automatic cloud-style save synchronization and broad localization features that could not be verified from the developer’s current material.
About the MOD Label
The existing NerveFilter listing uses the MOD label and that search positioning has been preserved. The external Android file itself does not provide a public technical manifest describing every modification, so this article does not claim unlimited currency, unlocked routes, or other features that cannot be independently confirmed from the file listing.
For other story-focused Android releases in the same category, see the Simulation section. Frozen Past is intended for adults, and the official project contains mature material.
