Note: The Past Within is a co-op only game. Both players need to own a copy of the game on their own device (mobile, tablet or computer), as well as a way to communicate with each other. Play together with a friend or find a partner on our official Discord server!
The past and future cannot be explored alone! Team up with a friend and piece together the mysteries surrounding Albert Vanderboom. Communicate what you see around you to help one another solve various puzzles and explore the worlds from different perspectives!
The Past Within is the first co-op only point-and-click adventure set in the mysterious world of Rusty Lake.
Features:
▪ A co-op experience
Play together with a friend, one in The Past, the other in The Future. Work together to solve the puzzles and help Rose set her father’s plan in motion!
▪ Two worlds - Two perspectives
Both players will experience their environments in two different dimensions: 2D as well as in 3D - a first-time experience in the Rusty Lake universe!
▪ Cross-platform
As long as you can communicate with each other, you and your partner of choice can each play The Past Within on your preferred platform: PC, Mac, iOS, Android and (very soon) Nintendo Switch!
▪ Playtime & Replayability
The game contains 2 chapters and has an average play-time of 2 hours. For the full experience, we recommend replaying the game from the other perspective. Plus you can use our replayability feature for a fresh start with new solutions to all puzzles.

Version 7.8.03
DifficultHate itLove itI love this game series and the story behind it. My only issue is with the controls in the future with chapter 2. It's hard to leave certain screens at times where I end up getting frustrated and just mindlessly tapping to try and get off it. A little back arrow like everywhere else I think would help

Version 7.8.03
Hate itSpendingStrenuousnessIt was interesting and the puzzles were fun and simple. I went into the game not knowing its a little creepy/scary but still enjoyed it. Graphics was simple, was kinda disappointed at how quick the game finished especially since i bought it and i dont normally pay for games.

Version 7.2.1.0
AudioDifficultFamilyLove itI did enjoy it. I love the fact you need someone else to play with to progress thru the puzzles. Although... it is difficult to find someone that isn't expecting you to play through in one sitting or would accept playing over dm instead of the voice chat (some of us have kids and that makes that difficult!!) I can see that voice chat would be faster and more efficient, it's just not feasible for all. Good job Rusty Lake!! can't wait to try the other perspectives
