About The Past Within
Team up with a friend to solve interconnected puzzles across two parallel worlds—one exploring The Past in 2D and the other The Future in 3D—where constant communication is key to unraveling the mysteries of the Rusty Lake universe. This co-op-only point-and-click adventure requires you to see the same spaces from completely different perspectives, making every puzzle a collaborative challenge that demands teamwork and perspective-sharing.
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 play
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.

very tough game1 found this helpful
I enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyed it so much1 found this helpful
this game was awesome and interesting
While extremely short, it is a very good game. If you like We Were Here and have a patient partner to play with, it's a slam dunk. Just be aware that you will beat it in 2-3 hours.
goo~ood
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh It's cheap
