Description

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: Mac, PC and 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.

Another Great Game, I’m a happy little Vegemite!

I love all the Rusty Lake games and I am so excited there’s a new one! These are so much fun to play that I didn’t even hesitate, I just purchased it! This new one is a co-op, but if you don’t have anyone to play with, or don’t want to play with anyone, don’t stress…. you can still play on your own.
I downloaded the game on my old iPad and also on my new iPad, and am playing “The Future” on one and “The Past” on another. It’s like playing two Rusty Lake games at the same time!
Can’t wait to see what you have coming up Rusty Lake. Please don’t ever change, these games are epic! xx

Amazing!

Played it with my bestie and we played for about 2 hours over the phone, truly an awesome experience and well worth the money. Makes you use your imagination, and to learn how to describe things and communicate better. It was amazing. Definitely a fantastic way to bring people together 😊

Can there be a 1 player version please?

I was so excited to see a new Rusty Lake game, having played every single one. Downloaded this without reading the description, because after so many iterations I know the quality is good and don’t need to know the story line until I start to play.

Finally had time to sit down today and start playing to find out I have to play with another player, there is no option not to :(

Hopefully a single player version might be available in the future. Otherwise I look forward to the next instalment.

Hi! Sorry to hear that you didn't know that our new game is co-op only. You can always join our Discord to find a player to experience the game with, but we understand if you do not wish to do so! Please email us at support@rustylake.com if you prefer a refund, and don't worry, a new solo adventure is on the way! Thanks for your ongoing support!
