The Past Within is the co-op experience from Rusty Lake!
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.

awesome
- Richard Brand · v7.9.1.1
a fun unique atmosphere. the minimalist art tone really help create this world i was drawn into by imagination. Really nice to see the creativity and sense of unease in the sound effects and deliberate music. the way communication skills are the charm and root to cooperation. the Eureka moments between the players can be great. truly worth the experience. Recommending this if you enjoy puzzles and atmosphere with communication building and teamwork. Hope to see more amazing things like this.

Loved this so much!! Thanks guys 🧡 I'm a huge Rusty Lake fan, played every game. I would love to see more co-op games in the collection 😁
- Red Robin Rainbow · v7.9.1.1
The game is great and i enjoyed it. Great ambience and puzzles. However, they should add more progress checkpoints so that players dont get desynced, especially in chapter 2 and the cubicle.
- Emir Sehovic · v7.9.1.1
Amazing game, love all Rusty Lake series! Highly recommend this one as well
- Leonid · v7.9.1.1
perfect thank you for the game

i enjoyed pkaying it with my husband,10/10
- Wiam Moutai · v7.9.1.1
The game is very engaging, as rusty lake games tend to be, But I expected it to take longer to solve! I was looking forward to hours more.
- Harry Ayres · v7.9.1.1
It took me a long while to play this game because I didn't have anyone to play with. Duh, I downloaded on 2 devices and played both. Disappointed in how long it took me to realize I could do that, however this game was amazing and it was well worth the wait! The storyline was super cool and I'm excited to see where Albert and Rose go from here. The puzzles were just hard enough and switching between the graphics of the past and future added its own challenges to the single person gameplay.
- Deanna Waldo · v7.9.1.1
Best game ever I chose past and my friend chose future and we completed this game within 2 hours we will swipe a roles to future for me to past for friend.
- Somsiddhanta Chakraborty · v7.9.1.1

One of the puzzle is faulty, whether i played in the bee or butterfly, the arrows in the painting acrylic doors all pointing at twelve o'clock...
- Chendya Oktavia · v7.9.1.1
The best puzzle game I've played so far. It's sooo good and worth buying.
- Mac Fermin
fun game to do with a 2nd person.
- Trevor Premack · v7.9.1.1
did this with my 7 yr old and it helped describing things and using ideas. a fun game for me
- Michael Coursey · v7.9.1.1
the first chapter was great! really enjoyed. However, we decided to come back to chapter 2 another day and the game completely glitched and couldnt progress. The only solution would be to restart and lose progress and have to do chapter 1 again. it took too long the first time and really didnt want to redo chapter 1 so just gave up. There needs to be a way to skip chapters so that if glirches like this happen you could at least skip ahead rather than waste time redoing something already done.
- Hannah Brunt · v7.9.1.1
It was so amazing. I only wish that there were more stories to play. One is just a tease.

dope ah game
- vng3lbvby · v1.4
fun to play with my girlfriend. decent 2 to 3 hours of communication puzzles. Definitely can be done without screen peeking but I cheated a couple times. worth the 2 dollars if you want a puzzle game to play with your partner or friend
- Chris Mott · v7.9.0.1
for 3.5 euro its an amazing and fun puzzle game that you can finish in 1.5 or 2 hours. If you're looking for a nice and sweet way to pass the afternoon with someone special, I'd definitely recommend it.
- Yellow Dinosaur · v7.9.0.1
fun, well made
- Vic C · v7.9.0.1

We played this fun and well crafted game over three days. As our communication improved, so did our problem solving. Can’t wait to play the other version. This game is a bargain.
- ShadowRoch · v1.4
peak gaming experience found a funny to play it in da discord
- Agim Xhak · v7.9.0.1
I played multiple of 2 player co op games with my friends. This game took us more than an hour or 2 but after we finished it, it felt like we finished it in minutes because of how fun and interactive it was, it wasn't easy that it was just communicating numbers and being done nor was it too difficult where we couldn't comprehend what the other was doing. All while having each player do their own searching of what they need to find on their own. Definitely hope that rusty lake makes more of this.
- Yazan · v7.9.0.1

Absolutely LOVED THIS. FAVORITE OUT OF THEIR COLLECTION SO FAR!!
- Rissa Strong · v7.9.0.1
Always love the games made by rusty lake. This was so fun playing co-op. A longer gameplay than I expected and a cool concept. I found the puzzles to be less difficult than in other games, but it was fun going through it with another person.
- Naliah_ · v1.4
i would have lived to play the game because i live all the rusty lake games in the pas but i cant do co op on my device. i dindt realize it was co op until I started the game. could I get a refund?
