One player immerses themselves in The Past while the other navigates The Future. With each perspective offering a blend of 2D and 3D environments, you’ll find that the clues and challenges are spread across two distinct dimensions. The cooperative design means that no one can solve the puzzles alone; instead, you must collectively piece together clues surrounding the enigmatic Albert Vanderboom and help Rose set her father’s plan in motion.

Beyond its immersive story and captivating puzzles, The Past Within stands out for its versatility. Its cross-platform play allows you to partner up regardless of whether you're on PC, Mac, iOS, Android, or soon on Nintendo Switch—perfect for playing with friends or finding a new co-op partner. The game features two chapters with an overall playtime of about two hours, but its charm is magnified by the option to replay the adventure from the alternate perspective, encouraging you to explore new solutions and uncover hidden details you may have missed the first time.

In summary, The Past Within offers a fresh twist on the cooperative puzzle-adventure genre by blending two worlds and ensuring that every player contributes to the unfolding narrative. If you’re ready to solve mysteries and enjoy a gameplay experience that’s as thought-provoking as it is engaging, this game is well worth your time.
