Comments on The Past Within for Android

★★★★★ Jessi Ng · Jul 26, 2026
Another exceptional game by Rusty Lake. I've supported these guys with every game and this game is just as mesmerizing, I really enjoyed playing it with my partner! We need more of these co-op games please!
★★★★★ hila tafaghodi · Aug 8, 2026
Absolutely loved it! I played with my sister who lives in another country, and It was a lot of fun. I love rusty lake! But I wished it was longer. It was over too soon. I hope they make more co-op games like this. <3
★★☆☆☆ Hannah Brunt · Aug 29, 2026
The first chapter was great! Really enjoyed. However, we decided to come back to chapter 2 another day and the game completely glitched and couldn't 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 didn't want to redo chapter 1 so just gave up. There needs to be a way to skip chapters so that if glitches like this happen you could at least skip ahead rather than waste time redoing something already done.
★★☆☆☆ Chendya Oktavia · Aug 31, 2026
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...

Description by Rusty Lake Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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.
