The Past Within is an upcoming point-and-click adventure that takes place in both the past, and the future
Rusty Lake, a Dutch game studio known for making 15 escape the room and adventure games that all tie into the bizarre Twin Peaksy Rusty Lake universe is pleased to announce their next point-and-click adventure. Titled The Past Within, Rusty Lake’s new endeavour is a co-op and mysterious puzzle-based adventure. The game is set to release next year.
The goal for you and your friend is to solve the puzzle surrounding a mysterious man named Albert Vanderboom. The Past Within not only delves into the past but also takes a peek into the future. And such a task is too daunting to do alone. So, to piece together this mystery, you will need a friend, who will be an ally to help you solve each puzzle.
Being a co-op game, communication is key. You and a friend will need a copy of the game and you must communicate by either being in the same room or via phone or chat. Even when together, will still be apart as one player explores the past, while the other, the future. Each of you will solve intricate puzzles in different surroundings, and all of this will lead to the discovery of Albert Vanderboom’s plan.
Rusty Lake is also upping the ante by creating a very unique experience for players by providing a dual perspective, not just in terms of time, but also space. The Past Within’s environments will be in two different dimensions – both 2D and 3D. This new style of perception is a first in the Rusty Lake universe.
Your friend and you also needn’t be on the same device to play The Past Within together. The game supports complete cross-platform and players on PC, Mac, Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch can play together without any hiccups or compromise on gameplay.
This mysterious point-and-click adventure, The Past Within, is set to hit the virtual shelves by Q2 2022.
