The Past Within - Official Release Date Announcement Trailer
The Past Within wasannouncedback at the start of 2021. Your aim, and that of your accomplice, is to find out what mysterious goings on have befallen someone called Albert Vanderboom. He’s been important in the series, y’see. You don’t need to know anything about the other Rusty Lake games to play The Past Within. However, if you have played previous games in the series, then you might be intrigued to encounter some of Albert’s relatives during your time travel puzzling.
Crossplay is enabled for all versions of The Past Within, so you can play on your laptop while your pal rocks a tablet. The devs say you don’t even need an internet connection as long as you can communicate somehow. It’ll be a mixture of Morse code, semaphore and smoke signals for me.
The Past Within is out on November 2nd onSteamanditch.io. It’s also coming to the App Store and Google Play, and Nintendo Switch at a later date. There’s a demo if you want to give it a go now, too.
