User Reviews

Players praise The Past Within for its strong co-op gameplay, challenging puzzles, and atmospheric, Rusty Lake–inspired art. The game is a bite-sized, well-crafted puzzle adventure about 2 hours long and reasonably priced, enjoyable to play with a partner and potentially useful for communication. Common caveats are endings that don’t meet expectations and a relatively short, replay-sparse experience. Fans also want more content, such as additional chapters or modes, in future releases.

Intriguing, challenging puzzles with an emerging story and lore
High production values: striking art/graphics, atmosphere, smooth movements and attention to detail
Good value and pacing: about 2 hours of playtime at a reasonable price

Cons

Ending may be unsatisfying or vary by choice, not meeting expectations
Short overall length with limited replay value
Desire for more content: more chapters or alternative modes requested by players
