User Reviews

The Past Within shines as a strong co-op puzzle experience with immersive art and sound, and clever puzzles that reward teamwork. It’s a good value at about $3 and captures a true escape-room vibe, ideal for playing with a partner either locally or remotely. However, it requires a second player (and two copies), which can be a barrier, and several reviews note the game is relatively short with potential for more chapters.
Pros
  • Excellent two-player/co-op experience that emphasizes teamwork and shared screen play
  • Immersive atmosphere with striking, stylish artwork and an unsettling, immersive sound design
  • Smart, well-crafted puzzles that are challenging yet solvable and rewarding
  • Great value for money at the $3 price point with a satisfying play session length
  • Distinct escape-room feel that translates well to mobile and works well with long-distance friends
Cons
  • Requires a partner to play and cannot be enjoyed solo
  • You must buy two copies to play, increasing the overall cost
  • The game is relatively short and many players wish for more chapters or longer gameplay

The design of this puzzle solving game is INCREDIBLE. We couldn’t have solved the puzzles without being able to look at each others screens- the game was made up so well. So creepy I jumped a couple of times. Beware. This game will have you hooked you won’t be able to put it down!
