## Description

The Past Within Lite is a 15–30 minute co-op adventure by Rusty Lake. In this Lite version, both players must own a copy to play, content differs from the full premium release, and cross-platform play is supported.

Choose between The Future or The Past to make memories with a friend and join the Cubical Device Beta program to see if you can connect the universes. Key features include puzzle co-op, cross-platform play, 15–30 minute sessions (with a possible switch of sides), and an atmospheric soundtrack by Victor Butzelaar.
