The Past Within is a good fun puzzle game to play with a friend, it's quite enjoyable! Different for requiring co-op, but it's a great entry in the Rusty Lake series. There are missable achievements and no checkpoints to go back to after you've finished the game, so it may be worth keeping an eye on a list of the missable achievements. Not hard to 100% though.
Wow, that was money well spent! I didn't see the time go by and had such a great time with my friend! Great game design, absolutely amazing project. We'll play some more to get 100% of the achievements :))
This game is such a fun take at co-op puzzles, the way I played this with my friend without being directly connected and still be able to see the same stuff at the same time is peak game design!! Thank you very much for this masterpiece!
