The first multiplayer Rusty Lake game is here, and it's very good.
One of the most intriguing demos I played during the Steam Next Fest back in February was. It's an asymmetric co-op puzzle game set in the deeply weird world of Rusty Lake, which until now has been exclusively a singleplayer realm. Despite the move to multiplayer, The Past Within retains all the hallmarks of the series, including unsettling music, creepy narration, and simplistic yet somehow deeply disturbing graphics.
To be clear, the co-op angle is mandatory: You either play with someone else or you buy the game on two separate devices—say, your PC and your phone—and use them simultaneously. Rusty Lake said in a Q&A onthat The Past Within was originally intended to be a singleplayer game, like the other entries in the series, but early testing of a 3D puzzle box with a peephole gave developers other ideas.
This is also Rusty Lake's biggest game ever, involving a core team of eight—previously the studio only had two members—and various freelancers and helpers who brought the total to more than 25 people"that have been working relentlessly behind the scenes."
