The Past Within News

Less than 2 weeks left! Doing some final testing before the big day and we’re pleased to say The Past Within runs smoothly on the Steam Deck! 🤩

In the meantime, if you have any 🔥 burning questions 🔥 about the development process for The Past Within or anything else Rusty Lake-related, leave them in the comments below. We plan on closing out our Devlog series soon with a Q&A!

Soon you and someone you deem trustworthy: one in The Past, the other in The Future - will be able to set in motion Albert Vanderboom’s plan. Get ready to communicate, work together to solve puzzles and uncover the mysteries of The Past Within.

Pre-orders are also available on App Store and Google Play (you will be able to play cross-platform)!

The Past Within is a co-op-only game. Both players will need a copy of the game and a way to communicate with each other. Play with a friend, or find a partner on our official Discord!

Thank you all for your support!

📨 We have a message from The Future with some much-anticipated news 🗓️ 👀

We are ready to welcome everyone to The Past Within @ Indie Arena Booth 🤩 Find us Gamescom in hall 10.2, booth 38 🗺️



Feel free to stop by to play our best demo so far, grab some exclusive merch from The Lake, or simply say hi! 👋 Let’s make some memories! ♥️

If you can't drop by in person, make sure to check out our Online Booth in the Wastelands here: online.indiearenabooth.de Mr Owl will be waiting to welcome you! 🦉

Ps. We will give you an update on the release date very soon!

Our The Past Within demo build for Gamescom is almost ready! We cannot wait to showcase it at Indie Arena Booth next month! 🤩

Gamescom is our next big The Past Within milestone - we’re currently working on the replayability feature, the save system and testing translations. Ideally, we’ll have most of those features ready and implemented into the demo in time for the event.
After Gamescom - and the incredible playtesting opportunities the event will offer - we expect to have a very clear picture of what’s next!

Thank you all for your patience and we hope to see some of you at the event! 👀



[Update] We are excited to share that our Gamescom preparations are done!

Our Indie Arena Booth will be well stocked with Rusty Lake merch, postcards, stickers, and our new and very cool The Past Within pop-up cubes! ✨⬛️✨



We are located in Hall 10.2 and our Booth number is F020g-E-021g (easily recognizable with the blue carpet).
We will share more detailed information on the location of our booth next week! 👀
