Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Simple but fun game play.
★★★★★ This game took us more than an hour or 2 but after we finished it, it felt like we finished it in minutes because of how fun and interactive it was, it wasn't easy that it was just communicating numbers and being done…
★★★★★ Not overly difficult but not too easy either.

Fast1%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Beyond the art, smooth movements, details, and storyline, it was all so beautifully designed rather than being just another generic copy n paste horror game.
★★★★★ Very good, but clicking out too fast can leave one doing trial and error.
★★★★★ Since we so use to play this genre of game, we do not have any problem to solve the puzzle, only there this one puzzle that need to take a turn in fast way and this puzzle really require a teamwork and patient.

What's new in 7.9.1.1

Thank you for playing The Past Within, we fixed some bugs in this new version!

Store description

Note: The Past Within is a co-op only game. Both players need to own a copy of the game on their own device (mobile, tablet or computer), as well as a way to communicate with each other. Play together with a friend or find a partner on our official Discord server! The past and future cannot be explored alone! Team up with a friend and piece together the mysteries surrounding Albert Vanderboom. Communicate what you see around you to help one another solve various puzzles and explore the worlds from different perspectives! The Past Within is the first co-op only point-and-click adventure set in the mysterious world of Rusty Lake. Features: ▪ A co-op experience Play together with a friend, one in The Past, the other in The Future. Work together to solve the puzzles and help Rose set her father’s plan in motion! ▪ Two worlds - Two perspectives Both players will experience their environments in two different dimensions: 2D as well as in 3D - a first-time experience in the Rusty Lake universe! ▪ Cross-platform As long as you can communicate with each other, you and your partner of choice can each play The Past Within on your preferred platform: PC, Mac, iOS, Android and (very soon) Nintendo Switch! ▪ Playtime & Replayability The game contains 2 chapters and has an average play-time of 2 hours. For the full experience, we recommend replaying the game from the other perspective. Plus you can use our replayability feature for a fresh start with new solutions to all puzzles.
