CO-OP OFFLINE PUZZLE ADVENTURE – THE PAST WITHIN REVIEW
So in this review we have something special: The Past Within, coop game but it doesnt require internet connection. You will have to play it together with someone and solve the puzzles together helping each other from your own side. It have something in common with Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, in a way that communication is a key here.
How do you do multiplayer co-op without actually connecting players to each other? At the start of the game you will select your role. It can be Past, where you will be locked in a room, or Future, where you will use computer to solve the puzzles. Then you select the puzzle variation: Butterfly or Bee. And then the game starts.I will try to keep it as spoiler free as possible, but be careful, we thread on a thin ice. From this point you start solving the puzzles, and usually the result of the puzzle will be required by another player to solve the puzzle on their end. This way the game makes it possible to play coop, without actually connecting to each other using those checkpoints as sync points for both players.
