Ratings and reviews

Pretty good. It's really similar to We Were Here on PC, and I think, Android needs more CO-OP games like these. But one thing is that, from atleast the demo, the guy from the future doesn't have much to do, or move around except using the monitor. I think he needs some more exploration. I've played every Rusty Lake game to date, and this one is pretty cool.

I really liked this, but there was a glitch in the future portion where the screen goes dark randomly. The first time it happened I was trying to put the floppy in the computer and after I took care of the darkened screen the floppy disk item disappeared. Had to restart the game and click through to get back to that scene. It happened a couple more times but nothing to inconvenient happened because of it. Definitely look into it, 'cause it can give you a hard time if it's during a cut-scene

This demo certainly doesn't entice me to pay money for the full version. It says it will take 20 minutes but we did it in about 5? We were surprised when it just suddenly ended. My husband chose the future section and he said he didn't have very much fun. We swapped and he said the same thing. It was less solving puzzles and more giving each other instructions. I want more Rusty Lake lore though. I wish this co-op could have been implemented better.
