The Past Within How to Solo Play
Warning: This game has been designed to be played with a co-op player. Doing things this way is going against the intended way to play. And as such will make the game experience worse for you. You have been warned!
Step 1: Buy one copy of the game
You only need one copy of this game to make this work. So buy the steam version of this game and download it. Run the steam version of the game and when it is running click on the gear icon in the top right.
In the settings menu you will need to turn off “Fullscreen mode”.
Step 2: Setting up the second windowed version of the game
Now go back to your Steam library and right click on the game “The Past Within” in the drop down menu click on Properties.
In the new window click the tab “local files” in the left hand menu and then the button “Browse” in the top right.
This should open up the games local directory window. Here you can click on the game “The Past Within” to open up the second window of this game.
Step 3: Just play the game on two windows.
On one window make sure to play as the past and the other window play as the future. Also make sure to pick the same puzzle setting (Butterfly or Bee) on both windows.
When playing the game on one window the other will be paused. So timed puzzles will be easier to do.
