This Zelda-like puzzle adventure game is a throwback to the home-computer adventure games of the 80s, revived for modern audiences. Miss the days of old-school dungeon crawlers? Then you should play Dungeons of Dreadrock. Google Play Dungeons of Dreadrock Image used with permission by copyright holder The Past Within is an absorbing little adventure that’s well worth the $3 price of entry.

Though there are only two chapters, the game’s short two-hour play time can be extended by replaying from the other perspective or using the replayability feature to reset the puzzles with new solutions. You’ll both experience your environment in two different dimensions, in 2D as well as 3D, making this a unique experience. Set in the Rusty Lake universe, you must work together, one of you in the past, one in the future, and communicate your unique perspective and what you see to piece together the mysteries surrounding Albert Vanderboom. If you can’t find anyone to play with, you’ll find plenty of teammates on the game’s official Discord server.

This co-op point-and-click adventure can only be played by two people, so grab a friend - they’ll need a copy of the game and can play cross-platform on Android, iOS, PC, or Mac (and coming soon to Nintendo Switch) - and you’ll need a real-life way to communicate, too.
