Play Past & Present co-opWhat is Echo of the Hourglass?
It is a low-poly puzzle-platformer set in a world frozen between seconds. You guide Kael through environmental puzzles using a pendant that can rewind movement but cannot refund spent energy.
Can I play online with a friend?
Yes. Past & Present is a private two-player online co-op mode. One player controls Present and the other controls Echo; each role changes the route available to the other.
Do I need to install the game or create an account?
No. The game runs directly in a modern desktop or mobile browser. Starting the solo game and creating or joining a private co-op room require no account.
What controls does the game support?
Solo play supports keyboard and touch controls. Local co-op supports two players on one keyboard or touch surface, while online co-op gives each player controls for their own role.
