When the Past was Around

When the Past was Around is a poignant adventure point-and-click puzzle game centered on themes of love, moving on, and letting go. Follow Eda, a young woman lost in her dreams and relationships, as she journeys through a surreal world filled with memories and emotions. Guided by The Owl, she uncovers secrets of love and heartbreak through brain-teasing puzzles in disjointed rooms.

The game features stunning hand-drawn art by renowned Indonesian artist Brigitta Rena, telling the story visually without words or dialogue. Players experience a short, whimsical narrative accompanied by evocative violin music that captures moments from serene to angst-filled. This deeply personal and universal tale invites players to explore the joy and pain of the past while finding themselves anew.
