When The Past Was Around offers a gripping, mysterious story of two souls venturing through memories, all conveyed through intricate puzzles.
The story revolves around a girl and an initially-shadowy figure. You’ll be armed with only your mouse as you click around for clues. Perhaps cleaning up will reveal a curious code, or throwing things around will loosen a brush. Maybe even steal some bread. The puzzles shown in the demo are quite interesting and will get a few ‘A-ha!’ type moments out of players.
The most compelling aspect of When The Past Was Around is its masterful illustrations of a cozy environment. Each line of detail or highlight on an object is perfectly placed. I cannot praise this art style enough. It is breathtaking and speaks such volumes in a game with no words.
When The Past Was Around has a demo available on Itch.io.
