When the Past was Around is an adventure point-and-click puzzle game about love, moving on, letting go, and the joy and pain of everything in between.
This is the story of Eda, a girl in her early 20s.
Like anyone in her age, she’s lost.
She lost her way in the journey to achieve her dreams.

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
We love the way When the Past Was Around builds themes of loss and learning into its puzzle designs. Discovering objects hidden in this tale’s surreal memories echoes the surprise of the two protagonists finding love, and as the puzzles get tougher, the game cleverly evokes the struggles of learning to move on. Much like the memories it depicts, this experience lingers in our minds long after.
So beautiful, i cried.
I like the game very much although I didn’t know how to solve some of the puzzles. The thing that I don’t like that sometimes it doesn’t save my progress and I have to start all over again also it’s stopped working and I have to exit and also lost my progress.
It needs update and maybe some written content. Also would love it more if it was longer I finished it in 3 days.
The music is so beautiful and calm and the drawing is AMAZING so lovely and detailed just so in love with the drawings. would love another chapter of this game.
Good game, but it feels like a scam
I started playing this game, and it was really good. The animation was amazing and the puzzles were the perfect mix of easy and hard to the point where it's still a challenge but not so frustrating that you stop playing the game or get mad. I was completing the prologue easily and was excited to continue playing whenever it appeared that the rest of the game cost two dollars. I know that isn't a lot, and these game companies need to make money somehow, but on the App Store it was free and then I had to pay money to play. It felt like a scam. Just list it as two dollars on the App Store. With this all being said, it was a great game from what I played, although the storyline didn't make the most sense, and was fun and entertaining. It just felt like a scam because I was happy that I finally found a great free game, and it ended up that the full experience costed money. Also as I said before, the storyline was confusing and didn't make sense. Eventually I figured that in the prologue we were collecting feathers, but there was no reason as to why. Who is this owl man? What are the characters motives? It really lacked on the storytelling. And this game appears to be one that is a story game, so it's very important that the story makes sense and is understandable. It's different than just solving puzzles. The animation was great, but that doesn't fix the games other problems. Overall, 6 out of 10. Good game, but some major problems held it back.
