About When the Past Was Around
When the Past Was Around is a point-and-click puzzle adventure about love, heartbreak, moving on and letting go. You follow Eda, a woman in her early 20s who has lost her way while pursuing her dreams and looking for love, until she meets the Owl.
Eda and the Owl
The game tells a bittersweet story about Eda and her lover in a surreal world of disjointed rooms drawn from memories and time. As you gather clues, solve puzzles and unlock doors, Eda finds her way and uncovers secrets between her and the Owl—secrets she once knew. The story is told without words or dialogue, through hand-drawn art by Indonesian artist Brigitta Rena.
Puzzles and music
You solve a range of puzzles and uncover stories as you explore. Atmospheric violin music accompanies the journey, from peaceful moments to its most anguished scenes. The silent narrative experience takes less than two hours to complete.
