About this game

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.

Ratings and reviews

This was an absolutely beautiful game and very enjoyable to play. The point-and-click puzzles word reasonable, and I didn't need any hints, that's always great! My only complaints are having to click on the musical bubbles all the time, and having to go through cutscenes from the beginning again when you resume the same chapter later on.

I originally played this game a couple yrs ago and couldn't finish due to a glitch. I was stuck in the game & didn't want to start over. I noticed there had been updates so I reinstalled and the game worked great. Such a unique, fun little game. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish I could find more like it. A part 2, perhaps? I'm so glad a gave it a second try. Awesome game. Worth every bit of 5 ✨!

I would have given a higher score but the puzzles in this game are very simplistic. You basically have to find one thing and place it in another place. That is most of the games puzzles. The overall look of the game is excellent. I would not choose this aesthetic for a puzzle game but that is what makes it interesting to me. If the puzzles were improved and possibly interconnected this could be an amazing game. I would gladly pay if the story was more engaging and the puzzles more wide-ranging.
