How to Live with A Broken Heart

Grief is messy, like a spilled bottle of black ink. It spreads, and stains, and leaves a permanent mark on your life. It takes time to adjust to the change, and it takes time to heal.

And none of it's linear. Pain can come and go, and small things can open the doors to big memories.

As the story of When The Past Was Around unfolds, you find yourself in the midst of this part of life. In the protagonist's shoes, you must find a way to navigate these feelings and memories. And that's where the core gameplay mechanic comes in as a point-and-click puzzle game.

Everything moves at your own pace. The beautiful art of the visuals and the gorgeous soundtrack will quickly sweep you away in the gentleness of falling in love, and the despair of it falling apart.

At the end, may you find a strength to continue living and a will to carry your memories unburdened.

When The Past Was Around is a poignant piece. It's special and magical in the best ways imaginable.

When the Past Was Around🦉 When the Past Was Around is a point-and-click puzzle game. I wouldn't classify myself as a "puzzler", but even as the problem solving grew more and more intricate -- and my temptation to unfold the story at a steadier pace led me to hand-holding YouTube walk throughs (😅) -- I never felt frustrated. I fell comfortably into a rhythm of pointing and clicking, audibly cheering myself on when I finally cracked a tough code. Like a spring rain shower, this game is light, refreshing, and fleeting. With its gorgeous art style, lilting music, and melancholic story, When the Past Was Around endeared itself to me within the two afternoons it took me to complete it. For all you cozy puzzle lovers: this one's a must-have. 🎻

"When the past was around" is a very chill game where you just look and click to discover memories. I recommend it if you are into that sort of game.

вчера за день прошлась When the Past Was Around, не помню когда такое было последний раз, наверное полгода назад… игра конечно не совсем в моем стиле, но на данный момент раздается на всевозможных подписках, более того, приглянулась приятным стилем, артом и каким-то… отсутствием задротства чтоли, не смотря на то, что я уж очень агрессивно отношусь к загадкам и п��злам. поначалу очень хорошо шла в плане головоломок (если отбросить факт ее пкашности и неудобств на жойстике), но меня кажется хватило на час. и не потому что с каждой новой главой загадки ‘усложняются’, а скорее с появлением новых функций о которых игра как- то не соизволила сообщить. н-р телескоп вокруг которого я прокружила овер долго тк не виднелось нужное созвездие, и только благодаря гугелю я поняла, что и телескоп можно вертеть… вроде мелочь, но таких нюансов попадалось немало.

по части истории я теряюсь, тк не в силах объяснить о чем рассказывает игра: о любфи, потери и воспоминаниях о былом; или больной фантазии главной тянки. здесь видимо из категории- каждому свое, но мне как-то понравилось, я даже переживала моментами.

When the Past Was Around скорее для любофных парочек и смазливых страдальцев, тем не менее очень достойное инди. удивительно, но я даже не пожалела пройдя ее (частенько по гайду правда)

a few weeks earlier, I was searching for a calm, unpacking-like game that I can add into my phone. while contemplating whether I should download Steam or not, I came across this game, When The Past Was Around on tiktok, a cute game they say, but the free portion was just the prologue so we have to buy in order to play the full game.

well, my rm 9.90 is not wasted because I cried at the end of the game.

I really love the game, its slogan 'love, moving on and letting go' really hits the spot.

and I couldn't even shake off the lingering moment :(

though I was a bit disturbed... the owl-faced man......

but it was a good game :')

yall gotta play it. yeap.
