Who doesn’t want to play an emotional point-and-click adventure that sees you falling in love with an owl? We don’t actually want to know the answer to that question, we just want to play When the Past was Around.
Which is lucky, because the game has just landed on the Play Store. It follows the story of Eda, a girl in her 20’s. Things aren’t going swimmingly, until she starts a love affair with The Owl.
The story is bittersweet, because the best stories are all bittersweet. You’ll navigate a series of rooms, solving puzzles as you go and unlocking new aspects of the tale.
The game is wonderfully surreal, and lets its narrative unveil without words. It’s as much about discovering yourself and overcoming your past as it is falling in love with an owl.
You can click here to download When the Past was Around from the Play Store. It’s free to start, with a single IAP that unlocks the rest of the experience if you like what you see.
