Indonesian developer Mojiken and Indie publisher, Chorus Worldwide, the Team behind cult hits Coffee Talk and A Raven Monologue, proudly present When the Past was Around, a whimsical point-and-click puzzle game about love, loss and letting go. The game is available on the Nintendo eShop, and will be released on the PlayStation Store tomorrow and the Microsoft Store on the 18th for $8.49 / €8.49 / £7.09. Note: There may be a slight difference in the PS price as this is still unconfirmed at this time, but it won’t be by much.
When the Past was Around invites players to gather clues, solve puzzles and unravel secrets buried deep within the protagonist’s mind.
