Defunct Games reviews When the Past Was Around by Mojiken Studio, available now on PC and Mac. Coming soon for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch.
Although it's an emotional roller coaster from beginning to end, When the Past Was Around is exactly the kind of game we need right now. The heartbreaking story of loss and letting go is especially cogent in a year like 2020. While the puzzles are occasionally nonsensical and the adventure is on the easy side, this stylish point and clicker's message will stick with you long after the game is over. From the hand-drawn graphics to the catchy music to the wonderfully diverse stages, When the Past Was Around is a game you won't soon forget.
