When The Past Was Around is an adventure point-and-click puzzle game developed by Mojiken and published by Toge Productions. It presents a silent narrative centered on themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The game utilizes a distinct hand-drawn art style by Brigitta Rena and features atmospheric violin music to convey its story.

The gameplay involves solving brain-teasing puzzles within surreal, disjointed environments that represent memories and time. Players guide Eda through these spaces, uncovering clues and unlocking doors to unravel the secrets of her relationship with her lover, The Owl. The game's story unfolds visually, without dialogue, and can be completed in under two hours.
