When the Past was Around

Chorus Worldwide presents When the Past was Around, a whimsical point-and-click puzzle video game that tells a bittersweet tale between an aspiring violinist named Eda and her lover The Owl in a surreal world consisting of disjointed rooms of memories and time. Through this short silent narrative adventure, you experience their love, grief and how she moves on. This game is available to buy now on PC, Steam, PS4, Xbox One and Switch. I am delighted to receive a free code to play this game on the Nintendo Switch. This is a single player game that will take less than two hours to complete.
