The Independent Gamer is a curated roundup of news from indie gaming, landing here every other Friday. A new year has begun, and a recent title that has gained a following since its release in late 2020 is the adventure point-and-click title When the Past Was Around from developer Mojiken Studio and publisher Toge Productions, both based in Indonesia. The game — about a young girl and her owl companion — is created and illustrated by artist Brigitta Rena, who set out to make a relatable and interactive story without any dialogue so that players could loosely interpret the game based on their own experience in life.
