When The Past Was Around

I will never forget falling in love with this adventure, point-and-click puzzle game. It was instantaneous! And I don't think I'll ever stop carrying this game with me for the rest of my life. The music and the story took root in my heart in a way I never expected.

For a simple point-and-click play style this game is a complex experience I will treasure forever. The puzzles, the gorgeous art style, and the music are wonderful to enjoy at one's own pace. Once solved the story unfolds in a beautiful show not tell format.

It's hard to pinpoint what it is about this game that brings me back. I find myself replaying it again, and again in quiet hours of the night. It's a story of loss, and finding your way through it. There's magic in this one, and I need more games in the future make me FEEL as much as this one did.

Fragile Hope

What makes a person bring home and keep

the dying plants, the abandoned stuffed animals,

the mug that's been dropped and glued back together a dozen times?

I don't know, I lied and happened to glance at the mirror on the wall.

Every crack and flaw stared back at me with fragile hope.

One day it might be my turn.

Abandoned

My heart only knows how to grow love.

When there is no one to reap the harvest,

where does it go?
