I absolutely LOVED everything about this! ESPECIALLY the art! It is just gorgeous all around, with great atmosphere and gameplay. I love love loved it. Can't wait for a longer version, though I thought the demo length was really good and gave you a few levels to get the feel of the game.
Pros and cons are down below) Check out me vid (the game is the 1st there):
Advantages:
1. The art style is amazing! Very wholesome and heartwarming! I like the pastel colors you chose especially!
2. The concept of interacting with objects and revealing the story is cool. I love how many little interactable things there are!
Disadvantages:
1. I didn't quite get the story and the... owl? It's not necessarily a disadvantage. It was personally for me. I would like a bit more clarity.
2. The piano puzzle is strange. It has excessive hints that repeat themselves. I think you could do without shapes. It just seems out of the place because you expect something more complicated seing the shapes.
Overall:
I enjoyed this a lot! It was a brief but bright experience that made me smile. Very beautiful! I wish to see more of your works!
What a beautiful experience! I teared up while playing. The art is an absolute delight, music is touching, and the storytelling is great. I look forward to any continuation on this game, and your others!
This reminded me so much of a raven monologue. Going into this one, I had actually forgotten this was the same studio, I played RM for the first time in April of 2018. Playing this gave me a great impression of what this dev team can do. I like the approach both games shared in which the narrative is not told in words but rather in music. Just all around a great work of artistry. I'd like to wish you luck in your future projects, Team Owl is a great example of how animator giants become popular as well how hard animation can be. Keep making things you love and the rest will follow.

You can read more about it in my review (https://gyepitypes.wordpress.com/2021/01/15/videogame-reviews-when-the-past-was-...)
Hello guys, hope you have an awesome day. Just one question, do you consider releasing full game game here on itch.io?
Hello! I probably won't, but the full game is available on Steam -> https://store.steampowered.com/app/1284870/Ultrea/
Yeah, I know that, but I prefer DRM-free stores (like itch.io or GOG) rather than Steam.
Then you're in luck! It's on sale on GOG right now: https://www.gog.com/game/when_the_past_was_around
I remember seeing this demo played a long time ago, very moving story and art style !
Muito bom <3
Awe wish this was available for browser or linux :(
Very nice and relaxing game <3
I love it! But for some reasons, I find the owl man quite creepy 😂
The mini escape room game was fun! I still don't get what the game was about though, so I hope I can see the plot in the full released version :)
the full version already out on steam, you can check it out
самый красивый кликер, в который я когда-либо играл. графика на высоте, но загадки слишком простые
давайте надонатим разработчикам на продолжение :)

the most beautiful clicker i`ve ever played. the graphics are great, but the puzzles are too simple

Woah... really digging the art style and music of this game, which as of right now is a "taster" for the full experience.
the art in this is wonderful!

Great start for you guys! I love it already! I'm looking forward to the full-release version! :)
