With My Past

This could have been a good puzzle game. Unfortunately marred by increasingly overbearing and relentless narrative levels that just wont stop. These were probably best left to prologue or epilogue content. Not sure I understood the point of them, did not read much of them, got WAY too repetitive. When I buy and/or play a puzzle game that's NOT what I am looking for. Some of the puzzles are good and rewarding to solve, while others are quite basic and not quite fleshed out. I think I may have cheesed a few. Not sure, was not always obvious what the "correct" solution was. This game should have focused more on the puzzles rather than the pointless fluff. In conclusion cannot recommend. This game has ZERO replayability. Game says something about a "B side" I assume that is where the last two achievements are. Might check that out but otherwise will not touch this again.

Beautiful art, beautiful game. No way this is a $9 game!

With My Past is a deeply introspective puzzle-platforming experience that blends thoughtful mechanics with emotional storytelling in a way that feels personal and deliberate. Developed by Imagine Wings Studio and published by Edigger, the game centers on a young protagonist confronting the weight of her memories, regrets, and unresolved emotions. Rather than presenting this struggle through extensive dialogue or exposition, the game externalizes it through gameplay itself, turning the act of moving forward into a metaphor for self-reflection and acceptance. From the very beginning, the tone is quiet and contemplative, inviting players to engage not just with puzzles, but with the emotional ideas behind them. The defining feature of With My Past is its core mechanic, which introduces a shadowy manifestation of the protagonist’s past that follows her actions with a delay. This “past self” is not merely a visual flourish but a central gameplay element that must be carefully managed in order to progress. Every movement you make becomes meaningful, as your past actions can later turn into platforms, obstacles, or tools depending on how you position yourself. This creates a constant dia…

who ever made this i love you all this thing is absolutely amazing such a hidden gem

With my past is an outstanding puzzle platformer that weaves emotional storytelling into accessible puzzles. The core mechanic is simple, you leave a shadow of yourself that copies your moves with a delay. This by itself is not new but what the game manages to do with is very innovative. As you progress, your relation with your past self evolves in both in gameplay and story. Sometimes, you'll use hide behind your past shadow to avoid turrets. Sometimes you'll need to run away from it. Sometimes, it will help you reach heights you couldn't before. This aspect reminded me a lot of Celeste. The story itself is simple, but the storytelling is excellent. Every puzzle features a few text blurbs relating to the story and the player character's mental state. Moreover, the puzzle solutions themselves become elements of the plot. I was very impressed by how effective the game was in putting the player in the main character's head space with simple puzzles. Overall, I really recommend playing this if you like puzzles and/or emotional stories.
