Yesterday (2012)

The style is pretty good, but after that there's not much else going for it... The story wasn't as compelling as I'd hoped, there were maybe two vaguely interesting characters and I just don't care about the main plot nor the romance subplot... Some of the puzzles were good, but I had to ask for hints more than I'd like because the solutions weren't telegraphed properly... It sells itself as a mystery but most of the big questions are basically answered by the end of the first act... A significant chunk of the game is stained with orientalism... The dedication at the beginning to the homeless population felt nice when I saw it, but at the end it feels really hollow, more like they felt obligated to slap it on before the opening... It wasn't the worst game I've ever played but I'm embarrassed to keep it in my library at this point. I bought this game discounted to 80 cents and I still want my money back.

**A short but enjoyable point-and-click adventure.** I had a good time with *Yesterday*. It’s not a masterpiece or anything mind-blowing, but it’s a fun little adventure that does a good job of keeping you entertained. The story is interesting, the atmosphere is nice, and the puzzles are enjoyable without being too frustrating. My only real complaint is that the game feels **way too short**. Just when I was getting into it, it was already over. I definitely wouldn’t have complained if it had been a few hours longer. Still, if you enjoy classic point-and-click adventures and want something you can finish in a short time, *Yesterday* is worth a try. Nothing revolutionary, but a pleasant way to spend a few hours. **Recommended 👍** **7/10**

Nice visual effects.

Well its short, I give it that. It basically is like a dozen or so scenes in total and some of the item combinations are stupid but not entirely moon logic. The story could be good, if actually a good writer would rewrite it and draw it out by like 3x the length. No seriously, I normally hate games that are too long but this one misses every single beat in its story because of how abrupt and fast everything happens. Well right now it costs less than 1 CHF so I guess its fair and don't expect to much or are not that good in Adventure games but its not really worth it.

Fun story with great twists. Decent puzzles, but the draw here is the story, ---{ Gameplay }--- Peak Great X Good Meh Watch water come a to boil instead Makes your body convulse ---{ Graphics }--- This is reality Beautiful X Good Mid Bad MS-DOS Eyes Bleed ---{ Audio }--- Transcendent Great X Good Mid Bad I am now deaf ---{ Computer Specs }--- Check if you can run Paint X Potato Decent Fast Rich boi Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Difficulty }--- Just press 'W' X Easy Normal Significant Effort Sifu NES Hard ---{ Story }--- No Story Bad Average Good X Great It'll change your life ---{ Game Time }--- Long enough for a cup of coffee X Short Average Long To infinity and beyond ---{ Bang For Your Buck }--- It's free!
