About Day of the Tentacle Remastered

✦ AI summary

Travel through time with three unlikely heroes to stop a maniacal purple tentacle from conquering the world in this mind-bending adventure from LucasArts. This remastered classic features stunning hand-drawn high-resolution artwork, restored audio, and developer commentary from the original team that created this beloved cult puzzle adventure.

Dr. Fred’s mutated purple tentacle is about to take over the world, and only you can stop him!

Originally released by LucasArts in 1993 as a sequel to Ron Gilbert’s ground breaking Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle is a mind-bending, time travel, cartoon puzzle adventure game in which three unlikely friends work together to prevent an evil mutated purple tentacle from taking over the world!

Now, over twenty years later, Day of the Tentacle is back in a remastered edition that features all new hand-drawn, high resolution artwork, with remastered audio, music and sound effects (which the original 90s marketing blurb described as ‘zany!’).

Players are able to switch back and forth between classic and remastered modes, and mix and match audio, graphics and user interface to their heart’s desire. We’ve also included a concept art browser, and recorded a commentary track with the game’s original creators Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian.

Day of the Tentacle was Tim Schafer’s first game as co-project lead, and a much beloved cult classic! This special edition has been lovingly restored and remade with the care and attention that can only come from involving the game's original creators.

AAAAAHASHDHDSBGDFG HATE LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH IVE COME TO HATE YOU [Bernard] SINCE IVE BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WERE ENCRIBED UPON EACH NANOANGSTRUM, IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR BERNARD IN THIS MICROINSTANT. FOR YOU, HATE, HATE!

A pure nostalgia hit. A classic through and through. If you like dead presidents and psychopathic tentacles (with some love beds and hamsters thrown in for good measure) then you'll love this point and click adventure.

[h1]Day of the Tentacle Remastered — 10/10[/h1] [b]An absolute point & click classic — and still one of the funniest adventure games ever made.[/b] Day of the Tentacle is one of those games that immediately takes me back to the golden age of LucasArts in the 90s. The crazy characters, the cartoon graphics, the absurd humor and especially the brilliant puzzles involving three characters in three different time periods are still fantastic today. The whole idea of changing something in the past so that it affects the future is incredibly clever, and some of those puzzles are permanently burned into my memory. [b]What I loved:[/b] • Brilliant time-travel puzzle design • Three characters interacting across different eras • Fantastic LucasArts humor • Completely ridiculous and memorable characters • Wonderful cartoon style • Some of the most creative puzzles in point & click history • Excellent remastered graphics, sound and interface • Instant switching between the original and remastered version Double Fine did exactly what a remaster of a classic should do: [b]improve the presentation without destroying what made the original special.[/b] And considering Tim Schafer was alread…

amazing game, great story, funny moments, challenging but well made puzzles and really well played on the steam deck with the trackpads (if you set them to work as a mouse)
