Yesterday

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! X Worth more than the price Worth the price Not quite worth the money Asking double or more what it's worth If you are The Joker and ran out of lighter fluid ---{ Bugs }--- X Never seen any Minor bugs Can get annoying Rather Glitchy This game is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ 9 / 10 }---

It's structurally ultimately a Broken Sword clone, at least in terms of the way the story functions, but there's a bunch of weird things in it that also differentiate it as its own odd experience. The plot does a total curveball with a bizarre twist at the beginning that totally caught me off guard, and I then I realized why the game was called "Yesterday" around halfway through. As a point-and-click puzzle game, it's sufficient, with some really clever puzzles and some nonsensical ones. This game is a joke if you use the hint system since it will tell you exactly where to go and what to do. The game doesn't have the more challenging non-"put this here and there" puzzles you'd see in a game like Broken Sword's director's cut, so really you can brute force most of the puzzles. There were a few where I had that "Eureka!" moment I get in games like Leisure Suit Larry, but a lot were just totally nonsensical. At one point you use a fireproof blanket to get through a fire and I don't even know if the game told me it was fireproof. The graphics are "bleh" in my opinion. Even though I don't mind those low poly poser-3D models, it just looks really dated. The music and voice work i…
