Yesterday

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.

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 is great, though, and after playing for a while I stopped noticing the graphics and just focused on the game play and story. While the story has some cool twists and turns, I could never get past the fact that it was just transforming into a "Broken Sword" clone, with everything from a murder mystery in France to a plot term with Templars in Scotland. Why did the game feel the need to do this? The intro with a bunch of hobos being murdered in the subway was much more interesting, and I wish it would have kept to that thread instead of trying to copy a superior game. Also, some of the items are never used, while others are used in flashbacks or jumps forward, so it doesn't have the "inventory tightness" of the best games in this genre. Still, there's quite a bit of cleverness and fun to be had, so as a budget adventure game it's fantastic.

is badly working on an actual PC with WIN11 - freezing while playing - crashing in cut scenes - crashing with full screen without possibility to kill game Save points in addition are SO bad that you have to re-work all if it crashes on cut scenes. Game can not be recommend to be played anymore - at least on WIN11.

it's a modern point and click with reasonable puzzle

👍

Интересная игра, хороший сюжет, да и сюжет не сильно затянут, что по себе очень хорошо

Well, that was ♥♥♥♥♥.

Отличный квест

L'histoire est sympa. Quelques bugs sonores, ça avance assez tranquillement. Un peu court
