Once again, a great adventure game from Pendulo. But this one is darker in tone and story (which is excellent) that, its usual productions.
If you don't skip any cut-scenes and follow the story closely, Yesterday is an experience unlike any of Pendulo's previous titles, and one you'll be unlikely to forget, no matter how hard you try.

I liked this game, its is a modern point and click adventure game, with a thrilling story, interesting main character and good twist.
the game is not that long, I did it in 8 hours, very slow pace, and did all the 3 endings.
I was glade to hear this title has a sequel, I would like to play it someday, for sure.
very recommended.

This game had me hooked from the get go, throwing me straight into a world with interesting, multi-faceted characters, a mystery to solve, and beautiful hand-drawn backgrounds. I was immediately struck by how player friendly the game is. I was always given enough information to work out what to do next and if I ran into trouble there was a helpful hint system. When I tried to do something that seemed logical to me, the game would almost always let me try it and give me an informative message about why the item combination didn't work. These qualities are sadly lacking in most adventure games I've played so I applaud Yesterday for getting this so right and not leaving the player scratching their head as to why those items "don't work together".
Yesterday loses a point for, yes being too short, and because consequently the narrative felt a bit rushed and I would have liked to have seen the many reveals spread out a bit more. The game took me about 8 hours but the complex story deserved twice that. Still, the game remained engaging and fun the entire time and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Linear gameplay and an incredibly short length means the game can be completed in a matter of hours, which is a problem considering the high price point. For those of you willing to pay the price of admission Yesterday is a fun nod to an earlier form of gaming with a story you won't soon forget.
Yesterday compensates its flaws for its great story - an element that's been the most important thing in adventure genre. If you get over its lower difficulty level and its brief duration, you might get some thrilling experience of great pace and with great atmosphere, and you will cherish that impression even after the game is over.
If you are new to the genre, there are more accomplished games, wherein all elements work in tandem, awaiting your attention. However, if you're an avid adventure game player with most of your life-changing and genre-defining point-and-click experiences behind you, this is a worthwhile addition to your library.
Yesterday is an underripe, silly, laughably short adventure. It's as
if you're watching a cheap thriller on fast forward.
More than most other genres, if an adventure's core narrative foundations aren't solid enough to carry the rest of game, everything else is meaningless -- and Yesterday's is a story built on matchsticks and marbles. To play it is to see it come crashing down.
Отличный квест! Рассказывать о квестах дело неблагодатное, ты либо разжевываешь очевидное, либо спойлеришь, посему...
Итак, игра предлагает нам неплохой сюжет, который, впрочем, довольно предсказуем и банален. Но следить за ним интересно, надеюсь в сиквеле добавят перчинки в сюжет. Куда лучше сюжета удалось повествование -- очень и очень классно все стилизованно под комикс и Рассказчик довольно забавная личность, которая не упустит возможности над нами подшутить. Не отстает и графический стиль -- все очень сочно и красиво, вот только анимации жутко страшные :) Загадки тут типичные для квестов -- совмести то, совмести се, вполне логичны и предельно просты, хотя в самом начале игра выкинет фортель и даст вам три шахматных задачки. Неплохо, неплохо.
Ну а теперь об минусах, точней об минусе -- для меня он один.
Нельзя выбрать сочетание озвучкиинтерфейса. А русская озвучка.. Она неплоха голосами, но интонации.. Их нет. Такое ощущение, что актерам было откровенно на на то, что они записывают.
Резюмируя -- неплохой, очень даже неплохой квест, с простенькими задачками, да, но менее увлекательным он не становится. Рекомендую! Только меняйте озвучку, русская плоха, ей богу.

Personally, an old school graphic adventure with a great quality although slightly lower to what pendulo studios has accustomed us. However, recommended for lovers of the genre.

A short point ‘n’ click adventure with lots of twists to keep you entertained. Unfortunately, the inability to connect with any of the characters and the lack of any truly memorable scenes means the short playthrough will be easily forgotten; just like the eponymous protagonist’s memories.

Pendulo should take one more year to develop this game, maybe the story is good, but the game is too damn short. The music and the dubbing are for the most part nonexistent. There are so many bug on the subtitles ( for a point & click it's just a joke ). If u ( like me ) love all the pendulo's game, avoid this one !

It is unreal how short this game is. I have played previous Pendulo games and generally enjoyed them, not sure what they were going for here.
The story itself is mildly interesting but lack any real direction. There is too much bouncing around or at least bouncing around in a way you don't get until the end. There is also too much hand holding. This is one of the first adventure games that basically gives away the clues to every puzzle. Extremely disappointed. High points were graphics and voice acting. Lowe points, playing the "game".
