Yesterday Origins

Well worth the 99¢ I paid to play this gem. Above all, the storyline is incredible, the characters are developed, and it all comes together beautifully in the end. The beginning takes some time to adjust to with the application items and ideas with characters, but for me, it opened up so many possibilities that I enjoyed exploring. EXCELLENT game 👏👏 I’m considering purchasing YESTERDAY now because I was so pleased with this one. I saw other reviews complaining about the “wonky” controls - its a mobile game with a lot of transitions and cinematic gameplay. Occasionally the voice dialogue will go a little haywire but I just restart the game (that loads very quickly I might add) and there was nothing that I experienced that would prevent me from playing or completing the game.

Good game👍❤️👍

I’m truly so into this game! Amazing especially for the price! I would have paid $10 for it! Graphics, storyline, everything is so cool

A vast improvement on the original game. The story goes back and forth between the ancient past and the present, effectively telling the “Origin” (which would have made the first game way more easier to follow) while coinciding with the continuation/resolution of the main story. Everything that was vague or confusing about the first game is cleared up rather nicely, which lets you appreciate this game a great deal more. The gameplay and animation is far smoother, and the voice acting is terrific. The “focus” is a little wonky when inspecting items/people, but it’s more of a distraction than a hindrance. Needing to switch back & forth between multiple protagonists is a fun gameplay mechanic, although the timing toward the end could have been a little better. The black/adult humor is still there, and it never seems forced. Also, the game is MUCH longer than the original. Some of the puzzles will be a bit frustrating to even seasoned adventure gamers, and the “dialogue trees” could stand some improving. However, all in all this is a great game that I would recommend to anyone. One of those sequels that you wish you could have played without needing bother with the subpar original.

How do you fail so hard at basic program stability? Its a freaking adventure game. Predictable graphical load, (mostly) linear game state transistion. And it crashes. So hard. Go back to college you amateurs.

I really enjoyed playing first game, I love the story line and twists and turns. Developers please keep making progress with this game, at least 3 more game! We still need to know more of the life of John Yesterday!

19 Mar 2020 - This is a good game. I’ve enjoyed it alllll the way through the catacombs and NOW it crashes. It has been an excellent challenge w great voice acting and art. But neither Microids nor Penulo offer any way to report a crash, which is just so frustrating and poor business practice. I’m sad cos I wanna know what happens! >:(

Doesn’t work on iPad Pro since every time I try to look at something I get a black background with a tiny spotlight like searching with a flashlight. Can’t use Apple Pencil with it. While the graphics are okay, navigation is cumbersome and I had to fight to try to collect something let along use it. This game hasn’t been updated in awhile so I’m guessing it no longer works on the newer iPads.

I don’t know what these other people are talking about. The tutorial is virtually nonexistent, the gameplay is bad, the ways by which you accomplish tasks is overly complex and convoluted; they are in no way intuitive. I don’t want a game whereby I have to keep looking at walkthroughs to continue playing. Generally I would not even care about 0.99 cents, however, I would like a refund because this game caused me pain and suffering. Whoever says this is a good puzzle game is lying and have never played a REAL puzzle game like, The Room or House of DaVinci. At least there the tutorial is helpful and if you get stuck, the hints are useful. This game the programmers spent all their time on encoding these little anime style sequences and pointless conversations between characters. I was very excited when I saw the “gameplay” and read the reviews. But they were all misleading and not representative of what this game is. Save your dollar and give it to a homeless person who needs it.

A rare great game from Microids. Most are highly flawed and unplayable. This was excellent.
