What players say

Yesterday starts off a bit weird and disjointed, but once it gains momentum it becomes surprisingly engaging. The game delivers a few standout moments that echo the charm of Broken Sword, especially in its mix of dark humor and those exotic, cult-tinged locations that keep you curious. It's undeniably uneven, though. The pacing wobbles, and it never quite reaches the level of a classic or a genre-defining work...

Yesterday is a great and fun mystery game that I first played a long time ago on mobile not long after it was released. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys or is interested in the genre.
