Yesterday
Description
Yesterday is a 3D point-and-click adventure game about a series of murders that occur in New York in present time, all of the victims being homeless people. A young and rich Henry White, who inherited his father's company and fortune, helps a charitable organization to solve the mystery behind the murders. Along he takes his friend Samuel Cooper as his bodyguard. On their journey they cross paths with an enigmatic John Yesterday, who is suffering from loss of memory.
Compared to previous games by Pendulo Studios the game has a much darker atmosphere. It involves satanic cults with a distinct signature of Y-shaped scar carved into the palms of victims' hands, myths and lies. The game plays similarly to other Pendulo games where you take control of several characters and try to solve puzzles by talking to characters, exploring the environment, collecting items, and combining objects with items in the scenery through an inventory to progress and open up new locations to further the story.

The Good
As with all Pendulo's games, voice acting and dialogue are pretty good, as is the storyline.
The Bad
The game is very sleepy. I was shocked to see the release date; it seems like a much, much, much older game than Runaway. Part of the problem is that internal dialogue (i.e. thinking to oneself) is now visual only. You don't hear peoples' internal dialogue. So it's a game where you'll hear a lot of music and some dialogue, which gives it a sleepy characteristic.
There's some pixel hunting involved, which kind of blows.
The Bottom Line
Not nearly as enjoyable or playable as Pendulo's other titles. It feels incomplete / rushed; hard to believe it's a 2012 release. Definitely not a polished game.
