Description

John Yesterday becomes immortal following an occult ritual. However, the ritual has been tampered with and things don't go quite as planned. Now he has to embark on an adventure to try and reproduce the immortality ritual correctly. But his former acquaintances have other plans for him...

Discover the latest adventure from Pendulo Studios, creators of the Runaway series!

"Yesterday Origins" will take the immortal heroes, John Yesterday and his other half Pauline, not only across the world, but across history itself. This interwoven narration gives the plot its depth and richness.

It's 1418. In the dead of night, young John is publically humiliated and dragged through the street. He is imprisoned by the Spanish Inquisition under suspicion of witchcraft.

Later, he undergoes an alchemical transformation making him immortal. But the potion used during the ceremony has been tampered with by priest Ginés de Orduña. This means that after each resurrection, John completely forgets who he is.

In the current day, John and Pauline are searching for an artefact that is needed to make the potion, this time correctly. During their investigation, they will have to face dangerous new protagonists who want to steal their secrets...

  1. Finally found a compatible controller

    I bought this game because of the fact it promoted controller support in Steam. I use a Logitech F310 wired controller in DInput mode for Mac games, but his game wouldn't recognise it. I then tried a MIcrosoft XBox Series X | S controller under MacOS 11.1, but these aren't yet supported by Apple under Bluetooth. The only configuration I could get to work was using Parallels Desktop with the Windows 10 version on Steam; and then the XBox controller had to be connected with a cable!

    The game does function with keyboard inputs, but the layout was so complex and unintuitive that i was going to give up on the game before I got a controller to work. Now that it does, the game mechanics are much easier to manage, and hotspots can be found, and inventory items manipulated as originally intended. I am working through the game, and enjoying the story and challenges along the way.
