One of the better ones

This is one of their better games. But be prepared to use a lot of walk-through hints. Some of the puzzles make absolutely no sense, even with a hint. Like unlocking the safe at the bank. Still makes no sense to me whatsoever. But overall, a very good game, And it’s well worth the money.

Thanks for the review!

Amazing 10/10

To begin, I bought the half price caper bundle so I got 5 games, including Yestertide which I completed last (and am very happy I did!)

Yestertide is by far the best game in the bundle. It is very long, difficult and honestly very fun to play. While I did enjoy the other games, this one just hit different.

I saw a few reviews mention how difficult it is and that the website with hints doesn’t help sometimes. I found this to be inaccurate, as I used the hints A LOT. For all the games, but especially for this one. The hints very much gave you the answers directly. I think what trips people up, is that sometimes the hints and/or answers are spread across several sections (questions?) so you have to read 2 or 3 to figure out what to do.

Personally, I enjoyed there being a dedicated website with hints vs in-game hints or having to watch a video. I also appreciated that you could get a simple hint to point you in the right direction, or you could read the entire solution and get the answer. So props to the developer!

The game is difficult to navigate and can also trip you up. However, I personally found it enjoyable. It also was easier for me, as I played 4 other games with the same type of navigation prior to starting this one. I found this one to be way less confusing than some of the other games (talking about you, Beast of Bodkin Hall lol).

I have only been playing point and click games for a little bit, but have been on a huge roll of playing all available. I would definitely recommend this game, and especially getting the bundle with all of them. Albeit, the other games included in the bundle are not nearly as noteworthy as Yestertide regarding length, difficulty, etc.

Wow, we can't thank you enough for taking the time to leave such a wonderful, comprehensive review. We're so happy you loved Yestertide. As you pointed out, it's our longest standalone game, not counting our Bested series, which is divided into chapters across multiple games. Yestertide also took us the longest to develop. A lot went into it, and it's nice to know that that's appreciated. It's also good to hear that you like our hint system. We thought about adding in-game hints several times, but we prefer this system. We're happy you do too!

Great great game

With a minor non-essential bug: fruits must be dragged twice to get blended, as for the first time it won’t trigger anything and just bounce back to the inventory bar. And many puzzles are quite hard for a non-English player. The herb names are various, blended into the all time narrations, quite unnoticeable. And till now I still don’t understand that vault’s 3 letter puzzle, and why opening the no. 22 box, even after reading the full hint related to this part. And the white line on the dog door is quite faint, blended into the surroundings, not as distinguishable as the cat door.
