### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2026-07-27*

The navigation system is awful, hard to believe you could get this so wrong. The puzzles don’t make logical sense or form part of a narrative, things just change at random once you’ve done other things, no rhyme nor reason, just wandering round to see what might be different. I gave up as I found it too annoying, not too hard mind, too annoying. I love a decent and difficult point and click but it has to make sense and this just doesn’t.

### 4/5 — One of the better ones

*2026-03-19*

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.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — Amazing 10/10

*2026-01-31*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Great great game

*2025-09-30*

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.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We can't really answer your questions very easily here, but we'd be more than happy to do so on our website. You can post on the game posts page for Yestertide or send us an email.

### 5/5 — Great Story & Fun!

*2025-06-14, version 1.06*

Loved the humor, art, and clever story line.  Such a fun game to play from start to finish!

### 5/5 — A truly great, original and fun game!

*2025-05-05*

Seriously, I never write reviews but I had to let others be aware of how great this game is.
It was totally engaging, funny, scary at times too and all round just excellent.
Just buy it and play it.
You will not be disappointed.
Five stars, 
Good length too and I was sorry when it was over.
Great hints too.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We can't tell you how much it means to us that you enjoyed the game and took the time to share your thoughts. We really appreciate it!

### 5/5 — Mind Bendy Fun

*2025-04-21*

I had such a fun time with this game! The puzzles were really challenging and cool. I love the time travel aspect and the art was really beautiful. 5 stars!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for all your reviews! It really means so much to us. Yestertide was a very ambitious project for us. Really glad you appreciated what we were trying to do.

### 5/5 — great game!!!

*2025-04-03*

i love this game and all of the others by this developer!! i only have one issue. my problem is that i’ve finished half of the games by this developer and i NEED MORE!! at the rate im going i’ll finish them all soon and idk what im going to do when theres no more left for me to play. 😭😂 for this reason, id like to request more games pleeeeeeeeease.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the great review! We're hard at work on a new game, which should be out in a couple months.

### 2/5 — not intuitive or logical and buggy

*2024-11-25*

The game is not intuitive or logical, waste of time really. You need to spend lots of time just pointlessly clicking on things. And who has so much time :) (I am working adult). I finnaly decided to delete the app when the cafe safe code (found at welcome sign) didnt work. I cannot even compare to the Agent A game I recenlty finished, where everything is moving fast and flawless. Gave 2 stars for design.

### 1/5 — So stupid

*2024-08-03*

This markets itself as an adventure game. It is not. It’s a stupid, illogical “escape game” that cannot be solved like a true adventure game. Total garbage.
