Dreadful
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.

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.
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.

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.

Great Story & Fun!
Loved the humor, art, and clever story line. Such a fun game to play from start to finish!
A truly great, original and fun game!
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.

not intuitive or logical and buggy
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.

So stupid
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.
A waste of 5 dollars
Going around in circles.
A Game Worth Playing
I didn’t know anything about this developer or what to expect from their game.
Simplistically, the game design is like a “hallway” & you’re opening up “doors” on the right & left side — but, depending on what puzzles you’ve solved, what’s in the “rooms” change. Just because you’ve been there before doesn’t mean there isn’t something in there you need now.
This is one big puzzle adventure game & it actually feels quite long. There are games I’ve played & if it can be beaten in a few hours, you feel ripped off. But not this game. It lasted me a week. & now that I know the quality game my $ buys, I’m happy to explore the rest of their catalog.
The hint guide is really well done. If you’re stuck & just want to be pointed in the right direction, the titles give you a clue w/o spoiling the game.
My only note is there’s a bug in the hot plate puzzle. I never set the dials. I added the ingredients, but never set the temperature & time. The msg wasn’t clear that I’d done it correctly, calling the mixture“slop.” I filled the sprayer expecting when I used it for the game to say “something when wrong, it wasn’t made correctly, etc.” But no. It worked.

too difficult
i’m not a stupid person. i shouldn’t have to spend half of my time on their hints pages. there are some puzzles that i very much doubt 95% of the population would get unless by accident. it took all of the enjoyment out of the game. not worth it to finish, it’s irritating.
Why did I just find out they released a new game 😭
Please keep making these games
I love your company’s games truly
I will purchase every game you make 😜😜😜😜

Holy #$@&
If you want to spend time with a game, this is it! Between the length, the story, the characters and the challenges it hit every mark for a great game! And it was fun to play! I probably achieved over 80% of the logic, but there was a hint system that went so far as to give the answers. I had played the previous games and look forward to their next! Kudos!

Wha??
I love these games. They are thoughtful and engaging. But I cannot get off the initial screen on this one. Too complicated, too fast. It’s so annoying! And I paid for it. 🙄
What am I missing??
What am I missing??
It’s hard.
I just downloaded this game last night . It’s a hard game . I’m not good at figuring out clues ( I’m old) so maybe it’s me and not the game. But I’m enjoying it.
Epic point and click adventure!
Just finished this. There’s a LOT of fun gameplay for the price. I got hooked on the story and had to keep playing until i got to the end.
The art is charming. The writing is funny and fun. The puzzles are creative and challenging and go beyond the usual point-and-click fare in clever inventiveness.
I got stuck sometimes, but they have a terrific hints page that gives you tiny bits of info before the full answer so you can still have the fun of working things out.
Very much looking forward to playing the rest of their games. If you’re a fan of this genre, you should check this out.

Difficult But Fun
This game was a bit hard at times and had to use the hint guide, but I really enjoyed it. I liked the story line and traveling through time. You can tell that a lot of thought, time, and effort was put into this game. If you like challenging games with humor, original storylines and gameplay then I would recommend this game. I am off to buy another one of their games, because I liked this one so much.

A classic in the making
Fun, humorous, very tricky in places but never frustrating. Hints were essential but didn’t feel like spoilers. Now off to play everything else the team has ever made.
