Boxed Switch game collectors rejoice, Microïds will be bringing Yesterday Origins to retail on 31st May, alongside the eShop release. This adventure game was developed by the Madrid-based Pendulo Studios.
So what's Yesterday Origins all about then? Let's check out the game's synopsis:
It all starts in the 15th century, when the young John Yesterday is imprisoned for sorcery by the Spanish Inquisition. After escaping, he undergoes an alchemical ritual that makes him immortal. But things do not go as planned, and each time he is resurrected he loses his memory, retaining only flashes of his previous lives. In modern times, John lives peacefully in Paris with his girlfriend, Pauline. She is also immortal, but unlike John, she has kept her memories of her past lives. Together they will try to solve the mysteries of the past and reproduce the ritual so that John can keep his memories. They are not the only ones in search of these secrets however…
With its unique artistic style and mature storyline, this looks like it could be a fun game for adventure fans to go on a journey with. In 2019, the studio will also be releasing a story game inspired by Vertigo, Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece.
Check out the trailer above and let us know if you plan on checking this out in May...

First I've heard of this, actually. Story seems kinda cool at least.
'Mr Yesterday meet my watch list. Watch list, Mr Yesterday.'
Looks cool and physical so its a buy from me
Love the song reference
Let us put an end to this 'physical' lunacy, please. Yes, games (for example) such as ABOTW, Odyssey, Arms, MK8 and the like, games which take up a lot of storage space digitally, but for games small in file size, all that packaging/plastic...vulgar.
Uh excuse me writer, you might want to add a piece about it being Europe (and/or Australia only). So far all physical Microids releases have been.
Unless I'm missing something and this title is coming to NA. If so nice and sorry to bother
Kinda weird that Retail releases nowadays have to be mentioned as something special. Miss the good old times
@ieatdragonz Maybe they should make a deal with Nicalis who just publish in the States. That way we all can be happy and get our games!
@Pazuzu666
Is that you antimatter?
[mildly bummed] “Do you really think I’m the devil’s son?”
Haha! I’m curious about this.
seems interesting. waddup wit dat framerate doe?
Never heard of this; looks awesome. I'm slowly loosing all my money to Nintendo.
The art style makes me want to have a HD Version of XIII. Such a fantastic game
@SayGuh it's me.
I like point n click adventures so definitely interested in this. Haven't received it on PS/Gold yet either so it could be worth buying.
Little did they expect from the Spanish Inquisition
@Pazuzu666 vulgar maybe, re-sellable definitely. When I can take my e-shop purchases to CEX and get some cash for them then they'll be able to compete with physical.
Pendulo... I know their Runaway series. Looks like they improved their animation somewhat, but it's still rather bad. The Runaway series was overall pretty mediocre.
But wait, they're also making a game based on Blacksad apparently? Now I'm intrigued.
Looks interesting.
Sounds like my kind of game...
@Sabroni good luck with CEX...
