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...
Serving as both a prequel and a sequel to the earlier game Yesterday, the story follows John Yesterday and his girlfriend Pauline as they try to unravel the mystery of John's immortality. One thread reaches back centuries, to when John first became immortal: captured by the Spanish Inquisition, he escapes with the aid of Father Ginés, who translates the arcane Book of the Flesh in pursuit of a potion of immortality. The other thread plays out in the present day, where John and Pauline make their living dealing in rare artifacts. When John stumbles upon a clue linked to the Book of the Flesh, the discovery pulls the couple back into the dark secrets of his endless life, forcing them to confront the origins of his curse.

I don't often review games on steam. I'm lazy, and usually leave that to other people. This time... I felt I had to voice my opinion. Let me preface this and say I've played all of Pendulo's adventure games, right back to Runaway: A Road Adventure (on CD no less). I've enjoyed them all, except this one. The deviation from standard adventure mechanics was too much for me. So, onto a list of positives and negatives. Negatives: - The interface. It's an abomination. All those pop up windows that you need to drag around to find hot spots. - Adventure system: Not only do you need to pick up items to use, but you then need to provide the game a reason why you're using them, after discovering that why. It's convoluted and unnecessary. - Several of the pop up windows require almost pixel perfect accuracy to find a hot spot. - Using the mouse is unpleasant, on a point n click adventure, the mou
Almost good I love Pendulo games so I had high hopes for this. I love their classic point and click games, they have some flaws like some illogical puzzles, but most of the time their games are good and I enjoy them. I especially like their stories. This game is far from perfect but I enjoyed it. I wish they would’ve stick to old classic formula of the genre. Broken sword 5 got back to the roots and it shines, it has that nostalgia feeling, looks and plays great. For some reason Pendulo gone 3D. Yeah I get it Pendulo you have 3D designers who can design 3D items and you can view and rotate them. But why waste resources on this? “oh look a hammer in 3D”, every inexperienced 3D artist can do this. Instead you could’ve paid more attention to actual gameplay. It feels like all the work was done for making all those characters and items and the ability to rotate and view them from all the s
Short version: 78% If you liked Yesterday, you will love Origins, since it is largely the same with more content (including two timelines and two protagonists) and a cinematic approach. If you somehow missed that game, then you can just start with this one to get the same experience, only with better polish. Long version: Yesterday Origins is a game of dualities. Not only it is both the prequel and the sequel to Pendulo’s (probably) most serious point ‘n’ click adventure, Yesterday, but it is also a unique mixture of interactive storytelling and traditional adventure game mechanics. Because of this duality, we are almost playing two different games here. One is set in the Middle Ages, exploring the titular hero’s past life as he turned from a scared youngster into a merciless Satanist. The other deals with his present-day midlife crisis, where he struggles with a girlfriend who cannot
pros + gorgeous looking and colorful hand drawn comic book style background artwork and character models + well made long cartoony cut scenes + many different and interesting cast of characters + good character animations + decent voice acting + nice musics + hard to solve but mostly enjoyable puzzles. there are lots of inventory-based puzzles which you can combine some items + story is engaging + there is auto save + when you click to upper left corner, hotspots highlighted so no need to pixel hunting. cons - controls and interface mechanics made for gamepad so playing this game with mouse and keyboard quite frustrating - if you want to get all achievements you should make some chores such as click all hotspots or you may have to replay game if you want to get all achievements - Pauline basically a snotty gender stereotype. - I did suffer from a couple technical difficulties during m
10 hours in and loving this game. Have waited a long time for the return of Pendulo and John Yesterday. The only downside is, when the game says it plays better with a controller, it's true. Kinda clunky interface with the mouse. But the story and graphics make up for that. Recommended for Pendulo fans especially.
A cursed immortality, or a chronicle of obsession. A story-driven point-and-click adventure with sparse interaction and a strong focus on dialogue.
