It all began 500 years ago when a young John Yesterday was imprisoned for sorcery by the Spanish Inquisition. After escaping from his cell, he was forced to undergo an alchemic ritual that made him immortal. Whenever he dies, he comes back to life at the age he was when he died for the first time.
One problem: every time he comes back to life, he has no memory of the past. During the present day, John lives a quiet life with his immortal partner, Pauline Petit. Together, they leave on a quest to find a special artifact that will allow him to repeat the alchemic ritual correctly so he never loses his memory again.

Yesterday Origins is a remarkable graphic adventure that, however, does not manage to shine on Nintendo Switch due several technical issues. It remains the memorable piece of art it once was, with a wonderful story to follow, but there are some serious drops in framerate that need to be worked on.
Yesterday Origins is an interesting game for all the players who like point & click games. The story catches up the players and it makes them feel inside an interactive historical novel.
Yesterday Origins has the rather unusual task of bringing a point and click adventure game to the Nintendo Switch eShop...and it works, as this is a fully enjoyable game that features a short but interesting plot, with some very good dialogue lines, a well adapted control scheme and a top notch audiovisual environment. The game may not be up everyone's alley, as its slow pace may put some players off but this is a successful and interesting game of an unusual genre in consoles that is well worth of the players' attention.
Yesterday’s Origins doesn’t attempt to change the formula of the point and click adventure and that’s okay. The story is delightfully bonkers and it looks pretty, but if you dig deep there’s some repetition, some odd stylistic choices and you might not recall it in years to come, but it’s nice to see such a game on Nintendo Switch.
Yesterday Origins is a mediocre title. Where you follow interesting characters and settings, most of the time the puzzles feel like to much out of place. You can immerse yourself in an interesting story, with terrible voice overs.
