What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Fun story with great twists.
The graphics are really weird, the atmosphere is beautiful, like in most Pendulo games, but the character sprites feel out of place, like you are playing the Runaway characters in a Chzo's Mythos game.
GAMEPLAY: As a classic Sierra/LucasArts-style adventure game, Yesterday tries very hard to smooth over the inherent tedium of the genre.
As to the voice acting itself, I am pleased that it is far from the game's greatest failing.
Many are logical and intuitive, encouraging players to think carefully about inventory items, environmental cues, and dialogue clues.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No themes split opinion in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
