John Yesterday and his partner Pauline are immortal, but each time John dies and returns he forgets who he is. The story runs in two timelines: present-day Paris, where the couple search for an artifact needed to remake the potion behind their condition, and flashbacks to 1481, when a young John is suspected of witchcraft and imprisoned by the Inquisition. Old acquaintances have their own plans for him.
Made by Pendulo Studios, which also made Runaway, it is a single-player adventure that moves between eras and across the world. It supports controllers fully and suits players who like mystery, conspiracy and puzzle-driven storytelling.
