On paper, YesterMorrow is a really neat concept for a game. A side-scrolling adventure, its main twist is the ability to jump between two separate timelines, spaced several years apart. You play as Yui, a young girl whose life is thrown into disrepair after her home is destroyed and her family kidnapped by ‘Shadows’ during the Festival of Light. Wracked with guilt for failing to act quick enough, she sets off on an adventure to reverse her misfortunes, save her family, and fix her past.
What’s immediately striking with YesterMorrow is its visuals; the game looks really slick right from the start. It’s not pixelated, but the art style utilised certainly gives off a pixelated effect. The characters are ‘chunky’ in an endearing, adorable way, and the environments are bursting with colour and personality. There are lots of little details, from the way water ripples when you walk through it, to how Yui’s hair swishes about as you jump across platforms. Oh, and you can pet lots of animals.
