YesterMorrow Review

YesterMorrow is running, jumping, climbing and collecting game where you play Yui, whose world has been destroyed and family kidnapped. To save them you journey through the four islands, forest, desert, ice, and clockwork, to collect "everlight" and fight the Shadows. It's a simple game with minimal combat and an unusual ability to switch between time periods.

As you progress you unlock more abilities that allow you to access new areas in previous locations. You can talk to characters and befriend animals. The game's main hook is the time travelling that lets you switch between the broken world and the time before it fell apart. This grants access to both the story as well as a new way to solve puzzles. Both you and the world age back and forth with each transition.

It's a game that starts slowly, focusing on puzzles much more at the beginning. You need a degree of patience and button pressing skill to progress at some points, but the combination of this minimal approach to combat and the time switching make it an unusual game that's great to play in the family.
