Yesterday Lite is a Roleplaying/Entertainment/Adventure game from Numeric Pipeline, first launched in 12th March 2013.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 40+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Yesterday Lite Stand Out
The first thriller by the indie studio that created the million-selling RUNAWAY saga!
A psycho is killing beggars alive in New York. A Y-shaped scar forms in the hands of seemingly unrelated people. The press and the media just don't care, so Henry White, a young NGO volunteer, will be the first to investigate the crimes with his friend Cooper. They are two of the three playable characters in Yesterday, the third being none other than the enigmatic John Yesterday, who is dragged into this twisted plot after his memory is completely wiped.
How far will you go to find out who John Yesterday is?

Community Insight:
This is the best point and click we have ever purchased from the App Store. It always has you guessing and surprises you in the ways you would least expect. WOW. A simple review doesnt give this game justice. You MUST play it yourself. We could not put this game down and theres a lot of gameplay involved, too. So you definitely get your moneys worth out of it. Wow. Wow. Wow. Creepy, fun, gripping, amazing, weird, dark, unexpected turns, so unique. Great, amazing, wonderful game. The graphics are beautiful as well.
We downloaded this app and it wont let us play.
Im trying to play on an iPhone X. To get to a save file you have to tap above to the left of the black boxes to select. Once in game tap response is accurate when guiding character but once you want to tap on the magnifying glass or hand you have to tap a bit above the options. Cant get to the menu/item section at all no matter where we tap on the screen. Up to this point completely unplayable :(.
Our version wont let pick a save file and this wont let us do anything but press the buy whole game option. Coincidence.
We cant get past the main menu screen because when we try to click on a save file to start the game, nothing happens. The game isnt registering that Im clicking on anything.
Great game it left us curious.
We love point and click adventures! Not those dumb finding objects crap. This was amazing! Every time we thought the game was going to end….BAM! Something new!!! Would be great to see a part 2 to this.
The best and darkest game in the App Store.
Fascinating game. Really enjoyed it. So different from all the rubbishy ipad games out there. Love the plot twists and the flash backs and forwards. You're left guessing all along till the end.
The game has a really good storyline and also has a mix of hard puzzles you need to solve.
We're hooked on this creepy and intriguing storyline, and it's challenging without being completely arbitrary like some point and click adventure games. The only problem is with the interface, it's really hard to select and drag/combine items.
We thought the dialogue was clever and it had a good plot line. Definitely entertaining.
We LOVE point & click adventure games. Any other suggestions would be great. We love the Runaway series. This one sucked us in after playing this trial & we had to buy it to continue. It was a great game & played great on our iPhone 6s Plus & iPad Pro (going huge to small was weird lol). Our only complaints are that it seemed wayyyy too short and felt even shorter after playing the trial part & having to pay so much. The price should have been a bit less in our opinion. We don't think we would have purchased it for so much, knowing how little of it was left to play…,but oh well, too late now. The game itself was good. Nice graphics, puzzles, voice acting…etc.
Game worked well for us. Gripping.
We have never played a game quite like this one. We have no idea what these ratings are about but we would definitely think it has more to do with not being able to be played on iPhone 6 or something like that. It plays awesomely on our iPad 4. We're buying the full version right now.
This is one of those games that needs to keep coming out with sequels. Definitely a game to remember. Great graphics and gameplay.
Interesting twists to the storyline. However some of the actions require odd revisits.
Opens to the title screen then nothing else happens.
It's just a dark screen once you select a box to start the game.
Can't select save game folder, so the game is unplayable. All we see is the name of the developer, then the 4 boxes, but we cannot select anything (including, and this may be fortunate, the purchase button)! Used to have this on iPad and it worked, but not on our iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.1.
We loved the game, the story played it over 3 times and still not bored, highly recommend it you won't regret.
This game was quite enjoyable, although short. Something very different for a mobile device game. Look forward to any further releases or updates.
This game is totally awesome u should play it.
Our first encounter with this game genre. Something we could play and come back to later.
Good story line, great mystery, nice game.
Story is good and hope come out with part 2. Keep wanting to know what happens at the end.
Never have written a single review. But this game is so well done that it is worth the effort.
One if the best apps out there! We're definitely buying the full version.
Great game – nice length for trial.
Awesome story line and great gaming mechanism.
It was fun but too. Too short wish there were more games like it.
We really love this game and the suspense :).
Game is nice with nice stunts story bu it is too short for the price . Story could be made more interesting and game length could be increased with more levels. Overall good story and game.
One of our favorites, for iPad, so far.
Beset game every !!! We love the whole thing but to bad but it's awesome game.
Great puzzles, clever humor, and just the right amount of red herrings to keep you guessing.
Much better than we were expecting.
Great game but why can't u keep them coming.. To short of a game but awesome game to have.. Don't take to long for the next one hurry.
We've been waiting for like this game.
One of the very best adventure type games we've ever played. It has a distinct visual style and the characters have great depth. We never pay $6.99 for full versions, but this one really tempts us, especially since it's heads above Big Fish and G5 games of the same price.
Downloaded the Lite, then bought the app.
It a very good game. U just have to use ur head.
This game is great! We hate the cliff hanger though, and how we have to pay $6.99 for the full version.
We bought the full version and found the game very entertaining. Though for the price it seems to be a short game. We finished it in less than 6 hours all together. We were expecting something more like the old game of fantasmagoria.
Finally a point and click with some teeth. Good twists and turns, nice puzzles and great choices at key points. Shut down a couple times but otherwise excellent. Thanks! Great game.
Reminiscent of Shadow of the Templars, point and click still works well. Enjoyable puzzles, interesting story line.
Nice story, we're wanting to see what happens next.
We enjoyed playing the game. There seemed be a a few glitches. Mostly during conversations. We like that you can play different people through it the progress of the game.
Really enjoyed this game. Reminded us of '90's adventure games on the pc. Will purchase the entire game.
We would give this game a 4 if it was a bit harder. Overall though it feeds our crazy mind and its pretty creepy. Not really scary but its good for a phone game if it was a bit harder.
