Yesterday (aka New York Crimes in Europe) is a blast from the past, a point-and-click adventure game from Runaway developer Pendulo Studios. The plot centers on John Yesterday, an amnesiac investigator looking into a satanic cult known as the Order of the Flesh. While many will find the gameplay quite simple to pick up and the puzzles not terrible difficult to solve, others may find themselves running in circles trying to find a solution that they just can't seem to work out. Or maybe puzzle games just aren't their thing, and they simply want to experience the plot and "cheat" their way to the end.
Either way, this Yesterday walkthrough guide can help. Good luck!
