Yesterday (also know as New York Crimes) is a 2012 graphic adventure game developed by the Spanish company Pendulo Studios and published by Focus Home Interactive. It follows the story of John Yesterday, a man hired to investigate the murder of homeless people in New York City. |

Yesterday begins in New York City, where a serial killer has been burning homeless people to death. The wealthy college student Henry White and his friend Samuel Cooper volunteer for the Children of Don Quixote charity, which seeks to help the city's homeless.
Yesterday was released under multiple titles worldwide. According to Josué Monchan, the changes were made to tailor the game's marketing to each region, in an effort to increase sales. He noted that the Spanish title New York Crimes was selected by FX Interactive to "emphasize the thriller angle and comic aesthetic". The German title, The Case of John Yesterday, was designed to capitalize on the popularity of investigative games in that market, while the Russian title of Yesterday: Mark of Lucifer tried to appeal to Russia's interest in satanic subject matter. Monchan said that the game was entitled Yesterday: A Pendulo Studios Game in the English- and French-speaking world to lean on the company's brand. It was also released on iOS, Pendulo's first-ever attempt at the platform. Rafael Latiegui said that Pendulo "started from scratch, diving head-first into the uncharted waters".

Thanks for watching!
It's funny but I love this kind of games with somewhat murky themes, like a real serial killer, this particular game looks great and it blew me away.
It is a game that looks very good, very good animation and at least the video that you post here makes one create good expectations.
