Description
Originally released by LucasArts in 1993 as a sequel to Ron Gilbert’s ground breaking Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle is a mind-bending, time travel, cartoon puzzle adventure game in which three unlikely friends work together to prevent an evil mutated purple tentacle from taking over the world!

Now, over twenty years later, Day of the Tentacle is back in a remastered edition that features all new hand-drawn, high resolution artwork, with remastered audio, music and sound effects (which the original 90s marketing blurb described as ‘zany!’)

Players are able to switch back and forth between classic and remastered modes, and mix and match audio, graphics and user interface to their heart's desire. We’ve also included a concept art browser, and recorded a commentary track with the game’s original creators Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian.

Day of the Tentacle was Tim Schafer’s first game as co-project lead, and a much beloved cult classic! This special edition has been lovingly restored and remade with the care and attention that can only come from involving the game's original creators.
  • 100% new hand painted, high resolution artwork
  • Switch on the fly between classic mode and remastered mode
  • Remastered high quality voices, sound effects and music, with emulated “iMuse” style dynamic music
  • Choose between two remastered music modes: modernized, re-voiced music, or classic music which sounds just like it did in the 90s
  • Concept Art Browser
  • Highly customizable user interface and experience, with mix and match options for old and new play styles - play with the verb bar in remastered mode, or the new verb dial in classic mode
  • Commentary track with original creators: Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian.
  • Game within a game: Includes full playable version of Maniac Mansion!

8.8/10
Thanks to the timeless quality of the writing, Day of the Tentacle remains as enjoyable today as it was when first released over twenty years ago. Faithfulness to the original art design is reflected in every lovingly-drawn line and hue of the gorgeous graphical presentation, and the zany humor is consistently spot-on. New players should be aware that the leaps in logic can make a few of the puzzles very difficult, but the witty wisecracks keep the search for solutions tremendously entertaining.

A lovingly remastered version of a LucasArts classic. Day of the Tentacle is every bit as funny and entertaining as it was back in 1993.

Why is this not working on my M4 Macbook

Issue in the title. Installs and then says it's damaged?

Not as funny as I rememebered.

The game is a good remaster but the humor doesn't quite hold up. It can be beaten in a few hours and I felt that the voices for the NPCs were bad and corny, like they got bad mimics of 1980's looney tunes. Some of the dialogue will make you chuckle but nothing more. I understand that most people will play this for nostalgia purposes but for the player that is older that may have missed this one, I don't think it's all that appealing.

holds up reasonably

this game reminds me of Broken Age by Double Fine's Tim Schafer, because I played that one first. I see now where he got the inspiration for BA. I've played many puzzle games: old and new; point and clicks, escape room-styles, wadjet eye games, visual novels, layton games, etc. and maybe this would have been a 4/5 in '93, but now...it's O.K. Still funny though

Fun game, way too short. Lacking.

I'm a massive fan of Adventure games. And I finally got around to play Day of the Tentacle. I've always been aware of the game, but never got around to actually playing it until recently. While the game still has that LucasArts charm... it feels incredibly short and lacking. The puzzles seem more simple than something like Monkey Island. The ending too was very lackluster. Overall, not
