Yesterday Origins is a 2016 graphic adventure game developed by the Spanish company Pendulo Studios and published by Microïds.

The player takes control of John and Pauline and explores the game world, solves puzzles, collects items and converses with non-player characters.

In the present day, John and his girlfriend Pauline sell a huge Japanese sculpture to Baxter, an eccentric millionaire heiress.

When leaving New York, John is kidnapped by Baxter's head of security and taken back to France, where he meets father Ginés, now old and decrepit, who only lives two or three weeks before dying and returning as a frail old man.

Following Pendulo Studios' unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign for its project Day One in September 2012,[1] the developer neared bankruptcy and entered a two-year period of inactivity.

[7] Pendulo attempted to make Yesterday Origins harder than its last several games, following a yearslong trend of reducing the difficulty of each successive title in response to market demands.

[9] Pendulo chose the prequel-sequel format in an effort to make the game equally understandable and enjoyable for both series newcomers and players of the original Yesterday, according to Monchan.
