Day of the Tentacle Remastered

| Reading time: 2 minutes

Originally released in 1993, Day of the Tentacle is a classic of the point and click genre. I've never played the original, and got this one as a free monthly PS Plus game. This version has updated graphics, and looks great. You can also swap to the original graphics at any point.

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
