Day of The Tentacle Remastered Trailer Released

Day of the Tentacle is a quirky point-and-click adventure game developed by LucasArts and the successor to the 1987 cult classic Manic Mansion. Created in 1993, Day of the Tentacle is a mind-bending, time travel, cartoon puzzle adventure game which follows the events of three unlikely friends working together to prevent an evil mutated purple tentacle from taking over the world! Day of the Tentacle is one of my favourite adventure games of all time and I’m overjoyed to see a remaster being made. So what does this latest version entail? According to Double Fine Adventures:

“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.”

For those of you interested in this particular remake, it’s well worth checking out the trailer below:

The special edition remaster is expected to release in March 2016 on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Windows, OS X and Linux PCs.
