Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Dead Synchronicity makes a generally calm genre exciting and cleverly blends old horror and sci-fi tropes into a stylish new post-apocalyptic tale.
All in all, Fictiorama Studios has delivered a good game with an interesting setting, raw characters, unique artwork and a story that leaves you guessing. While it is a two part story and the first part's ending is jarring and strangely executed, it still is a good example of testing the medium of gaming in a storytelling sense. Hopefully, the next entry will handle its big reveals better than its predecessor, but perhaps we will all be dissolved before that time comes.
The gameplay mechanics and presentation values in Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today are solid, but the puzzles will frustrate a segment of the audience. Worse yet, the end does not pay off the effort to get there. There is an interesting narrative at play that makes this dark, depressing world worth exploring, but I cannot fully escape the feeling that this is an incomplete, but valiant effort.
Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today is a point and click adventure game with a sinister twist in a post-apocalyptic world. Seemingly similar in plot to many other post-apocalyptic puzzle games, Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today, or Dead Synchronicity for short, is anything but. As a PC port with great 2D art style graphics and a unique storyline full of dark moments, Dead Synchronicity has a lot of potential to be a great game on the PS4. Unfortunately this game is riddled with problems that just do not live up to the expectations.
Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today is a game that is quite hard to judge. On the one hand the art style, atmosphere, and interesting story premise are things that are worth experiencing. However the pacing of the puzzles can be frustrating, especially when what would appear to be the obvious solutions don’t work in a world where regular logic usually applies. It is a very well crafted title and the effort of the team can be seen. At the same time the puzzles are as infuriating as the atmosphere is brilliant.
