Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow comes Today Critic Reviews

Having as its focal point a topic that will never cease to preoccupy humanity, boasting ideal scaling of the plot and being equipped with one of the best characters' roster that a representative of adventure games can present, it makes us already expect the first announcement regarding the beginning of its sequel's production.

Graphic adventure fans are living a second golden age of the genre, with great games coming out regularly. Dead Synchronicity is yet another solid and engaging adventure that, at least, deserves a try.

Yet another story about ordinary people turned into monsters by uniforms, but one of few games that manage to tell such a story really well.

Just like if someone had tried to mix the future after the pulse in James Cameron's Dark Angel with the ghettos and refugee camps of a war conflict, the visuals, the atmosphere and the misery surround us every second in this game, a great old-school graphic adventure made in Spain by four people. Good puzzles, curious OST and a great story make Dead Synchronicity one of those games that fans of the genre should try.

A good point & click adventure that takes place in a hostile and unusual environment, with lots of interesting characters & puzzles to solve, although they don´t always have the most logical solution.

Dead Synchronicity provides narrative and mechanics with no shame in showing how hard and raw humanity could be and how beautiful a graphic adventure is.

Dead Synchronicity is the result of a lot of work from a few people, but also an excellent point & click adventure made in Spain with an exciting plot.

Dead Synchronicity is not a game for the faint-hearted. But if you can accept a dark tale with a series of harrowing scenes narrated without unnecessary easement plus the 4-hours play-time is acceptable for you, this title is the right one for you.

Even with a few rough edges, Dead Synchronicity stands as a modern adventure classic, telling a dark, sad and brutal tale that will leave you wanting more, but equally satisfied.

A very worthwhile game for anyone who enjoys a point and click adventure with a compelling story, characters, and outstanding presentation.

An interesting setting, good puzzles and peculiar art style make Dead Synchronicity a worthwhile adventure both for veterans and newbies of the genre.

Dead Synchronicity is an interesting debut from the Spanish Fictiorama Studios. Although the story stumbles a bit, the unique visual style of the game and its well-written world keep the player interested.

It's an interesting graphic adventure, but in the end the narrative feels less and less focused, and the puzzles are way too easy for veterans of the genre.

It's amazing for a project created by three siblings from Spain and one artist. But it's a bit short and the cliffhanger at the end keeps you asking for more.

Dead Synchronicity is an impressively dark, grimy, and uncomfortable excursion into a horrible and oppressive future.

Surreal and unforgivingly sinister Adventure in a post-apocalyptic world that stumbles over the generic puzzle design.

Overall, Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today uses a great art style, creates great atmosphere and has complimentary music to create a dark and stylish game to liven up its point-and-click gameplay. However, the flow of the story is regularly broken up by puzzles that are equal parts confusing and seemingly without order that end up with the player spending far too much time trying to advance the story.

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.

Intriguing, dark and engaging atmosphere keeps players interested, but the story ends with a disappointment.

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.
