If they’re going to reunite and save the world, they’ve got to work together despite their separation, but how? Of course, something goes wrong, and although nerdy Bernard doesn’t move in time at all, his heavy metal-loving friend Hoagie becomes stranded 200 years in the past, and airheaded pre-med student Laverne gets stuck 200 years in the future. (He’s not attached to anything, just a big tentacle.) In the game’s opening cutscene, you unwittingly aid Purple Tentacle in the first steps along his journey to conquest, and mad scientist Fred Edison realizes that the only way to save the world is to send the three of you back in time 24 hours to stop the chain of events from even starting.
In DotT, you play as an unlikely trio of friends out to save the world from being taken over by a sentient, purple mutant tentacle. That said, when I grabbed Day of the Tentacle Remastered on a recent PSN sale, I knew that my prior experience was far enough back as to be of no help at all.ĭay of the Tentacle (DotT) is a sequel to another LucasArts classic, Maniac Mansion, but you can definitely jump straight in without playing its predecessor.
So this time, suffice it to say that I played Day of the Tentacle long before the remastered version and had very fond memories of it. I’ve given details on a number of my reviews about my long-standing love for the point & click adventure genre, and the LucasArts games in particular.
