The mysterious story kept me playing and the puzzles are - mostly - well implemented. For sure it is not an adventure that sacrifices Gameplay for the sake of the story. If you love traditional adventure games you'll probably not complain about that - if not you probably will. Completing this game will likely take around 6 hours, maybe 7 or so if you take your time.

    There is a lot of dialog here, which is not uncommon for adventure games. Rushing it won't do you good. The more you listen the more you get drawn into this world. But keep in mind that this is only the first game. There will be sequels continuing this story. At the end you will learn a lot about the protagonist which from my point of view will probably give you at least some sort of accomplishment but it will lead to much bigger questions. No idea yet when the next game will be out but I'm looking forward to it.    … Expand

    This game is one of the best adventures I have ever played - and I played a lot, let me tell you that. Normally adventure games are kind of funny and suited with a huge amount of humor, but this one really gets into your bones - the music, the art style, the story. Everything makes perfectly sense and you feel like you're a part of this post apocalyptical atmosphere.

    Dead Synchonicity shows a hard and brutal truth, a possibility, how the world could be if everyone's looking out for himself. There are many games with similar topics in games, but Dead Synchro somehow manages it to get the player's attention immediately and conveys a exciting and fascinating plot which will make your pulse go faster! Fictiorama succeeded in making a super classic point and click adventure.

    Enjoy!    … Expand

    Great game. The story and the soundtrack are really the two points that stand out from the very beginning. The graphics are hand drawn and the animations are limited. I'm personally a fan of more realistic graphics (like those in Dracula:Path of the Dragon for example) but some people prefer a more simplistic approach. I think the former would suit this game very well though. It's not aGreat game. The story and the soundtrack are really the two points that stand out from the very beginning.

It is however very atmospheric. Overall, a great experience I would say !… Expand

    All in all - i like that game ... had it been given a visual overhaul and especially better voice acting - it could have made it to my top choices for classic adventures. Since the primary concern of a good adventure is the story and the immersion of the player into the story - it is still clearly a good choice though.

    postscript:
    I am aware that much of the visual design is just that - a design choice. but i found the very nice backgrounds contrasting with the paper-cut-out design of the characters. Personally, i would have rather gone with a design similar to that of Flashback/Another World (flatshade vector models) - with fluid but low detail animation - instead of the more detailed and barely animated design adopted - but that is a matter of taste i think.    … Expand

    This game is gloomy and provides the player with quite a few bitter pills to swallow. It's a postapokalyptic, dystopian, punk and nihilistic ride of what may or maybe not our future one day. The most intriguing thing about the setting is the people, their relations, their societies, their bussinesses. Bizzare as it maybe it also makes quite a lot of sense and that makes it even scarier.This game is gloomy and provides the player with quite a few bitter pills to swallow.

Anyway, well written and spoken dialogues, very good comic graphics, quite a few bright ideas and superb storytelling that makes you discover the story the same way you rebuild a shattered mosaic. I like that a lot. Can't think of any downsides apart from the ending. Me and my partner had really great time playing this.… Expand

    Absolute gem. A true return to what adventure gaming should be. Local solutions to puzzles, intense atmosphere, unique story to a seemingly cliché setting.

    Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today is the type of game to give you nightmares, and not just because of that mangled title. Though that's probably part of it.

    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. [Aug 2015]

    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. [06/2015, p.74]
