Day of the Tentacle got a new lease of life thanks to Double Fine’s remaster. But some fans have opted to go one step further with Return of the Tentacle, a fan-made sequel that’s incredibly faithful to the original point-and-click adventure.
The whole game is available for Windows, MacOS and Linux for free over at itch.io. It’s actually staggering how much work has gone into this: it’s got a soundtrack of its own, English and German subtitles and voiceovers, and an updated interface that’s not actually frustrating to use at all.
