Publié à l’origine par LucasArts en 1993 comme suite du révolutionnaire Maniac Mansion de Ron Gilbert, Day of the Tentacle est une aventure à énigmes qui défie l’entendement et le temps : trois amis improbables coopèrent pour empêcher un tentacule violet mutant maléfique de conquérir le monde !

Aujourd’hui, plus de vingt années après, Day of the Tentacle fait son retour dans une édition remastérisée qui comporte de toutes nouvelles illustrations en haute résolution faites à la main, ainsi qu’un son, une musique et des effets sonores (que la présentation marketing originale des années 90 décrivait comme "loufoque !") remastérisés.

Les joueurs pourront alterner entre les modes classique et remastérisé, et mélanger l’audio, les graphismes et l’interface selon leur envie. Nous avons aussi inclus un navigateur d'illustrations conceptuelles, et enregistré une piste de commentaires des créateurs originels du jeu, Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell et Clint Bajakian.

Day of the Tentacle fut le premier jeu de Tim Schafer en tant que codirecteur de projet, et le jeu a acquis un statut culte ! Cette édition spéciale a été restaurée et repensée avec un soin et une attention qui n’étaient imaginables qu’en faisant participer ses créateurs d’origine.
