Originally released by LucasArts in 1993 as a sequel to Ron Gilbert’s ground breaking Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle is a mind-bending, time travel, cartoon puzzle adventure game in which three unlikely friends work together to prevent an evil mutated purple tentacle from taking over the world!
Now, over twenty years later, Day of the Tentacle is back in a remastered edition that features all new hand-drawn, high resolution artwork, with remastered audio, music and sound effects (which the original 90s marketing blurb described as ‘zany!’).
Players are able to switch back and forth between classic and remastered modes, and mix and match audio, graphics and user interface to their heart’s desire. We’ve also included a concept art browser, and recorded a commentary track with the game’s original creators Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian.
Day of the Tentacle was Tim Schafer’s first game as co-project lead, and a much beloved cult classic! This special edition has been lovingly restored and remade with the care and attention that can only come from involving the game's original creators.
It's a three day weekend, which means an extra 24 hours of gaming time has just appeared in your life, just like when you put on an old pair of jeans and find a $20 bill in the pocket.
How will you use it? So many options!
It's OK you don't need to think for yourself, we'll tell you what to do - Play this all-time classic adventure game at this crazy low low discounted price! There's literally not a better answer available to you and anyone who says there is is clearly deluded, or a huge liar, or maybe both.
If you encounter them simply raise your hand up in front of their face, and repeat after me "Speak the newly-mutated tentacle-hand bozo!!" That should put them in their place.
Now you are free to enjoy Day of the Tentacle Remastered! Have fun!

Day of the Tentacle Remastered has been updated today with a mixture of bug fixes and requested features!
We looked at the highest rated issues on our support site , and tried to address everything we agreed would be great to have fixed or added. We ‘re happy to report that along with numerous fixes, we were able to address requests such as adding more save slots to Maniac Mansion, and adding in the classic compressed sound effects as an alternate sound option.
Unless major issues are discovered, this will be the final update for DOTT Remastered, allowing the team to move on to work on Full Throttle Remastered! (other than the Linux version which is coming soon!)

Another patch is going up today with the following fixes:
- Audio - improved accuracy of remastered pitch bend logo sound in the intro cutscene.
- Art - fixed a minor bug where a stray white pixel appeared in Laverne's shoes in a particular costume.
- Art - fixed a minor bug where Green Tentacle sorted behind a desk incorrectly in a certain room.
Commentary - fixed a minor typo in English. - UI - removed the concept art unlocked notification at the top of the screen during gameplay. You can still see when new art has been unlocked by looking at the main/pause menu.
- Fixed a bug where the wrong language would be selected by default on the first launch of the game depending on the OS user interface language.
- Windows - worked around an issue where the window location could be saved in a bad location if you played on multiple monitors and then later unplugged the monitor the game window was displayed on.
We're still working through all the issues reported on our support site, if you are experiencing any problems or have a suggestion please let us know. At some point we will have to cease working on patching the game any further unless major issues are found, so please report (or vote on) anything you'd like us to consider! http://support.doublefine.com
