Evaluation
Day of the Tentacle Remastered launched on March 21, 2016 as a complete, self-contained remaster of the 1993 LucasArts classic. Double Fine released several post-launch patches addressing audio issues, bugs, and platform compatibility, and added a Linux version on July 11, 2016. On June 1, 2016, the developer explicitly stated that the 1.04 patch would be "the final update for DOTT Remastered," noting the team was moving on to work on Full Throttle Remastered. A subsequent Linux-specific patch in October 2016 addressed platform-specific optimizations, but no new content or features have been added since. The game shipped as a complete package with no DLC, no season pass, and no post-launch content cycle — and the developer formally confirmed that development had concluded.

About this game
Dr. Fred’s mutated purple tentacle is about to take over the world, and only you can stop him!
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.
