PS Plus January: 8 Reasons You Must Play Day Of The Tentacle Remastered

3. The Animation

The creators claim that they were inspired by Chuck Jones' movies about Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck not only in character, but also in background creation. The artist spent a whole year creating the in-game animations.

It was one of the best-looking - and best overall, of course - graphic adventure games of the time. It actually looked like a cartoon. The remastered version is really polished, which makes it even better.

Its already visible in the first cut-scene, when the Purple Tentacle drinks the polluted water. You're expecting a large transformation, there's quite a build-up, but in the end, two tiny hands grow out and that's it.

It's a perfectly executed comedic moment.
