AGS Panel review for this game:
The AGS Review Panel has left a comment about this game: It was tempting to give this game 3 cups because of the wonderful visuals, but the sometimes problematic translation, the picky order in which inventory items need to be used on each other in order to work and the computer display buttons not being very responsive bring down an otherwise good but short game.

Posted by uvaagsfan on 2007-10-05 at 22:57 (IP logged): Way too short, features like the computer and the navigation system of the hovercar were very cool and I would have liked to see them more developed. What was in the game, was pretty good though. I enjoyed it. Posted by Token0978 on 2007-09-11 at 20:39 (IP logged): Very simple and short, but a good time-waster. I wish I could play further into the "day". Posted by acme on 2007-08-24 at 16:29 (IP logged): A good game but not enough depth. Posted by Glamrocker91 on 2007-03-11 at 00:34 (IP logged): Although this is a short game, it is still quite fun and matches up with long and medium length games, the puzzles are great and the graphics are good, very nice game for a short game. Posted by Blood on 2006-11-23 at 16:58 (IP logged): Hi, I don't know if you are french so i write in english ;) I've finished A Day in the Future" and i'd like to say, thank you ! At least, an adult game with wirter reference in a dark vision on future with a story about, not an armagaddon, not a princess kidnaped by somebody, just the life of a civil like others in a big city. I've appreciate too the final reference to Mean Streets and the spirit very "divide by zero" and especially Jack T. Ladd if you know, others of my favorite games. Right now, i'm webmaster of a french site about reviews and interviews in the retro-gamin especially www.aitpast.com ;) I'd like your game, it is short, sure, but the idea are here. The simple life of a civil in a big city, society review, with this little game, i've drink a cup of anticipation and i like it. If you have project about another game or a sequel in the same spirit (adventure /science fiction), i can purpose to help you about writing, puzzles and beta testing, check me if you want :) Cheers and thank you again for this short moment of pleasure :) Blood Posted by Pablo on 2005-09-10 at 17:20 (IP logged): This was the first ever AGS game I've played. And I must say it's a very good one! I liked the graphics quite a lot and the puzzles were good. And the ending video looked very cool. I could recommend this short game, if you have a couple of minutes to spend. Posted by Lord_Nipper on 2005-05-02 at 18:35 (IP logged): It seems a rather unpleasant future to spend a day in... but the setting and sprites were good, even though some things still didn't make sense. Overall not a bad short game, although i did find it difficult to find the 5 cts you needed to leave the room (its also ludicrus that a door asks you for money to leave a room, but thats besides the point) Posted by Dorcan on 2004-06-08 at 16:16 (IP logged): Err sorry, I reaaally don't know what you're talking about. Who ? Philip DICK !? Who's that guy ??? That's right, I haven't mentioned it was inspired from a novel of P.K.D IN the game because I forgot to do so, and as it was just a bad scripted test game, I don't really care anymore. But! It's clearly written on my website : http://www.digitalmindstudio.ch/jeux.php?id=1&langue=en So all I have to say is : Chut ! Posted by JudgeDeadd on 2004-06-07 at 23:41 (IP logged): It's a cheap Philip K. Dick rip-off. Did you read Ubik? If yes, then you know what I mean. Posted by Andy on 2004-03-29 at 01:37 (IP logged): One of those fun 'get out of it' scenarios, where you have to escape from the room. I have to say the cutscenes were impressive, and worth working for. Posted by Quinny on 2004-03-19 at 01:37 (IP logged): Liked the graphics. The ending was cool! Posted by Krynge on 2004-03-01 at 04:32 (IP logged): This game is short but COOL. Posted by Ozwalled on 2003-10-31 at 22:59 (IP logged): Short, and I'm not so sure that the buildup you get in the intro sequence was necessary, unless the author plans on taking the game further. Most of what you're presented with goes nowhere. Still, for what's here, it's not bad at all and is worth playing for the short time it lasts. Would be great as an intro into a full game. Posted by Magnus on 2003-01-27 at 06:55 (IP logged): Short but nice. Cool soundtrack. Well done =)
