Yesterday Origins is a 2016 graphic adventure game developed by the Spanish company Pendulo Studios and published by Microïds. Both a prequel and a sequel to Pendulo's earlier Yesterday, the game follows protagonists John Yesterday and his girlfriend Pauline as they try to unravel the mystery of John's immortality. The player takes control of John and Pauline and explores the game world, solves puzzles, collects items and converses with non-player characters.

Yesterday Origins began development in November 2014. It was the first new title that Pendulo had embarked on since 2012, when financial problems had forced the company to restructure.

Reviews for Yesterday Origins were generally mixed, according to Metacritic, although its release for Xbox One won positive reviews and was among the highest-scoring Spanish-made games on the website by 2017.
