Despite the side-scrolling perspective for navigation, Yesterday is an RPG without any action elements, similar to its "sister games" Caroll and Emerald Densetsu. The player navigates the heroine through vast side-scrolling environment, fighting randomly appearing enemies. During the turn-based battles, the game switches to first-person view. Items and equipment can be bought in friendly areas. Leveling up is automatic; magic spells are learned depending on the protagonist's level.
