YIIK: A Postmodern RPG
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
YIIK: A Postmodern RPG is a surreal Japanese-style RPG set in the late '90s. After witnessing a woman vanish from an elevator with no plausible explanation, college graduate Alex gathers friendly misfits from the internet to investigate her disappearance. Alex's search for the truth leads him and his companions into a journey rife with mystery and danger... and who knows what lurks beyond the new millennium?
- Brave dungeons littered with puzzles, traps, and bizarre enemies. Yammering skulls, tortoise samurais, living stop signs... etc!
- Stay on your toes with a turn-based combat system anchored on twitchy mini-games.
- Brandish vinyl records, cameras, musical instruments and more unusual weapons. (Relax, weapons don't break.)
- Play through 30 hours of the main campaign and sidequests, rendered in a dreamlike, otherworldly graphic style that harkens back to the PSone era.
- The main story campaign features voice talents like Chris Niosi (Tales of Zestiria, Disgaea 5), Clifford Chapin (Attack on Titan, RWBY) and more.
- YIIK's eclectic electroacoustic soundtrack features contributors like Toby Fox (UnderTale), Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana) and Garoad (VA-11 Hall-A).

great game, nostalgic and story-driven
just yiiked in my girl
this is bad, i love it
Double dipped with this on Switch then Steam. No meme, genuinely an unironic hood classic, fuck what you heard
I played this expecting it to be awful like all the YouTubers said it was. Turns out this game is shockingly good and I'm super hyped for I.V. :)
how do i download an older version?
anyway i could play the old version of yiik?
This looks AMAZING! I`m definitely going to try it out within the next few weeks! I like the style and artwork! That`s impressive. All hail Unity! :)
Why "Oh No"? Is the game not available anymore?
The game is available and actively being updated with new content. :)
I made that post back when hating on yiik was cool and I thoroughly regret it (turns out the game is pretty cool)
This game looks fantastic. I am totally grabbing this on Switch. Out of pure curiosity, what engine was used to develop this?
Unity
Does this game work in Wine?
Yes, I tried it on wine and it does work. But again as with all applications through wine, it does have a performance hiccup at times.
I really like this game. I bought it on switch. I think there are a few things you could work on for the next project you guys work on. Combat feels slightly slow, but that is only a small problem. The other thing is that the writing feels a small bit stiff sometimes, and the main character is kinda unlikable. But I can get over these problems, as this game is certainly very interesting. And it also has a fantastic soundtrack, especially toby fox's track. Thanks for a great game!
