YIIK: A Postmodern RPG

Experience YIIK: A Postmodern RPG 1.5 (I.V) update with revamped battles and cutscenes. A child relinquishes her name for a birthday invite, hoping to find her brother. Alex's reality unravels, guided by a mysterious cat, witnessing a woman vanish, igniting an obsession that threatens his world.

YIIK: A Postmodern RPG ought to be a mixed experience. There are elements of the game, particularly the music, that are excellent. There are those, like the combat, that are not so good.
