unlabelledView post →Just for watching the trailer of the new version, YouTube is trying to serve me all the multi-hour roast videos of YIIK. 'Developer Drama' videos about it. Rumours surrounding it... I'm starting to think that the reaction to that game wasn't entirely healthy. No tiny indie project deserves that.
unlabelledView post →Tonight at 8:00PM EST our stream is YIIK with the actual developers of the game joining me. We did it everyone. We finally got our Dreamworks dance party ending with this game. You wont want to miss this.
unlabelledView post →Congrats on YIIK I.V. for winning Game of the Year!
unlabelledView post →Thanks for going on this journey with me, as we YIIKed out. YIIK was a fascinating game, and I think if you like weird independent art projects you should play it.
unlabelledView post →Toby's song "Into the Mind", originally made for YIIK: A Postmodern RPG, also appears in the crossover fighting game "Cross Impact", meaning Toby's music has appeared with well known indie characters like V1 from Ultrakill, Jacket from Hotline Miami, and Jumbo Josh.
unlabelledView post →people interested in the Age of Scorpius book internet drama should look into the Yiik video game internet drama. you've heard of "the mythical sword of immortality cursed anyone it touched with immortality", now get ready for "the elevator began to shake, vibrating with motion"
unlabelledView post →Discourse be damned, I've got to find more time to play the YIIK re-release. On the surface, a quixotic but laudable project to completely rebuild a pilloried game. They dropped a trailer the other day (not the one below), showing their hand - it's also a sequel to itself. NG+ mode is a new story.
unlabelledView post →NGL I do kinda find it funny how instead of this game being called Y2K (WHY-TWO-KAY), it's been referred to as Yiik and people call the Protag "Alex Yiik"
unlabelledView post →It's still popular to dunk on the devs and the game, but I'll say it again - I have HUGE respect for the developers of YIIK. That game was pilloried at launch. And for years after. It became a Cool Thing to do hours-long takedowns of it on YouTube. So they remade it. And released a sequel. Free.
unlabelledView post →Hot cheese... on a Big Mac? - DON'T TOUCH IT IT'S HOT Estimated 1300 calories (as one of the only people on Earth who have played YIIK front to back, I will defend that game until I die; it's ass but it's AMBITIOUS ass and I enjoyed it even after the plot started running away from itself)
unlabelledView post →You mother fuckers are NOT going to revisionist history YIIK as a "good game, actually" after ALL of the shitting on it LITERALLY EVERYONE EVER has done AND STILL DOES, that's CRAZY.
unlabelledView post →I do think this has to come with the caveat of knowing who your target audience is, because especially in the case where you’re projected as the protagonist in a game, you may alienate them, completely warranted or not i.e. Spec Ops: The Line, YIIK, SH: Short Message, Bloober Blair Witch, etc.
unlabelledView post →Tip: Don't look directly at The Camera I have been replaying YIIK: A Postmodern RPG. Always liked the game, but I love how the devs overhauled it with I.V. The Camera is my new favourite character. :) #YIIK #YIIKIV #art #fanart

unlabelledView post →Wait, what do you mean the shitty ass YIIK game is pronounced “why two Kay” instead of “YEEK” What the fuck
unlabelledView post →this game is like the complete inverse of YIIK
unlabelledView post →I have no idea how I can even talk about Yiik. It has been a wild game and I've loved it so far but I really can't recommend it to anyone

unlabelledView post →YIIK is genuinely a top 10 game for me so I'm gonna be there
unlabelledView post →ALSO. HONEST OPINION. THE OPINIONS OF YIIK: A POSTMODERN RPG EXPRESSED IN REVIEWS AND ON RESETERA WERE SO DEEPLY COUNTER TO THE THEMES OF THE GAME THAT ITS LIKE THESE GUYS JUST COULDN'T READ??????
unlabelledView post →The indie scene needs another game like YIIK, one where it caused a chain reaction of video essays from the complex opinions it invokes.
unlabelledView post →Drew this in 2022 and it still holds up. One of my favourite pieces I’ve made for this game. I love this game. #yiik

unlabelledView post →my favorite game is... girl YIIK?
unlabelledView post →Oh my god Alex Yiik is the worst man who's ever lived. Oh my god we have to spend a whole game with him don't we? We will...Keep giving this game. A fair shot. If Two Brothers is referenced one more time I'm crashing out again. Live with more YIIK! www.twitch.tv/veggiebltail
unlabelledView post →watching my partner play the YIIK update this game genuinely looks insane now what the fuck this could’ve been a Suda51 game lmao
unlabelledView post →I forgot to say yesterday Idk if I've crashed out this hard about a game before on stream but Jesus I hated Yiik lmao
unlabelledView post →wait, they basically rebuilt YIIK from the ground-up and put the sequel in the game for free? ....I might be interested in YIIK now....
unlabelledView post →The helloitsmouse/Joseph Anderson streams of Yiik have really endeared me to the game and I'm so glad to have watched someone give the game a more solid, honest shot where they explored the themes. I'd absolutely like to play Yiik myself to try draw my own conclusions. Also carta looks fun.
unlabelledView post →shareholders would never allow a game like YIIK to be made, therefore all shareholders = bad.
unlabelledView post →Watching all the YIIK characters interact on this app is my substitute for a new Tomodachi life game.
unlabelledView post →YIIK is a good video game ya'll just hate schizophrenic white hipsters
unlabelledView post →So... I tried YiiK I.V as I had a copy of YiiK from 2020 for my Switch... Holy shit, first time I am proud to say I am a YiiK fan, I am glad I.V improved the game so hard. It went from Quirky Earthbound game to a Swery65 game.
unlabelledView post →Say what you want about YIIK: A Postmodern RPG as a game. But I gotta hand it to them, Alex's leitmotif has not left my brain in the last 7 years, I STILL whistle that shit at random like the NMH motif

unlabelledView post →which often is the most uncharitable reading about a thing. if i were to point to something i feel like does this well, it would be tehsnakerer's review of YIIK because it does try its best to engage where the game is at even if the critic is obviously not a fan of it vs the running shine review
unlabelledView post →OMG hi, I wasn’t expecting the devs to see my post! The work you guys have put into Yiik is truly incredible, I hope that the development of the new game is going well and I can’t wait to check it out when it releases :D
unlabelledView post →Ive been playing Yiik and I still don't entirely know how to feel about it?????? I'm confused but intrigued. Art direction in the game is really neat and the battle system is unique but a bit annoying.
unlabelledView post →does anyone know if YIIK: A Postmodern RPG is actually good as a game or is it just a thing everyone made fun of
unlabelledView post →*playing a game with a story in it* "Ya know, this reminds me alot of YIIK I.V"
unlabelledView post →Every time I see this game brought up I flinch cause when I hit "NG+" and the screen said "YIIK 2"I honest to god went through all five stages of grief in an hour. Genuinely, not an exaggeration, I don't even know why cause it's not the *worst* game I played, I think
unlabelledView post →Help I read yilk as YIIK (as in the game)
unlabelledView post →what's even funnier about that scene is that in the fiction of YIIK Alex mischaracterises Roy to fit his own narrative. Alex never finished the game "Two Brothers"
unlabelledView post →Ohhhhh, THAT was the game Toby was talking about! It wasn't Omori, it was YIIK the whole time!
unlabelledView post →I love these indie games that look like they were all made in “Game Studio, Seattle”. The type of games Alex Yiik would make if he was around today and realized that coding was too hard to do and instead of getting inspired by SNES RPGs, he was inspired by quantumdream
unlabelledView post →Tbh some Yiik fans still struggle with viewing Alex as a person instead of just a shit head lol Which I find reductive to the game story
unlabelledView post →hit(?) 2019 game YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG
unlabelledView post →To be fair If the game was called y2k the game would be unsearchable. So Yiik it was.
unlabelledView post →I wish YIIK was a good game.
unlabelledView post →There's two games that, upon seeing the name/cover art, I legit took a few moments to realise weren't sequels to Yiik (which I just learned was pronounced "Y Two K") First was The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. My dyslexic ass read it as "Millennial Tales" And this:
unlabelledView post →Am I correct in remembering that YIIK eventually got re-evaluated upwards? (maybe there was re-release with a significant rewrite of the game involved in there?)
