A short, gentle musical journey through song, with a calming pace and a heartfelt fantasy story.

What players say

Players call Yi a 15-30 minute interactive musical with simple walking and arrow shooting. The soundtrack earns consistent praise while the story and gameplay barely register. Reviews are split on whether it is worthwhile, some players find its experimental nature charming, while others consider it too minimal to recommend.
