How it feels
A deliberately janky, surreal, and self-consciously quirky RPG that blends psychedelic horror with offbeat humor and a disorienting 90s nostalgia.

What players say
Players are split on YIIK. Many praise the large 1.5 and I.V updates that revamped the combat to a strategic card system and added more music, but the protagonist Alex is widely called unlikeable. The story is described as intentionally difficult and postmodern, with some finding it intriguing and others pretentious.
