As someone in a random comments section put it "Yiik is like if Earthbound and Persona had a love child, but then found out that they were brother and sister".
-
"She was like the old Bruce Lee quote, "Be like water." She was my water, rushing into all the cracks" Who wrote this and genuinely thought this quote fit the metaphor?
-
Rory: “ MY 12 YEAR OLD SISTER KILLED HERSELF RIGHT HERE” Alex: “don’t care, didn’t ask”
-
This whole game just feels like one big "I hope she sees this bro" moment
-
"I sighed as the Elevator began to shake, vibrating with motion." That is literally a line in this game. Send help.
-
“I’m everyone’s punching bag” You literally just told that guy that nobody cares about his dead sister. If you can dish it out, you should be able to take it.
-
“Inside of my dream, she entered my dream” A beautiful quote by our main character in Y2K
-
The creator was so moved by the suffering of an Asian woman he made a game so one of the endings could’ve been her being with her forever
-
"7 girlfriends from high school and college" Your self insert is showing
-
> Sets game in 90's > Tons of references and trends from 2000's and 2010's ok.
-
The fact that Rory is drawn with a philtrum and few other facial details is bugging the hell out of me. It makes it look like his nose is constantly dripping.
-
The actual point of the game wasn’t to make an unlikable main character, it was to make an unlikable game developer.
-
The funny thing about YllK is that I think it tries to be deconstructionist and deep but it actually ends up constructing the tropes by accident. They took a sledgehammer and made a wall.
-
“If they play a game where a character is unlikable or has to do some bad things, they get triggered immediately!” Clearly this man has no conception of how many people are horny for good villains
-
Went to PAX prime the year before this game came out. Got to play the demo for a bit while the creative director of this game hovered over me (very uncomfortable situation). When the game bugged out during an attack mini game the sleaze ball got pissed at me for “playing the game wrong”
-
“Unconscious from a lack of humanity in her vessel.” I hate it when writers think more words are automatically better. I wouldn’t put that in a first draft
-
The way the dialogue is written is like how a high schooler has to write a minimum 500 word essay
-
Virgin Vella: Pain is inevitable. suffering is optional. Chad Alpaca: Lemonade
-
This just feels like the creator wanted to write a book but was like, “No one cares about books anymore let’s make a video game and change nothing”
-
This is the kind of shit that Xavier Renegade Angel exists to mock
