YIIK: A Postmodern RPG Review – Kooky and Spooky
YIIK is an ambitious little RPG with an intriguing premise and engaging battle mechanics that is ultimately let down by some poor pacing and a very unruly inventory management system. In a game where stats matter so much, this is a pretty big issue to have. Regardless, if you can see past its flaws, there’s a kooky game here with a weird but wonderful plot and a lovable cast to enjoy.

YIIK is an ambitious and wacky RPG that despite having fascinating characters and a gripping surrealist narrative, falters in part due to poor pacing, a mediocre combat system and performance issues.
