No, it was an honest attempt at making a good game, but it failed and the game is bad. But the thing is, they tried so hard to make "le funny heckin' self-aware indie game that references all your favourite games from your childhood and subverts your expectations!" that it became a funny self-satire.
It's basically a stereotype of bad western indie games, but unironically.
I'm really starting to get tired of this format, especially since most of the time it's some hack reading wiki articles and not giving any input or foresight. I can see watching for educational purposes purely but when it's for vidya doing a QRD and giving personal insight works better since the medium is interactive.

When you think you're sad and pathetic, remember there are anons who will sit and watch that entire 2 hour video at 1.0x speed beginning to end.

I saw this when it was first released and thought "no way am I watching this, I didn't even play the game" but the guy is actually pretty funny at times and his humor carried me through the whole thing. There's one part that's mostly in the background, you really gotta listen hard for it, but it's an edited goofy movie clip where goofy talks about date raping, the out of left field nature of it combined with the fact that you have to listen closely just tickled me pink for some reason.
The video above is great but tl;dw is basically: >Western devs try to make cool game and be famous and cool adn beloved >they make a shit game >they get super angry about it being panned and decide to make a new game to stick it up to the haters >they self advertise as le quirky game devs totally making something for le quirky gamers out there >the end result is a shit game that unintentionally becomes ironic kino as a self-satire of quirky indie games
Here's the game selling pitch: >Alex YIIK is a disgruntled gamer who feels entitled to women's emotional labour just because he saves them from interdimensional beings, go on a nostalgia-ridden trip with him across late 2016 America, in which Alex will touch grass and meet a diverse cast of friends! >Will Alex grow as a person and self-educate? Or will he be lead down by hatred into isolating from others, being insensitive towards his friends and eventually losing it all in his self-absorbed crusade for personal grandeur? >Play YIIK: A Postmodern RPG to find out! >Also...

I am playing YIIK right now and let me tell you that I like the art style but there are characters who talk and talk and talk, you know what I mean? they talk so much without getting to the point like in the beginning of the game, that bird Marelene? I think that is his name, He asks you questions and those questions seems to never end and you go on and go on answering those questions one after another while thinking to yourself when you will be able to finally start the real game, to start playing with the character and having fun and making good memories, but the questions keep coming and coming and coming until suddenly the questions end and you can finally play with the mc, but then you talk with an npc because you like to talk with every npc just like when you were a kid and to explore all the stage to have a full experience, to immerse yourself into the world of the game and feel its life, but the npc who you talked to, start talking and talking and talking like he has no more motivation in life that talking to you, like he hates his shitty job and he wants relieve some stress by talking with someone, anyone, and there you are, the only man in town who approaches him just to say hi, because you like to being nice to npcs, to treat them respectfully, because it's just like when your grandma told you about the golden rule "treat others the way you want to be treated"

and you want to be a nice human even to npcs just like she taught you. So this man is happy to see you and starts talking about his magazine and that the internet is ruining his business and wants you to donate to him, he wants you to become his patreon so he doesn't end up in the streets, he wants you to feel bad so you donate to him. Can you believe it? It seems to me he didn't have a good grandma to teach him how to be a nice human being just like my grandma taught me. After all the pity talking I tried to donate to him but I I bet you can't guess what happened next I didn't have any money! So I promised to give him some money later and then left to my house. That has been my Yiik experience until now. I'll play some tomorrow and it seems I have to talk with the mc parents but let's see what else this game has to offer me.
RORY HOLY SHIT I ONLY WANT TO RAPE THIS VAGUELY ETHNIC EXOTIC KOREAN PSYCHIC b***h TO FORGET ABOUT TOTALLY NOT ELISA LAM AND HER STUPID CAT, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR BROTHER WHO TROONED OUT AND ACKED HIMSELF
i would love it if they made sequels and just kept adding I to it. YIIK, YIIIK, YIIIIK, ect. But it would ruin it if they acknowledged that they were self aware of this crap, which i know they already are.

Contribute music to this shitpost of a game? I dunno, guy gets around. He's in Pokemon, random farming simulators, loose pirate vtubers. The better question is why wouldn't he?
I'm TOTALLY YIIKING OUT right now!!!
YIIIIIK! Is that a mouse?!
Underrated post-ironic masterpiece
he can't keep getting away with it
when ur science project is dogshit but it's due so you have to present it anyways
So it's bad on purpose...!

It's Yiiking time!
What did they mean by this?
> WHAT IS HAPPENING?
> WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
Forced Yiiking
Good, YIIK is a game made for gamers.
Alex YIIK is literally me, and also literally you, literally.
He's just like me!
Why did Alex Yiik destroy reality?
QRD on Yiik and the Yiikverse.
this video will tell you all you need to know
Thanks. Long video though. This Yiik think must be a big deal!
it's a yiiking massive lore

How is that any worse than the 8+ hours you spend farting your opinions into the ether of Ganker every day?
says the guy who literally just tried to hot post to the 2nd ever post on Ganker lmao.
Bragging that you have a tiny attention span is not going to make anyone feel jealous

Some of the shit in this game, wtf. There's a character based on a woman who died? What the frick is wrong with YIIK??
Yep, the whole call to action for the protagonist is to find a girl whose disappearance is based on the mystery of Elisa Lam.
MARK IM LOOKING FOR ULTIMA LP LEGEND
HEY
HAVE YOU READ THE COVER MY GINGER BEARDED homie
this will be outdated in a few monhs. the entire game will have a rework/sequel update for free
It'll be equally as terrible as it was before, let's be real.
I have a nagging feeling that Ackk actually knows exactly what they've created.
Sex with Vella Wilde
wat
Interesting. That does sound like western devs.
Here's the game selling pitch:
>Alex YIIK is a disgruntled gamer who feels entitled to women's emotional labour just because he saves them from interdimensional beings, go on a nostalgia-ridden trip with him across late 2016 America, in which Alex will touch grass and meet a diverse cast of friends!

>Play YIIK: A Postmodern RPG to find out!

Lame. Is it worth pirating to laugh at how bad it is? There better be mods.
Watch the 2 hour video posted above, it has everything good about the game without having to put up with the bad
Fair enough.
>Acknowledging Brian's existence
Got a chuckle out of me

Has the remake/update/gold edition or whatever it is come out yet?
LEMONADE
YEAH LEMONADE LLAMA
Yiik will never be a cult classic
>YIIK: a postmodern RPG by Studio ACK!
lemonade.
Is Alex YIIK the chuddiest videogame character ever made?
When he said to the Korean chick that he wanted to blast ropes on her ethnic features I thought that was a bit on the nose.
I still can't believe the kiss Rory ending showed a shot for shot recreation of Elliot Rodgers manifesto
yeah and the cutscene where he goes onto a bbw forum solidified that for me
Alex Yiik has patrician taste in braphogs
WHAT THE FRICK IS GOING ON?!
Post edits that have no idea what the frick they're seeing.
Hearty kek, love the fact its the outside map of ??? too.
ROSE IS RED
VIOLET IS BLUE
FLAG IS WIN
BABA IS YOU
WALL IS STOP
ALEX!!! YOU RAPED MY SISTER AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS GET OVER IT!?
SHUT THE FRICK UP RORY, NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR homosexual SISTER RIGHT NOW
WE WERE ALMOST RAPED OURSELVES RIGHT NOW
WELL I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN SO THAT I COULD HAVE WATCHED
RORY HOLY SHIT I ONLY WANT TO RAPE THIS VAGUELY ETHNIC EXOTIC KOREAN PSYCHIC b***h TO FORGET ABOUT TOTALLY NOT ELISA LAM AND HER STUPID CAT, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR BROTHER WHO TROONED OUT AND ACKED HIMSELF
But Alex my sister is biologically female and killed herself because girls bullied her for having me a raging homosexual as a brother
So where's that update?
Didn't the dev kill himself?
That's Alec holowaka of NIGHT IN THE WOODS
I'M YIIKiNG OUT!
How long untill YIIK IV?
You mean... YVIK?
It's YIIIK you dummy
i would love it if they made sequels and just kept adding I to it. YIIK, YIIIK, YIIIIK, ect. But it would ruin it if they acknowledged that they were self aware of this crap, which i know they already are.
About another four years
About 2 millennia. Strap in your seatbelt.
Forget yick 4, has anyone figured out the proper way to the tower ending yet?
Kiss Rory
Brutally raping fem Alex to shut her the frick up
>no glasses
what is the point of this shit
for your consideration
why he looks like a wojak
i think the game could be improved if he was bald
so uh are we treating this game the same as baland wonderland?basically it's shit but we know
it's cringekino
Yiik the man VS Yiik the idea
Everyone knows Rory's sister is dead as frick.
>horrible opening
But who knows what the HELL is going on?
How do I beat this boss.
Do you not have Alex's final?
No, I'm at level 30.
Is the game worth a pirate? I unironically want to witness it for myself, but I can't imagine actually putting my own money towards it.
Sure, you can download it from gog-games
Unless you really enjoy F-tier trainwrecks, no, not unless you're being paid to play it

We need more good pics of Chondra's fat black ass
Imagine you're this guy, and you really wanna jerk off in front of this girl (with consent)
i unironically believe this game is a hidden gem and a heavily veiled critique of arcadian-new england liberal lifestyle
Why did he do it?
Contribute music to this shitpost of a game? I dunno, guy gets around. He's in Pokemon, random farming simulators, loose pirate vtubers. The better question is why wouldn't he?
Because when shit goes down, he's not gonna have your back.
Piece of shit coward. The Yiik community will never forgive him. Deltatroon is finished.
he was holding all the cards anon
So that deltarune will only be the second biggest indie disaster
nobody actually plays this game, they just meme about it because of oneyplays
I LOVE BEING IN YIIK
