Laser Lemming Writes "Dramatic irony, great story telling feeds on it like a large lumbering beast ready to swallow up the unsuspecting inhabitants of whatever fiction you might be indulging in, Shakespeare and much more recently George R R Martin, basically made their careers with the stuff. However it’s a narrative tool that has by and large escaped the realm of video games, Save for Mass Effect and the Reapers. However in The Yawhg no one is under the false apprehension that there is any chance of stopping the creature from destroying the Fairytale City in which the game is set. The apocalypse is coming, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it."
Gary Hartley Writes: The kind of tainted fairy-tale spectacle The Yawhg promotes sadly fades all too soon, despite the whimsically strong writing and the playful art that often hints at a slightly darker edge. For all its subtle melancholy and inventive storytelling, there’s only a small window of time when all these things mesh together to create something special. After that, it’s more about rediscovery and rehashing in the futile hopes that relevance can be discovered by combining the old and worn.
A good RPG is really difficult to find these days. Can The Yawhg be counted among some of the greatest India RPG titles out there? Or is it another one of those games which no one will think about a few years down the road.
