SteamFirst: The Yawhg is coming in 6 weeks and no one expects it. With it comes destruction, sickness and death. In your last 6 weeks of normal life you can choose how your story plays out. You can spend the 6 weeks hanging around the hospital and meditating to become the town doctor once the storm hits. Or you can focus on magic and physique to be the town conjurer and use your skills to gather supplies to help rebuild. No matter what you do there’s no happily ever after to The Yawhg, a choose-your-own-adventure by Damien Sommers and Emily Carroll.
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.
