AWESOMEoutof10's Darik Kirschman is positively smitten with The Yawhg's choose your own adventure style of game-play, so much so that he wrote an article for you to play too. "You sit down in front of your computer, the room dimly lit by the light of the screen. Upon turning it on and waiting for it to boot up — surely a Solid State Hard Drive would make this process faster, you consider — you’re greeted with the familiar desktop, filled with various icons. Clicking on Steam, you decide to peruse the latest games available to you, downloaded to your computer like magic. A curious game catches your eye, called The Yawhg. You aren't sure why, but you click on 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.
