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.

Avoiderdragon: Being able to paint your own picture or write your own story is something that games have always tried to tap into throughout time. It’s not just a matter of choice, but also an appeal to one’s creativity for coming up with a player’s own unique experience. It’s an ever-elusive light at the end of the tunnel that developers will pursue for eternity, and the journey has resulted in some pretty good titles that have memorable narratives. The Yawhg is one of those games, and it’s worth playing through even though a lot of people would think that it’s not even much of a “game” to begin with.
