The Yawhg

8/10

This game is such a nice, low-key experience. It's very amusing at times and the music is kind of relaxing. If you're into fantasy games and you want to chill with friends or your kids, this is a good one to pick. My husband and I play it with our two daughters, ages 7 and 10.

Always a light fun time with the friends. Was shocked and devastated [spoiler] when I outplayed the terrible lute bard and found him hanging in the woods with a note pointing me as the cause [/spoiler]. Sometimes failures are unexpected and funny and other times it wrecked so many things, even to the end. Only wish I could adjust the volume when streaming for friends T.T

A short but ultimately enjoyable experience with a decent amount of replayability, The Yawhg is a game that at times can feel like the setup to something more - but ultimately, is the product of a focused vision and a very short time-scale. It's similar to a visual novel in many ways, but instead of a grand and expansive narrative and established characters, there's more of a... small-scale approach. You're able to read through everything and finish a single run (with minimum two characters) in about 7 minutes or so in my experience, which is certainly a lot shorter than I was expecting. It's hard to explain exactly what this game really is. It's kind of a narrative game, but it has a very short and clear narrative. It's got a lot of endings, but they don't always seem to vary based on your own decisions. You're presented with choices in a manner similar to Long Live The Queen, but there's not nearly as much payoff or investment. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid title and worth a purchase on sale, but it's not really something you can play for hours and get a lot out of, just because there's not a lot there.

Delightful, clever, and strangely addicting. I keep coming back this one.

An oldie but a goodie, the Yawhg is a gorgeous romp through a fantasy world absolutely oozing whimsy and mystery thanks to Emily Carroll's unique and captivating art style. The game is extremely replayable, and even more fun when you invite a friend or three to join in. Super worth the money, it's like an interactive fantasy comic. I wish I could forget everything I know about it so I can play it again for the first time.

Apesar de musicas e ilustrações agradáveis, o "jogo" gira em torno de texto, sem maiores explicações, os atributos dos personagens e escolhas não tem propósito algum, com resultados totalmente aleatórios e duração de 10 minutos no máximo. Não vale mais do que 30 centavos. Não recomendo a ninguém.

Lo compré porque leí que es una influencia directa para Monster Prom y se nota a kilómetros. Este es un juego bastante más serio, con una narrativa menos "cualquier cosa" y con menos appeal para furros supongo. Las decisiones y eventos que suceden en turnos anteriores realmente tienen un impacto significativo en las partidas, y si bien aplaudo este aspecto, también tengo que decir que presiento que tiene menos contenido que Monster Prom. Aun así, creo que si te gustan este tipo de juegos de "elige tu propia aventura" o las novelas visuales, podrías darle una oportunidad cuando esté de oferta.
