I've watched like 4 video essays on YIIK and haven't played it. But then I went through the demo for the updated version, and the sheer audacity made me applaud the game. I mean, having a character literally named Jocasta flirting with Alex while teaching him about the new battle system is a move most devs wouldn't be able to pull the trigger on. It's made me want to give the game a genuine chance.
