It's that time of year again.
Was the negative backlash deserved or overdone? Through the various updates and changes post-release - has YIIK redeemed itself?
And most importantly - What the hell is going on?

The game is a fart in the wind.

Yiik redeemed itself as soon as there was a youtube poop of a running shine review.

It was deserved because the dev doubled down on insulting the critics, both inside game and outside the game

No. YIIK is the ultimate game for midwits, the kind of person that wants an 'obscure' game without willing to dig, or a 'smart' game that doesn't require you to think. It tries so hard to be postmodern and fails. When you dig beyond the surface the game is completely hollow and anyone that actually likes the game can't tell you jack shit about it.I've had the displeasure of interacting with fans and trying to discuss whatever the fuck the game is trying to do (and failing at), but the fans like the idea of having played the game while simultaneously not even thinking about it.

In retrospect the hate was overblown. It basically proved the majority of people who shat on it are posers similar to people who hop on hate bandwagons to shit on woke/"sexist" vidya when they weren't going to play it anyway, and the remainder, myself included, took the game's story at face value and thought the gameplay sucked. It threw everyone for a loop, but first impressions ARE everything and I feel the devs fumbled on it a bit. Had they spent more time with animating visual cues to indicate something's amiss in the story and Alex's narration, then maybe the game's story wouldn't have been shat on as much.The more important details and depth to Alex's character were in the Mind Dungeon and the web forum, which were both tedious/boring and seems to be the content everyone missed/ignored the most.
The context clues to Alex being an unreliable narrator and a narcissistic, insecure, lazy, traumatized faggot making up excuses to go on a schizo rabbit hole adventure were subtle enough to the point that a lot of people, me included, saw more as bad writing, which even some e-celebs (Dingdong and Julian on Oneyplays, RunningShine/Mallow) caught, but weren't able to piece together that it was intentional.
>Alex remarking how Sammy's face was unrecognizable when he first met her
>Sammy's name being mispronounced multiple times throughout the game
>Alex saying his parallel self cucked Vella out of her reality and then E-2000 just going right along with it when she never said it was him or even hinted that it was him
>Alex's personified "faults" were cooked up excuses besides the pretentious oneThe thing that frustrates me the most about all of this is YiiK "fans".
Nothing but memetic irony poised faggots pretending like they enjoy the game, let alone even played it outside of it being passive entertainment for them to gossip about. They share a lot in common with SH2fags and Mouthwashing trannies, which is VERY fucking telling.

I haven't played it, is it any fun? I know next to nothing about the game beyond the fact it exists, not even the genre

Undertale was accepted because the surface level game is good even if at the end it just exists to prop up the deconstruction/meta commentary/whatever on the medium.Shit like YiiK fails because it's just commentary.

The backlash was kinda overdone but yiik originally felt like a rough draft. Yiik iv however did make it my favore rpg in my life. I still think its a required taste but i say give it a shot if its on sale.

Does anyone have a DDL for v1.0 or pre-v1.25? Apparently, even the "Original Edit" option changes the monologues, and I'd like to play the game as close as possible to the original release. Thanks.

Y2K I.V is a very good game, but Y2K is a religious experience.
