YIIK is a colourful 3D Japanese-Style RPG set in the 1990s and based around a mystery in a small town. Recent college graduate Alex Eggleston gathers weirdos from the internet to investigate the mystery around Sammy Pak, a mysterious woman who goes missing in a supernatural event. The player can control the characters in turn based battles where normal everyday objects are used as weapons. The combat consists of turn based moves with timing based actions which can increase the damage of an attack. There are six dungeons to explore which include battles, puzzles which have to be solved, and traps that have to be avoided. There are approximately twenty five hours of gameplay.

The combat is broken, the narrative is overwrought, plagiaristic, and deeply problematic, the characters are either deliberately unlikeable in ways that are uninteresting or two-dimensional gags who destroy their own tone when they attempt to be serious, and the music has a few standout tracks but the majority runs the gamut from forgettable to flat out bad.
Its visual aesthetic is actually really good, but that doesn't remotely make playing this deeply unpleasant experience worth it.
