Our take on The Yawhg
The listing emphasizes a different story on every playthrough and more than 50 endings for each character. The actual format is a focused, choice-driven account of a town facing one returning threat, rather than a broad adventure with many different settings or activities.
What is The Yawhg?
The Yawhg is a choice-driven adventure for one to four players.
As the feared Yawhg prepares to return, the town’s residents decide how to live in the intervening period and what to do when it arrives. Player decisions influence the community and determine what happens to its characters. Each playthrough generates a different story, and every character can reach more than 50 possible endings. The game supports solo play and shared sessions with friends. Its presentation includes artwork by Emily Carroll and a soundtrack by Ryan Roth, known for work on Starseed Pilgrim.
