YIIK: A Postmodern RPG is an upcoming indie role-playing video game by American developer Ackk Studios. A demo was released in June 2016 on Microsoft Windows and MacOS; the game will also be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U and Nintendo Switch.[1]

Gameplay

The game is a colourful 3D Japanese-style RPG. It is set in the 1990s and is based around a mystery in a small town. There are eight characters who are message board friends. They work together to investigate the mystery around a viral video star called Sammy Pack, who goes missing in a supernatural event. The player can control the characters in turn based battle 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.[2][3][4][5][6]

Development

The game is built on the Unity game engine.[7]
