The Developer Says...

The Yawhg is a one-to-four player choose-your-own-adventure game that randomizes a unique story every time you play. The evil Yawhg is returning. How will the town’s locals lead their lives in the meanwhile, and what will they do when the dreaded Yawhg finally arrives?

❤ Narrative-Driven Gameplay

You control up to 4 different characters, each with their own stats and abilities, and make decisions about how those characters will spend their time and respond to random events that occur over the course of 6 in-game weeks leading up to the arrival of the mysterious entity known as "The Yawhg". Your choices directly impact the development of the story and the ultimate fate of the town and its inhabitants.

❤ Randomized Events and Interconnected Narratives

The game randomizes the specific events that transpire at each location the characters visit, while the core locations remain the same. This leads to a unique experience with every playthrough, as the events are interconnected - actions taken by one character can influence the experiences of the other characters, creating a sense of a living, breathing world.

❤ Stat-Based Outcomes

The outcomes of the events are largely determined by the stats of the individual characters. Each character has attributes like Strength, Finesse, Mind, Charm, Magic, and Wealth, and the choices available to them in a given situation will be influenced by their current stat values. This encourages you to consider the strengths and weaknesses of your characters and plan your actions accordingly, leading to a more strategic and meaningful decision-making process.

❤ Emergent Narratives and Replay Value

The combination of randomized events, interconnected narratives, and stat-based outcomes results in a high degree of replay value. No two playthroughs are ever exactly the same, and the emergent stories that arise from the unique combinations of your choices and character abilities can be deeply engaging and surprising. You are encouraged to experiment with different character builds and approaches to uncover new narrative threads and outcomes.

❤ Multiplayer Functionality

The game supports up to 4 players in local co-op, allowing friends to experience the narrative together and collaborate on their decision-making. This added social element can enhance the overall experience, as you and your friends discuss and debate the best course of action for your characters, leading to shared moments of triumph, tragedy, and everything in between.
