The Yawhg, a self-described 'Choose-your-own-adventure game,“ is a visual novel created by Emily Carroll and Damian Sommerone. As a big fan of Carroll's comics, I may be a bit biased in reviewing this game, but I'll try my best to be impartial.

This is a very short game -- about twenty minutes per play-through -- but there's enough content to explore to warrant a few play-throughs. Similar to Carroll’s horror comics, The Yawhg’s story has a creepy and fatalistic tone inspired by Medieval European folklore.

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?

For the first half of a playthrough, all the characters just kind of live out their lives as you arbitrarily improve their stats. It’s fun and whimsical but there’s always an undertone of menace and warnings about the mysterious 'Yawhg' that may spur the player into thinking more carefully about their choices.

One of my characters was assaulted by a vampire, for instance (after fighting crime, of course!).

He went to work the next day as a janitor in the hospital and went on a massacre, drinking everyone’s blood. The hospital was closed down after that. That was a fair sign that my actions were not arbitrary and had real consequences.

The other sign was when the game ended and my vampirism came back to haunt me during the ending. Depending on how you play and what roles you choose in the survival efforts of the final act, you may get any number of good or bad endings. These alone make it worth playing the game several times, as they range from funny to haunting to charming.

The Yawhg feels more like a board game than a computer game. While it's not necessary to play with others, it's actually more fun to do so. Staking a claim on one of the characters and saying 'that's me' is all the more fun when your ending is considerably better or worse than that of your friends.

As a single player experience, all four of these characters -- to me -- had a stories, purposes, goals. And it was fun to build them up.

This game excels based on its charm. Everything other than the writing -- as well as the haunting music and atmosphere -- are pretty middling. That's fine for me, because I bought this game for the writing, but I can't comfortably recommend this game to anyone who isn't a fan of Gothic horror or witty multiplayer board games.

—'One of the best-written games I've played this year'—'I really enjoyed The Yawhg because it combines the story and the gameplay in a way that most visual novels simply don’t.' —'The Yawhg is a gorgeous adventure that's likely to amuse and move you in equal measure.' —'The real joy in the Yawhg comes from multiple experiences, and seeing the variety it has to offer. This is, of course, aided by the game being utterly charming on most every front.' —'The Yawhg is without question the most interesting narrative game I’ve played in the last year.' While I think RougeXvil was a little overly negative, I agree more with his sentiment than with the others spouting this game's virtue.For $10 you get about an hour and a half of entertainment.

I like the art, and I enjoyed the music, but once you have played the game through once you just see the same things happening again and again. There is not nearly enough variety in the stories to make it replayable more than two or three times.I cannot recommend the game based on a $10 price tag. Even if it were $5 I would suggest there are much more entertaining games that can be bought for $5. I think $2.50 would be a more realistic price tag. It's a nice game, but severely lacking in content.+7 votes.
