RPS is having an Apocalypse Day! We’re celebrating the end of the world and games about it. Check back tomorrow, if we’re still all here.
The Yawhg is a game about what happens if the end of the world is coming but you don t know that, and thus don t care, and carry on doing whatever it was you were going to do anyway. Would it help? Would it matter? Would you survive?
It’s a PC game but plays like a board game, almost. There are four characters who take it in turns to do different things around the town (six weeks before the apocalypse = six turns per character), and you have to pick at least two. You can play alone, but fun with a friend is fun doubled, so I played The Yawhg with Colm Ahern from VideoGamer.
