fun fact: toby made a tweet that he supported the game and deleted that tweet when the game came out

Toby must be so fucking embarassed of how he was able to only make one song for such a perfect game

Now it's long enough to last one normal battle

Toby actually took heavy inspiration from YIIK in creating Deltarune. Kris wanting to be free from The Player in Deltarune is a reference to The Player wanting to be free from Alex in YIIK.

I know stripe shirt is taking a picture, but I like to imagine he's chugging from a huge flask because he knows what game he's in.

Imagine someone telling you this game was bad with no context other than this song and cover photo.

Yall mind if I begin to shake, vibrating with motion?

Leave it to Toby to leave at least SOMEthing for us to enjoy in YiiK.

Moral of the Story: You can make an artsy game with a clear message. But don’t forget that it’s a game first.

This makes me vibrate with motion.

This song makes me dance hardly, move my body brutally.

Truly the morbius of indie games

What sucks is that i like so many concepts about this game but in the end it just turned out mediocre

this song could've been in deltarune chapter 2

What a brilliant track for a...... [insert a unsure adjective here] game

pros of YIIK: has toby fox music. cons of YIIK: everything else.

This collection of noises arranged in a rhythmic pattern took affect on my body resulting with it beginning to vibrate with motion. This aforementioned motion propelled my body to move in a rhythmic way. As if this song were calling out to my skin and it’s one command was to simply dance. I felt my arms begin to move: whether it be by my command or the song’s I was unable to tell. My lower body began to follow suit right after like my arms told my torso to listen up and obey which it did without hesitation. I felt a specific emotion: similar to joy with a sweet aftertaste. My entire body permeates with a feeling of greatness and happiness like I just beat a kid’s multi thousand high score in a arcade game after billions of quarters have been emptied into the machine’s pockets. I was on top of the world reaching into space with the moon ready to feel my grasp. Then with the fierceness this greatness entered with it quickly exits. It has reached it’s time limit and so it crawls back into it’s hidey hole known as the end screen only being prompted to come back out once the replay button was pressed. Both sadness and joy filled my body near simultaneously with the joy beating it out by a millisecond. On one side of my brain I was sad that this emotion left my body but on the other side I was happy knowing that I can remember that feeling once my brain decides on one emotion being joy which upon that moment they place a theoretical record into the theoretical player resulting in this beautiful tune and song replay within the bounds of my skull with that feeling being emulated as that record turns.

This song appears in "Dialogue: The Game"

T...Toby Fox?! Toby "Undertale" Fox?! Toby "EarthBound Halloween Hack" Fox?! Toby "Homestuck" Fox?! Toby "Deltarune" Fox?! on YIIK's soundtrack?!

I am yiiking out

The worst thing about this game is how much potential it had. I really think it could have been a masterpiece.

Remember, If shit goes down, Toby is not gonna have your back

A good song for a bad game Undertale au fandom: don't worry, we will find him a better place

Michael didn't even take the lens cap off the camera

Sucks that such a good song is wasted on this game

Honestly the "box art" or whatever it's supposed to be (the art used as the video) is pretty cool, shows off the personalities of the characters. Vella's playing her synth, Michael is taking a picture of something, The Essentia 2000 is mysteriously in the background and far larger than everyone else, implying plot relevancy greater than expected, Alex (and Dali) are center, implying they're the center of the plot (which they are, at least Alex for sure), Panda Bear-ier is holding out a shield with a sword, implying the protectiveness he gives the party, or at least Alex, who he's the closest to and facing away from, Claudio has his replica katana out and is in an anime-esque fighting pose, Rory is hooded and cast in deep shadow, being lit from under, giving him a dark, more mysterious aura, and Chondra is gracefully using her hula-hoop. I know I'm probably putting too much thought into this, but YIIK does have some good theming at times, you've gotta admit.

When the battle theme is one million times better than the actual final boss theme.

Don't be concern Toby, there's no disgrace to work on any game that didn't go well.

ngl this got me yiiking

you looped it better than the game does lmao

I'M GONNA YIIK OOO I'M YIIKIN OUT OOOOOOOOO YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

so this is what they call a sonic 2006?

toby why

I love how you can always tell when a song was made by Toby Fox

Even Toby Fox is disappointed. The game looks cool... just... looks cool... ugh.

Breaking news: Bearded manchild goes into a outer-planar dimension to beat up boring enemies and complain about everything in verbose- find out how Toby Fox was involved.

Even bad games sometimes have something good about them. In the case of YIIK, it's this song(which Toby really should reuse in another project of his). And also Chondra in this picture.

Finally, Toby Fox music in a GOOD gane

Toby Fox if he worked on a good game:

Michael shows up more in this picture than he does in the entire game.

This theme really makin me feel something this whole game don't

"When the going gets tough. Tobitins Fox will not have your back!"

_"When shit hits the fan, good-ol' tobey won't have your back."_ *- Running Shine*

Toby Fox: I'm famous! I made two awesome games people LOVE ENDLESSLY! I'm super rich! NOTHING can ruin my reputation in anyway now! YIIK: Good and lovely morning, which is the time after night, sir who is not a female. Can you please possibly maybe somehow make and create audible good yay music for our game which has player interaction? Toby:...For how much? YIIK: *demonic sounds* Toby: If I do it for you, will you leave sooner? YIIk: Positively affirmative. Toby:...Fine. What's the worst that can happen?

This games name is yeek, rhymes with fleek and seek, and anyone who argues legally forfeits their right to feet

Man, the music and even the art looks aesthetically pleasing. It's such a shame the game wasn't as good as it looked.

this truly is the best persona game

I'm glad Toby didn't put a lot of time in this. Almost sounds like an old project he resurfaced. Edit: then again, if I listened to this on Deltarune, I’d probably really love it lol. Still, could use a little bit more work.

Lemonade

It's such a shame, honestly. I listen to this song and I think about what the game could have been. Mourning a concept that never came to pass is an odd feeling.

This sounds like it could've been in Deltarune. * Looks at title again * ..Ah.

Dude i'm YIIKing out

I've been on the internet most of my life, and I have NEVER seen such an insanely dedicated video game hatedom like this one lmao

A Toby Fox composition is always good, no matter the quality of the media it appears in.

I love the artstyle in this game, I really enjoy the music, I really liked the ideas the developers were trying to do, I like the voice acting, and I liked how they tried to be original. I really do respect all the effort put into the game. It's just a shame so many things were poorly executed. -For one, the main character Alex has got to be my least favorite character in a video game... probably ever. Sure, to be fair, he grows a bit throughout the story, but I still hated him throughout the whole game. -The dialogue... oh my God... it's one of the worst I've seen in a game. There's so much dialogue that's so unnecessary, so many pointless monologues Alex does (this is where show don't tell would've went a long way here everybody!), and moments where it's downright CRINGY (like a character pulling the race card when it comes to lock picking). The game treats itself like a visual novel of some kind, and for a game like this, it doesn't work. The only saving grace here has got to be the voice actors. Minus all the yelling, they did a very decent job, no matter how bad the dialogue is. -The endings... oh boy. I heard the developers rewrote one of the endings (but correct me if I'm wrong), but even with that, they felt very rushed, very unsatisfying. Sure, I've seen worse endings in other games, but bloody hell. -Almost all characters, except for Vella and another character, are very bland. They feel very generic, you don't feel attached to them while the story continues. -Speaking of story, for 2/3 of the game, I thought it was okay. The last 1/3 though, it's very confusing. There were just moments where it just didn't add up, questions that weren't even answered. Not to mention the horrible endings. EDIT: The story itself even has a very, very messy tone. Like, it's like it can't choose what it wants to be, which makes moments not that effective. -The gameplay is fine while exploring in my opinion. Sure, it can get a bit tedious at times when it comes to puzzles, but I can get past those. Combat however, while I respect the effort, it's way too damn slow with very little polish. The balancing is so freaking messy, it can make some battles go by fast, while some can last for over twenty minutes. The quick time events were pretty cool at first, but they get very tiring after using them over and over again. By the time you play it for three hours, combat feels so freaking same-y, even with different enemies with more health and more attack power (that's how I felt anyway). -I liked the mind dungeon idea, but I think they should've made things feel a bit less tedious. -Some very questionable design choices. Overall, I really do appreciate the effort put into this game, but I can't say it's good. I think it's just mediocre, the kind of mediocre you don't want to hate due to the amount of work put into it. There was a lot of potential here, but if there were more people on the team making it, I believe it would've turned out better. That said, I'm really interested in how the VITA version turns out. I have high hopes that the port will be decent, since it's being delayed and the game is in Unity. Sure, usually games running in Unity run poorly on VITA, but with some optimization, I believe they can run well on the system.

I love being in yiik!

The imaginary fight scene in my mind rn is bussin

This song is basically a mint-copy of Earthbound in a landfill of copies of E.T. for the Atari 2600.

When the ship sinks, Toby's the first one on the lifeboat.

This game’s plot and art style are just the product of incest between Persona and Earthbound.

YIIK is genuinely one of the only games that actually fits the description of "It's so bad it's good." The game has so many flaws and issues, but the unbearable amount of passion the devs put into their project is so obvious that it ends up looping back to being an incredibly endearing game looking from an 3rd party perspective. I despise, and love this game. YIIK is ironically the best, and worst game I've ever had the chance of knowing. Shame so few can actually sense passion in a project, even with it being a total failure. Alas, majority only view the surface of the water. If there was one thing that YIIK was best at, it was being an example for all future indie devs to know that even if you're the most passionate, inspired, and creative person, you still need a storyboard. I pray for another No Mans Sky because the devs deserve it.

L E M O N A D E

This is one of Toby’s best songs tbh

If you knew nothing about this game other than this song and this cover art you'd probably think it was really good

I'm a simple man, I see "made by Toby Fox" in the title, I click.

Ah, yes, "YoK", my favorite game.

Why does this song and one image look better than the entire game

This game had promising artstyle and alot of very cool ideas, but it was just not for me. Althought i do like the message of not being like hipster.

Toby Fox is like a ray of sunshine, shining brightly into the otherwise gloomy darkness, illuminating my soul with hope.

Remember, when crap goes down, Toby's not gonna have your back

Is it me or has Toby's thing recently been making songs that are the best part of otherwise underwhelming games.

this video is the length of the average battle in yiik

God I'm in love with this song. Anything Toby makes is a bop

The incredibly disrespectful thing is, he had TOBY FOX make a track for his game, and then turned around and said that the reason his game failed was because video games can't have deeper meaning or serious topics. He has to have known what Toby Fox has done, which makes what he says that much more disrespectful.

Why is everyone shitting on Alex Yiik? He is our ginger savior :

From what I have seen from the 1.25 project, that remake will be worthy of this OST QUALITY

i like to come to this and pretend i’m listening to a song from a really good game.

Me: “People say this game sucks, so I’m not looking forward to the OST…” (Turns on this song) Me: “This game’s music is a straight BOP.”

Damn how’d a song this good come out of such a bad ga- “By Toby Fox” Ah yeah that makes sense then

Love dunking on Alex YiiK as much as the next guy, but I'm genuinely kinda excited to hear this song once YiiK I.V drops Really hope the game can make a weird comeback with the update

Finding out Toby Fox made music for this game is like finding a dog turd sprinkled with glitter in the middle of a sidewalk.

I swear I heard a bit of the song somewhere in Deltarune.

This is handsdown the best part of this game lol

Dang. now this theme is FIRE. A shame the game couldn’t be as good as this theme

But what gender is the cat?

Imagine my surprise when I found out that blonde guy has both a hood AND hair

Listening to this every day until version I.V drops!

Can i say, without context this art looks like its presenting a really cool cast of characters? Heck even the panda looks silly and helpful, maybe as some little brother type figure that always wants to join in on the fight Sadly the game doesnt portray these designs justice..

The worst part about this great track being in a bad game is that no one will remix it or arrange it.

And now YIIK I.V. has been announced, hopefully it fixes up the game

Michael is the best character and they just forgot he existed immediately

Not even Toby’s music could save this game.

It ain't fair, this song the splash art alone is enough premise for a good game

YIIK would have been way better off as a novel. I mean, the writing isn't perfect, nor is the story, but more focus on those points, instead of on a broken gameplay and a fundamentally wrong use of the video game medium might have improved the thing a whole lot. Like, if they just scrapped the "game" elements and made it into a visual novel with the same art direction and music, and with a bit of help in the writing departement, YIIK might have genuinely been a good experience. Shame.

Vibing with motion

When ever Toby helps put music to something that’s not his own creation it always back fires into a lackluster game. This and pokemon so far.

I tried playing this during a DnD game, and it crashed another person's computer. This game is cursed.

Only good thing about the drawn out battles is that at least the music is good
